Chile. In Santiago de Compostela, the annual UN meeting on climate change was scheduled: COP25 this year. However, the current political crisis does not “guarantee” the “normal” activity of this international diplomatic act. President Sebastián Piñera has therefore surrendered and will be celebrated in the capital of Spain. In October his government increased the price of the metro ticket by 30 pesos and caused the largest mobilizations and protests of this drop of water in 30 years. “It’s not 30 pesos, it’s 30 years,” we’ve heard the angry Chileans. The neoliberal shock that began in Chile after 30 years has not shown the latest results. The deadly legacy left by the dictator Pinochet is said to be alive.
The example of the Mapuches is very significant. Bethlehem said that they are not waiting for a climate and ecological collapse, as its civilization was collapsed 500 years ago. The one that goes to collapse is the colonizers.
Greta and Bethlehem. Gloria Baigorri, Chilean engineer and activist visited us before the October uprising. He completed his doctoral thesis on technology and socio-ecological problems at the UPV/EHU and obtained the Central Thermal case study of Boroa. On this occasion we were talking about Energy Transition and Democracy at the Sarriko School of Economics, and the speech by Greta Thunberg and Belen Curamil brought our eyes and ears. We know the Scandinavian young man, the universal youth environmentalist movement Fridays For Future, who has just reached us, and the media campaign against him. However, the words of Belén Curamil, a young Mapuche, were not so close. His words were those of his father Alberto Curamili, Mapuche del Lónko (leader), political prisoner in Temuco prison, who received the Nobel Prize Alternative Goldman (Alberto Curamil Goldman Prize 2019) as an ecologist. Gloria set us as an example two models of activists and two compatible but very different worlds. The example of the Mapuches is very significant. Bethlehem said that they are not waiting for a climate and ecological collapse, as its civilization was collapsed 500 years ago. Now it's the collapse of the colonizers.
Madrid. Pedro Sánchez was pleased to receive the witness from Piñera. The Ministry for the Ecological Transition will approve the organisation of COP25 and launch a new green washing campaign. They will change the place, hijack the slogans of ecologists (sustainability, circular economy, energy transition, climate emergency...) and transform their meanings, but that does not modify the parameters of the emergency.
Gloria, in this long marathon, here and now, the ecologists of this part of the Atlantic will also take the witness of the Chileans. Together with you, in defense of Amalurra.

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]
I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
