On Angel!
It was impossible to guess who was or who was the motto I read, but who was!
Ángel González Olvera was known in Mexico 11 years ago when the bertsolaris invited us to a few days with their improvisers. He lived on a high hill, feeding on birds, pigeons, pigeons, hedgehogs, foxes, wild boars... A delicate trove, humble and hardworking, who sang to the peasants and the pastors in verse of their own feelings and experiences, a life of sun and storms, of howls and moss. It is not known how many topazos he made (two quarters each, two violins and two guitars usually, while the fans danced at the rhythm of music) until dawn, with the most prestigious trovators of the time. Leonila Oviedo lived in a community known as Palomas (Region of Xichú), where he had a relationship with his children. It is what is known as “El Arribeño de Huapango”, in the massif of Xichú, especially in the center of Querétaro and Potosi, is what the troberos do, and he, who naturally united mountaineering and huapango. The father sent the animals to graze and one day, ignoring the orders, went to school for three hours and learned the vowels. The rest, not least, at the university of life.
The father ordered the animals to graze and one day, without hearing the orders, went to school for three hours and learned the vowels.
As it was, humble, genuine and natural. He sang to the Mexicans who went to the United States: Yes, you're going to look for greatness, you're going to win gold, you're going to know if you're coming back. There they will welcome you with open hands, who will cultivate the land? Who would sow beans, corn? If you eat what the land has given you, you need the Mexicans!
At a conference he told us about his adventures, which in many cases went eighty-six kilometers a day, with a guitar his father had bought at the age of 19. His eyes were clouded when he remembered that time and that situation. As she told us, they were coming back from a brinco down the roads of the mountains, avid and thirsty, and they asked a housewife if she had anything to eat on a farm, and after eating something, they started singing to thank her. Before I could realize it, the woman cried and, wanting to know the reason for her tears, when she approached, she said to her: "Here you see what and how we live, and every week I go with vegetables at the fair with which I can get some money and buy what I need at home. I went and I come with the donkey, but he died last month and when you started singing you reminded me of the donkey fishing. He knew how to laugh at himself!

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]
Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
