The debate has brought a long line. Not only in writings, but also in companions and remittances. Sometimes flammable. And it's no less. Right. We have to talk about this.
Migration will only increase in the coming years. The system, engulfed in its multiple crises and contradictions, is becoming a savage wounded and will make its bite more demanding.
Migration is the most painful phenomenon in the countries and societies of origin. “Nobody leaves their house without turning it into a mouth shark,” says the Somali poet Warsan Shire. It reminds me, “It is hard to leave your land of origin who has its roots.”
The causes must be resolved. Of course. But that, for example, is nothing more than a pretension, because we are talking about stopping all the machinery of capitalism. And as we get Heracles' job, what? Close doors? OK. But without hypocrisy. We will completely close, for raw materials, food, fertilizers and energy, as well as for the tonnes of waste we export. Cold and hunger in a short time would be dead all over Europe, drowned in cocoa.

We are not the ones who move the strings of this machinery, but we profit from the spur there. The computer or mobile with which you are reading this article, which I am writing, is a witness to its coltan, tantalum, tungsten, etc. We fashion “healthy superfoods” in the Global North and then throw people out of their lands. Not to mention the clothes we wear. And no, it's not about taking the silver out of the mesanocho, but we are also part of that machinery.
“Just what we have here” will tell me more than one. It's possible. Let us therefore consider what measures can be taken here to achieve better conditions, all.
Migration is used to reduce working conditions. OK. The way to avoid this is not, among other things, to guarantee all the rights of all these people so that they are not obliged to accept any work in any situation? So that they do not have the sword of Damocles on their heads for being in an irregular situation?
We work more and more hours and the gap with the rich is widening. One of the keys is the distribution of work (and wealth). Old, but fundamental. For all of us to work, for us to leave capitalism without reserve weapons and, furthermore, for us to be enlightened less hours. Everybody.
On the other hand, comparing the national struggle with those who have come from other countries is a false and interested choice as “good doctor or euskaldun”. I'm sure in cities there are more problems with conformation, but I look around and I know my neighbors, friends, colleagues, family. Compatriots who know me, in two words. We are united. Don't say everyone is the Other.
The influence of migration in our country is an unquestionable reality. The question is how we characterize this phenomenon that will not be interrupted. If we see these compatriots as a danger, we will point them out as guilty, but if we see migration as a difficulty, we should bear the responsibility of facing that difficulty on our shoulders.
The first is the simplest route and feeds sociological fascism. It prepares on the table two of its main tools: the separation between “us” and “them” between the oppressed and the conversion of the victims into executioners.

In February 2023, I read the news in the press and I was depressed because it surprised me and gave me what to think. The store of Jostaldi Kirolak Erdikale Street in Azpeitia will be closed to the public after 48 years of running.

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]
The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:
They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]
As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]
