I should give up writing this column, but it's late. Elections have been held in France. Where is France? Yes, up here in the north; but in the world I don't know where France is now, what it is. And I don't know when I look at him almost exclusively in fear.
I know almost nothing about French politics. I am one of those Basques of Gipuzkoa who know in more detail Spanish politics than their own, and the old generalities of French politics, as well as that of our North. I could make a self-criticism to criticize that ignorance.
Or focus on what this time they gave to the issue: if nationalist Peio Dufau would be a member (yes) within the NFP; if the Fn, the extreme right, would win the election. Unfortunately, the NFP has won and I do not know how to say anything.
I can insist on the extreme right, which has not won, but which has won, and which is a global boom. I can get back apocalyptic. Bad luck has meant that in the United Kingdom the results are not the same as in the rest of the world. It doesn't match generality. But even if it seems, what, I don’t see a clear diagnosis, I don’t see it either, I think one a month, and I get very angry with many explanations, and yes to so many, but then, well, but… and what I know, I also forget. I do not dare to have an opinion, perhaps, which is why I have so many. Sometimes I think we should not have more on the subject at a time, which seems traumatised, that we do not draw the right conclusions.
To say something, it seems that the French are as afraid as I am of a part of their country, and that fear has been profitable in the seats (and, therefore, especially in the non-seats). I have recalled that phrase from Gravois (paraphrasing Borges) that I had previously mentioned “if it is not love, let it be dreadful”, which did not work, and perhaps it was the bravery of the Argentinians that brought Milei, and the fear of the French has taken the government away from Le Pen. Perhaps that is what we have to guess, what we have to do at every moment, courage or fear. We stubborn in overcoming fears, in scaring, in not listening. The fears of life should not be uprooted until it is proven that they are not right. And there may be a shared fear to get enough reasons together. Until we know that there are solutions, that fear saves us (each other).

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
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.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
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... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
