(G)summer
Dear readers, I would like to begin with an exclusive article of opinion: Summer comes! Yes, yes, the holiday season, parties and barbecues of friends. Tour de France, Sanfermines, children's colonies... I will start with an exclusive one and continue with a recognition: my initial goal was not to write a light chronicle about the dynamics of the times. I wanted to write something more complex. Daring. More spicy. It was based on the electoral climate and the reflections inspired by the boiling debates. But in the end I have not been wrong.
"My struggle is the only way." In these times when our battlefields are polarized and it is increasingly difficult to mobilize people, the initial draft aimed to question our priorities. Building bridges between sectors? Or win the hegemony of each strategy? Institutional pathway or popular movement? Mountain fires for prisoners and refugees or Artisans of Peace? Homeland of Bagira* or Herribiltza? Unifying manifestation or occupation to live in the people?... But, as I said, I have not managed to get the ideas clear enough, and I have not lied to pose those questions.
Institutional pathway or popular movement? Mountain fires for prisoners and refugees or Artisans of Peace? Unifying manifestation or occupation to live in the people?
I have not lied, because I do not engage in social media and, therefore, I have many debates about our microcosm. And I'm sure somebody has already written it somewhere and at some point much better than me about those doubts that I feel inside. It is not something new and having debates is healthy, it is as healthy as disagreements and conflicts. But lately it gives me the feeling that we're spending a lot of energy to see why we don't agree with our neighbor, when there are so many reasons to go out in the street.
They're going to forgive me if I stick to a bad metaphor, but I think not all the arrollations should always come together in the same basket. I'm fond of rice crutches and we use a lot of eggs to make tortillas in the Basque Country. But the ferrerías also serve to make pintxos, carts and cocktails Pisco Sour. Let's retain them. They are not contradictory, but complementary!
Meanwhile, greet you with a phrase from the late Claude Harlouchet: "The best way to liberate Euskal Herria is to start building." We see ourselves in HD, because in the last quarter of a century the Basque Country is built more just, more Basque, more feminist and more free.

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,... [+]
