From now on
We have entered, we have been incorporated into the new academic and political course. And what do the Basques have to do from now on?
Catalonia is once again the centre of interest. To summarize in a way, with the aim of independence, since that popular referendum held in 2017 against the perverse waves of wind, and since it happened afterwards, we have also seen different and sometimes contradictions in the independence movement.
Now, taking stock, it seems that the Puigdemont line succeeds in this competition and that the Junqueras strategy has been a failure for the ERC, although at the time it wins the elections and retains for itself the presidency and the government of the Generalitat.
Why? A supposed progressive strategy of breaking support and negotiation with the Spanish government has left those of CKD in practice under their dominion and their hands tied.
On the contrary, the Puigdemont strategy, despite being aware of critical moments, has advanced in the confrontation declared with the Spanish State and its political centrality outside the State, in Europe, has not been merely symbolic. On the contrary, it has managed to get rid of the claws of the Spanish State and, incidentally, questioned this State before several nations within the European Union: Finland, Germany, Flanders and the Belgian State itself, Scotland and the United Kingdom, Sardinia and the Italian State…
Urkullu himself and his governments have long been in decline, and the invention of the last moment, in the style of the constitutional convention, is not going to come out of the sinking.
And now, thanks to this, it shows a very different position of strength before the Spanish State, in the process of forming a new government that is very evident to him. It remains to be seen how far that firm stand will go. In addition, it asks him to maintain this mobilized popular movement that wants to resume his path towards independence in Catalonia and, above all, organized around Diada and ANC.
That is why we have to learn the Basques. In Hego Euskal Herria, from the governments of Urkullu and Txibite we cannot make a positive balance. The ten long years of Urkullu in the presidency have not been a breakthrough in self-government, and there has been an evident impairment in social management, in the basic public sectors; today it maintains open crises both in the linguistic policy for the Basque Country and in the EITB, in the health system, in education, in the residential sector, in the infrastructures, in the Ertzaintza, in the inventions. In the case of Txibite, a revamped, too cheap controller keeps all the evils of the previous legislature, including painful discrimination against the Basque.
At a time when he reminded us of Lizarra Garazi, both PNV and EH Bildu are the main Basque parties that have something to analyse and correct for the future. Above all, however, we need strong public institutions throughout the Basque Country, in their respective areas, which are driving the strong Basque internationalisation on a daily basis. Dozens of public institutions are sending the Urkullu Government and EITB the Aldatu Script these days, quite rightly. We must also ask the nationalist parties to change the script. Looking forward, do not go back. Progress in Basque internationalization.

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
