Nobody's driving? In Hego Euskal Herria, at least, it seems that the emptying of the Basque souffle does not stop at all.
What today’s children and adolescents see in Basque society is a great assimilation and little contradiction. They don't invent anything from scratch, they perceive and adapt society. And things have changed.
• The use of Euskera decreases in the so-called respiratory areas (also). Children and adolescents in the area (also) go to Spanish before ever. In fact, ETB3 is left by the time it is 4-5 years old, Goazen at 10 years old, and the vast majority consume the rest in Spanish.
• Independence among adults is at the lowest percentages in history. And more serious is that at the level of Euskal Herria it is very weak to weave, culture, economy, relationships, feelings… In sport, for example, the wager on Basque selections has been reduced considerably, and when Basque selections have been replaced by those of the CAV it has been considered a national victory. In any case, in view of this panorama, the children and adolescents of Hego Euskal Herria naturally prefer that Spain win, and even encourage in some cases vehemently. Many parents in the area are drowning our stormy houses, thinking about what we should suffer if it were not for Morocco.
• The other day I told some kids from the Bertsos school that instead of seeing youtubers, they would make youtubers -- in Basque. They looked at me like I was a missionary priest. The goal of a youtuber is to have a lot of followers and visits, therefore, in Basque? So I told them that I would be the fool of the world because as a child I didn't know Euskera and decided not to do my little things in Spanish but in Basque. They didn't dare to respond, but I heard.
In that early ETB, I had never understood Euskera before, I saw cartoons in Euskera, if I was bored with Spanish programming. Later, in the 1990s, many of us did not know Euskera wanted to learn and use Euskera: thus, we saw Goenkale and several films and series folded to Euskera... Meanwhile, the Spanish parties were still in Hala Bedi through UHT, as were the weddings of the infant and the Spanish prince, to do a little laughter in case of flooding.
At a time when everything is fluid and post, there is something solid and palpable: Spain!

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]

We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
