The will of many citizens is for Euskal Herria as a whole to organize itself as a free and democratic Republic tica.En the previous occasion pointed out that a generation of previous vasco-speakers has endeavoured to design a complete national project, either with ethical and philosophical bases or with a political theory, or with joint plans in the linguistic and cultural fields, or with the aesthetic aspect itself. The architects have not failed, he said at the time, but the builders have not succeeded.

With the aim of correcting errors and restoring the road to national construction, we are now analysing the work of the founders of the national project, such as Aresti and Azurmendi, both in the contribution of each and in the collaboration between the two. Here we are, Joseba Sarrionandia has appeared to us in person and reminded us of an endearing concept of Joxe Azurmendi: that of citizenship.

Among other things, Sarrionandia has told us about the damage of nationalism, that we have not been able to share cultural strategies and to act together. And following that thread, I have begun to review the milestones that we have experienced in the development of this community in the last half century (to take a reference): the question of Burgos that we remember these days and everything that has brought us; the creative process of the unified Basque Country; the fair of Durango or Korrika and AEK; the antinuclear struggle of yesteryear and the victorious popular movement against the Basque nuclear coast; And I come to the conclusion that this people of Basques have a lot of decision and courage. And yet, we don't rise up. What are we missing?

Let us therefore look at the organisations that have given rise to this collective effort. Tools to turn all this temporary force into a lasting achievement: Does Euskal Telebista publikoa go in the direction of its founding objectives? Does Parliament and the Government really manage to turn the will of the Basques into law and become established? Do the different laws of the Basque Country, for example, give the Basque Country a solid basis for its development in society? What is the communication system that has prevailed in the Basque areas?And in the universities, have we managed to make the Basque Country subject and main object in the field of science, the arts, knowledge?

This is a very complex society; democratic coexistence, nothing else, has to be the key to being able to create a democratic nation from this plural community in which we live. The economy, which necessarily has to be socio-economic, has to start from that objective. In the sessions we have held, the cooperatives, the boxes, the industrial models… are they going in that direction now?

What kind of nation do we want? Why a nation? Sarrionandia, in intellectual dialogue with Azurmendi, tells us that the nation is above all a space of communication and that the definition of community of communication is more functional than any other definition of nation. I am prepared to accept this, if we consider that the axis of the communication community remains the language, and that, despite the fertility of the languages present, the only option to organize the free territory is the Basque. A multilingual Basque republic.
