Concerns to stay
In an environment where the present day is fast, here are some of the concerns that have come to stay:
We should take advantage of the renewable polemics generated by the increase in the electricity bill and make the model public. Yes, I know that modern renewables are polluting, but be careful to turn them into useful fosilism fools. It is now the former lacationists who intend to delay the energy transition as much as possible. What is at stake is to change the model in the most planned way possible or to do it in a chaotic way.
Yes, the mantra of digitalization anywhere, but digitalization is “today’s bread and tomorrow’s hunger” (literally). Where do we extract so much copper, nickel or neodymium? The landlords of today are the ones who believe that the Earth is infinite within a few decades.
"We know that
the elites do not relinquish their privileges with sportiness, but in a Europe in which liberal consensuses are being overtaken, the evolution of the workers who represent motorhome freedom thousands of kilometres is yet to be seen"
Moreover, to those of us who live in Hego Euskal Herria, the war in Ukraine has shown us that Algeria is our main supplier of gas, but its gas reserves have decreased considerably. Perhaps in a few years' time we will be told that they have weapons of mass destruction... The worst thing is that the climate has disappeared from the new changes, as if it were not the other side of the energy coin. Furthermore, it seems that a hypothetical nuclear war has opened the door to the idea of killing millions of people. Why worry about climate change? Really, I'm flirting with the Borrell level ...
In the meantime, the disobedience actions of the scientists last week demanding measures from the institutions seemed as admirable as surrealists. Can you imagine that, I don't know, with COVID-19?
The transport strike has shown that our basic needs also depend on oil. The hakes of globalization, you know, and the diesel crisis is drawing our attention… what will the protests and rebellions of the future look like? Reality is too complex to analyze with traditional dichotomous schemes. They will forgive me, but I think the myth of the all-powerful Proletarian Revolution is to oversimplify things.
Before the shortage comes, we should put limits on products such as petrol. We know that the elites do not relinquish their privileges with sportiness, but in a Europe in which liberal consensuses are being overtaken from the right, the evolution of the workers who represent freedom in motorhome thousands of kilometres, or of many of the lefties we have “the need” to travel to the other end of the world, remains to be seen.
In short, how far are we prepared to tighten the rope?
If you have similar concerns, don’t miss this fall’s transformative ecologist days! ;-)

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
With the new year we are... [+]
Nafarroa Arenan Mitoaroa ikusten izandako lagun batek “telurikotzat” jo zuen entzun-ikusi-sentitutakoa. Niri ere hala iruditu zitzaidan telebista medio etxetik hauteman nuena.
Pentsa daiteke Mitoaroak piztutako grinak eta atxikimenduak proiektuaren ikusgarritasuna... [+]
It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.
Hala ere, lehentasunak ez dira kontu neutroak, eta historiak eta interes kontrajarriek aldatu izan... [+]
Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]
A couple of weeks ago, a number of data from Norway was published. In this country of Northern Europe electric cars have predominated, being the Tesla brand the most sold, with 90% of recyclable energy consumed there. On the contrary, Norwegian public enterprises have no problem... [+]

These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.
Already a month before the arrival of winter, the last days of the longest night,... [+]
Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
On Tuesday, the sentence was released against five young people from Lapurdi, convicted of belonging to Segi. Fifteen months in prison for reversal to two young people, with a fine of EUR 500 each; 140 hours of forced labour and EUR 500 fine to two other young people; and,... [+]
The other day, as I was walking through the famous television series The Wire, there came a scene that reminded me of despair. There, the management of the newspaper The Baltimore Sun brought together the workers and alerted them to the changes that are coming, i.e. redundancies... [+]
The consumerist culture we live in sends every user to an unreasonable enjoyment. As Slavoj Zize says, Enjoy your fetish, it has become the rude mandate of hypermodernity. Current enjoyment is carried out through existing technological devices to occupy the place of fetish. But... [+]
