Agur, Basque Country!

What sadness and sorrow gives us to see that the people who have lasted centuries and millennia are disappearing! The oldest peoples and languages of Europe, the Basque Country and the Basque Country, will soon have to change their names. Or the ministries of the interior of France and Spain will force them to change. There will only be empty provinces of Spain and France. Exactly five. And only two languages will be spoken: Spanish and French. These countries will cease to be the Basque Country in a natural and accepted way, in the name of well-being and coexistence. Abandoning national consciousness and linguistic awareness.

Given the current structural demography of the Basque Country, the variables of residents, citizenship, language, culture and fertility, the Basque Country will cease to have a wider, more open and mestizo existence, and the Basque Country will disappear as a national entity, intentionally ignoring its unique and characteristic character.

The Basque Country is a mestizo society, equipped with Spaniards and French, more with emigrants
who are forced to recognise and continue to repatriate on a daily basis. Unstoppable mestizages granted over the centuries do not help us to build the Basque
Country that we would like

Regarding the Basque Country, he takes note of the prophetic phrase of Miguel de Unamuno: “Let the Basque Country die on its own, until the last sigh.” Witness to this prophecy that is becoming a reality, data on the time when the use of Euskera has weakened, explained by scientific street measurements. And, of course, the linguistic choice and lack of awareness of the nationality of a hypothetical Basque Country and of children who may be vasco-speakers. This tangible reality leads us to think that ours has already done, or that we are experiencing the vital experience of a long agony among those who still have a small footprint of national and linguistic consciousness.

The small nations without structural state power in this world disappear day by day from the powerful national states, establishing a demographic, cultural and social dependence, through their false legal norms.

The Basque Country is a mestizo society, equipped with Spaniards and French, more with emigrants who are forced to recognise and continue to repatriate on a daily basis. Unstoppable mestizages granted for centuries do not help us to build the Basque Country that we would like. The Basque Country, lacking a State structure and having a minority language, is gradually collapsing within the Botxist National States and in the deep well of strong languages.

Resisting is not winning, it's prolonging agony.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

The aesthetic of

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]


Industrial policies: the tool of whom?

In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]


The personality

The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]

Don't say colonization

I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

Systems of Life

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
