This inner thing
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of the interviews are now different. If we go back five years, everyone has followed their path (“no one’s,” says Katamalo).
I find it admirable when something bigger than the navel itself, something collective, leads to life.
I've looked around and I've ever thought that I should also have a hobby of my own that would arouse enthusiasm, mi-mine and not anybody else's. Be good at something, channel my concerns into crossfit or any other sport, into music, or maybe, scale into the world of work and choose to guide me through the aspiration to have every year a higher wage. A personal success as a life project. Everything would be easier, safer. A passion of one's own, not of anyone. But that goes further. It is a treasure that cannot steal from me the dystopian discourses of the world, the hegemony of individualism or the oratory of the no future. It's my treasure, but it's mostly from many others, it's collective. What political militancy has offered me has allowed me to understand the world and put my loops to make the way for a new one. They are not glasses to read the world or the Basque Country, as they dress and take off their glasses. Now, that's my eyes and my gaze, now there's nothing out of this vision and thank you. I find it admirable when something bigger than the navel itself, something collective, leads to life. I believe that the revolutionary exercise and commitment in witness to the most extreme manifestations of hostility, competitiveness and neoliberalism is to understand that one saves oneself by saving oneself by saving oneself. It makes me sad not to find in others something similar, this treasure is so great... Many consider me frikis, believing in something, dreaming and compromising a political and collective project that is not fashionable, does not generate hype. But we're not swimming against the current for the simple fact of swimming against the current, but to put the current in our favor.
Thanks to political militancy, thanks to the collective school that has led me to see a people when looking at my navel, thanks to the house that is mine and that I share with others. "We have made the decision. Now we are something you can't avoid," says Mikel Soto. And that's where I see myself, not elsewhere.

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... [+]
