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?

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]
"(The purpose of the Oion Plenary) is clear, to legitimize by law the energy megaprojects with significant irregularities in the processing"
Last Wednesday we had a hard and unpleasant day, not only for Labraza, but also for all the towns where we are threatened by a wind,... [+]
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... [+]
