I said goodbye pretty well and I don't know how to do it.

OK. 16 years ago, Letona invited me to write in Argia. It brought tremendous joy to me, because at the time my own love was not very strong. In fact, over the past six years, we lived through difficult times at the ikastolas, and those facts were amplified by my stains. And in this situation, it was very hard for me to convince myself of this offer, so I asked him.

“You, Xabier, are you sure?”

I don't remember exactly what he said to me.

“If I put it to you, it will be for something.

Since then, I have been showing in this Argia mirror the concerns and visions that have existed within me. And to complete today's article, I've also thought that I can find the guide in the fields that I've been working on for years. For this, in the last few days I have been rescuing the issues that I have brought to this window. And the result is that curiosity camps have not been so numerous. Here's the synthesis:

Self-training. It is clear, ale!, that this thought is my main constant, the location and explanation of many other issues. Within him, and thanks to him, I have understood, among other things, the development of people and communities, social transformation, real empowerment, the possibility of combining reality and utopia, as well as the maximum expression of democracy.

Cooperation and development cooperation. In the passage of the articles it is clear that these two themes have also inspired me a great admiration and interest, especially in my early years. Lately, however, respect and recognition do appear, but also disappointment towards some.

Ikastolas The experience of ikastolas stands out in many writings. It is, above all, the most representative practice of this people in the field of national construction and self-organization. Despite the ups and downs, the reality of ikastolas is that it is integrated and rubbed in society.

Nationalism. It is noted that my interest in general policy also derives from that angle. Behind this, mainly, I've had a feeling and a desire: A clear desire and a thirst for freedom to relate equally to Spain and France.

Personal challenges and internal development. From time to time, I have made a space for the couple, for love, for personal circumstances and for feelings.

Nothing else, thanks to the readers and the custody of Asurmendi.
