OK, let's talk about migration.
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.

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,... [+]
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... [+]
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.
In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]
It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]
In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]
They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]
Uwa, kamsá, tukuná, uitoto, tikun, embera, nasa/yuwe, nuka, sikuani, siano, macuna, yuruti, kichwa, achagua, bora, truncar. These are some of the languages spoken in Colombia. Unfortunately, when I lived in Colombia, in Cundinamarca, I did not have the opportunity to learn our... [+]
At the beginning of the course, the elections should be the main event on the UPV/EHU information agenda. At the School of Social Sciences and Communication, we also have a double appointment, as the assembly of our center will also be elected in October. It opens up the... [+]
I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]
Aware of the importance of ideology in political behaviour, we Basques must pay particular attention to the issue of our ideology, since within the framework of a concrete ideological location it is always decided what to do, what not to do, how, with whom, against whom, etc... [+]
It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.
I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
