Abrasion
I fall on the historical cliffs: loss of humanity, stables, auctions, violations, torture, kidnappings, dead, disappeared, mud poured into the open eyes of the elderly, destroyed fullness, home, denial of one's own culture, misery, hunger, spirits in anger, gold, sugar, weapons of fire, the birth of imperious, oil, beheading, etc. I have asked the head, the demographic system, the disaster, the disaster, which has exploded: “Who cares about all this?”
Those who died were not from here, it was not the blood from here, it was not the culture from here, if not, surely it would be another. How many boys and men left Euskal Herria not to survive or live better, but to enrich themselves? This ambitious project obsessed them, and their trajectory was not as it is here in the Basque Country. Who can believe? Today someone will say that all this has to be overcome, that the centuries have passed, and it would be good to say if reality were different.
"A College of Secondary Education was called Pedro Ursua. Who was Pedro Ursua? In a cultural center there is a tomb of Andrés Madariaga Amatiano. Who was Andrés Madariaga Amatiano? Who was Lope Agirre? Etc."

Is colonization not a way of legitimizing exploitation and genocide? Isn't this the way to legitimize crime and injustice? What has been done in all these centuries of dependency? How do you create a new existence? How do we free our thought, our body from the earth? How do we mobilize collective consciousness while we're here? Is it possible to stop feeling oppression? How many centuries of prejudice do we have to overcome?
We are a village of losers, a crushed village. Slavery stopped and divided our history, stopped the clock. We were in ourselves, in our conception of the world, developing our culture, writing our history, and another global economic system broke us, dismantled us and turned us into merchants.
We already know, it will be repeated. Has that day come? It repeats itself, chaos and order govern. There will come a time when we will not be able to name ourselves, its name will slowly be erased from our memory and then it will disappear completely. Does it imply the dominance of human development? Do we have to destroy something to live?

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]
We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]
Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.
The reading of the documentation... [+]
Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
