That's the summer that we have, and with it the holidays that we usually link to this season, as if they were a reward to everything that has been given throughout the year. And again people want to go away. He wants to be on the famous coast, marvelous nature or the world's tallest nightclub, as if 2020-2021 had not given us ecological lessons. “Far away. The plane takes me away from my day to day.” Far or close. A Basque will want to cross the administrative border to discover our corners. But look, this year, in addition to the identity card, we have to teach the keeper something else. Certificate COVID-19. Condition: having passed the disease, having received the vaccine, or having been negative in the test in previous days. The COVID-19 certificate will also ask us to differentiate ourselves from day to day and be present at the cultural events in which we can travel. The entry worker or volunteer will become a keeper, channelling the possibility of enjoying the culture, the right, the ingenuity, the privilege – as you would like to call – to anyone with a potential certificate.

This year we have a limited possibility to travel far, close or emotionally, but not as much as last year, and that's probably why we accept the condition so easily. The simplest thing is to get vaccinated, turning “peace and two sos” into a “vaccine and two sos”. If not, the road is the PCR test. The citizens of the Northern Basque Country, thanks to Social Security, do not have to pay anything in order to do so; in Hego Euskal Herria, however, they have to pay an expensive price, which can be expected to be used to insert the economically precarious.

With all this, I'm not going to open up the lawsuit about the vaccine, but to interrogate the decision-making space about the vaccine, yes, by placing full emphasis on the exclusions and heavy prohibitions deriving from the choice not to do so. I'm not going to give answers, I'm just going to expand questions, I'm going to question our journal, which is changing a lot, no more. If we have the possibility to reopen doors for the “past world”, the COVID-19 certificate, as the doors will also be an intestinal medium for others. Because the condition is to have, because there's always someone out there who can't have it for one reason or another.
