How can we think that the solution to our problems can be?
And in that sense, how can Basque politicians want to be in the Spanish Congress? Or what is more worrying, how is it possible that they continue to have the vote, credibility and confidence of the Basque citizenship? What am I going to tell you, I am not convinced. Shame neighborhood.
Of course, I am referring to independence, to our State’s national recovery strategy, to sovereignty, that was our problem, right? Eliminate the occupation of Spaniards (and French), oppression, etc., I do not know if you remember, because they have become ideas that are not even expert. This sadness.
Still. When they have done everything, a thousand times, of course, over the centuries, but also over the last 50 years, after the change of dictatorship and the intrigue of democracy, what has the Basque People received in exchange for swallowing the hook and participating in it? Have we not yet learned that there is no way there? Well, yes, there is, but there is assimilation, integration, loss of our principles, disintegration. End.
We give a sorry spectacle. Repeatedly disturbed by the injustices that Spain makes us, still surprisingly surprised, as if more could be expected of them, but a perverse patisation with the Spanish forces. It is already unbearable to me that recurrent and naïve victimization of the people that becomes such a rare offer of collaboration. Annoying.
For each of your votes legitimises the imperialist regime of occupation, thus giving a democratic recognition that we should never do
Someone will come by saying that there are other things in the game, and that is why, even if only, you have to participate in the votes to the Spanish Congress. Well, all right, let those who believe they are going go, but then let them not come crying with the usual midwife, who are very bad, who have not complied with what has been agreed, who have made our urine in our eye, and that blah blah. And you know why? Because each of your votes legitimises the imperialist regime of occupation, thus giving democratic recognition that we should never do. Tori, here you go, gift.
In pursuit of this objective, Spain invites us to those general elections that would only need for the Spaniards. Because our participation supposes the legitimacy of the occupied subaltern people and revolutionizes the nature of the public image that comes from our relationship: from domination to communion. From the international conflict between a dominant and dominated State to a purely national question. From having the status of occupied State to becoming a weak nation that is Spanish but wants to stop being Spanish. Even the Spaniards would not imagine such a round play, to be able to justify its character at such a cheap price.
Because I am not Spanish, I am not going to take part in the votes to the Spanish Congress, it is, it is simple. In exchange for the supposed privilege of being able to choose the next imperialist who manages domination over us, which is obviously a truffle, because I would be giving my oppressor the label of democracy, and because that would mean giving up our first principles directly.
Abstention and boycott are the natural gestures that, in the face of occupation, should spontaneously leave the dominated peoples; that of resistance, dignity, the right ideological position, and the essential starting point for a national strategy. Let's see.

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
