In the care village life is more possible
Our towns and cities do not take care of us. We lack land, green areas, community spaces. Our people are designed to serve the capital. In the care village, however, life is the center.
Before, there was a main street, a gigantic street that crossed the city. Consumption and production were in the middle, with a frenetic rhythm, and life in the slits, in the corners. Colonized life, expelled, absorbed until drying. Become a showcase for tourists.
But under the cement we find the earth. In some places, the marshes were restored, in others the living forests, as well as the grasslands. Birds approach wetlands, there are insects everywhere, beech, oak, strawberry. They make their way.
This coincided with the shrinking size of the city, when the restoration of biodiversity became a priority. In the village of the guard, the place there is spread among living beings. It's a climate refuge. The truth is, we don't need anything else. We have understood that we are not owners of sites, that we only need a refuge and a quiet and safe corner to look at the world.
Our towns and cities do not take care of us. We lack land, green areas, community spaces. Our people are designed to serve the capital.
There are a lot of urban orchards on the sides of the houses, on the stairs, on the rooftops, which happened when food sovereignty became a priority. There are also plants and grass on the walls. We can breathe deeply because the spread of modes of production is no longer an opportunity.
Now, in the care village, life is more possible. It's tailor-made for pedestrians. Most of us have a bicycle and there are routes to move anywhere on foot or in a wheelchair. We have markets within fifteen minutes. I go there every day. After the exchanges, most of us eat there. I'm going to the general assembly, the wood is deteriorating in the market stands, and I'm going to propose that it be fixed.
Then I'll use the block washer, Garazi and I stayed to put her daughter's clothes on my week's collar. I live with three other friends and with Garazi's daughter. It's hard to get the crop right sometimes, but we managed. Now I remember, the last time it was up to the neighbor to clean up the common spaces, that means this week it's up to me. I'll have to fix myself. It is not bad that work outside the home is limited.
Also, soon it will take me a year’s rest, and I will have time to explore new places, and then tell stories to Garazi’s daughter.
The feminist movement has organized for November 30 in Bilbao the People of Custody. Are you going to start building how our peoples are going to be?

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]
We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]
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... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.
The reading of the documentation... [+]
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.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
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.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
“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... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
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... [+]
