Many times we hear about parentheses when in Pandemia we were shut down in our properties. A parenthesis in our life, and then we'd go on with our lives. But time can't stop, it doesn't understand too much spelling, and what happens in brackets can condition your entire life. And we've also taken jail as a parenthesis.

In recent years we have had work that has brought us closer to the life of the prison, to see if those of us who have lived on the other side of the glass once realized the interior. But a number of ex-prisoners are being held in a mere headline. Little noise, perhaps a reflection of disability. Some passages haven't happened that much, because we're talking about biographical deadlines, and in our biographies we spread a lot of stuff. We trivialize the murder of simple people, torture and imprisonment. “How many years have you spent in jail?” and if the answer was three years, we came to think, “well, it’s not so much.” You may have to relax in some way. Imagine. How might it not be so much? Three years in prison is or can be forever.

And how can I not understand those who want to know what happened to the relatives who murdered them. But wouldn't we take more reassurance from the stories needed to close the wounds without the threat of jail? How does it help to keep tearing up bits of life? It's so cruel to make people believe that we have to play so that we don't separate. They're not parentheses that open up by our side, it's a psychopathic machinery that destroys incarcerated and nearby people. Let us not separate practices that reduce lives. Let us not: never.

More human rights and less extreme right

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]


Popuerza

On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]

Full round

In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

On Angel!

It was impossible to guess who was or who was the motto I read, but who was!

Ángel González Olvera was known in Mexico 11 years ago when the bertsolaris invited us to a few days with their improvisers. He lived on a high hill, feeding on birds, pigeons, pigeons, hedgehogs,... [+]


Hezitopia awaits us

The Utopians of the book Utopia of Thomas Moro loved to read it. The good education of the letters had led them to start in childhood and to continue their adult life without anyone ordering anything, reading and learning and reading more. Imagine the time devoted to it for the... [+]


The myth of the free market

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

Hysterical materialism
Catch

The third time I received the same data as the student, I remembered nothing more than those widely used phrases, in which nothing had crushed my intelligence. “We are nothing,” “life makes no sense,” “God, if he is as innocent as they say, why does this do us?” It... [+]

“I have withdrawn the rape complaint”

That was said to me by the former student, who took a long time to file a complaint that was in court months and who, on the recommendation of the psychologist, had withdrawn the complaint of rape. And I kept quiet, unable to guess what to tell the young man that he still had... [+]


What do the words 'look', 'understand' and 'person' mean?

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]


Newspapers of genocide

They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
