Contemporary Agate Deuna
Like every year, on February 4 we will go out singing bertsos to remember the story of Agate Deuna. It has been more than 1,800 years since a man killed a young Italian woman, breastfed, who was unable to accept her refusal. It may be thought that since then we have had to make progress, but has the situation really changed or are we similar?
Some say that feminist male violence is an invention for men to take the role of a bad character in this story. However, the data does not match this obsolete idea: you only have to turn on television or radio, or access the Internet and take a look at social networks. The problem is obvious and saying that there is no such thing as nonsense.
It is not enough to strengthen the laws, but we also need to transform ourselves as a society so that they do not happen in the future, so that one day there is no more Santa Águeda
Today the problem is more obvious because women dare to denounce these bad situations. But in exchange for what? We all remember what happened in the Sanfermines a few years ago. This girl, besides being bullied, had to be attacked by several media outlets when her personal data was published. Really unacceptable!
Unfortunately, it is not necessary to focus on the past, as is the case every day. We are now discussing what has happened to a woman in a nightclub. A famous footballer seems to have attacked the girl in the local bathroom. The security cameras recorded the girl as she left the bathroom, sinking and crying. He has a medical report to strengthen his testimony. However, he refuses to receive compensation in order not to think that people have invented the event.
At least those women are still alive. But not everyone is lucky. How many women die each year? And every month? And every day? The figures are frightening.
With this information, the political powers should work continuously to find a solution to this serious problem as soon as possible. Last year, the “yes is” law was launched, which has lifted powders. In fact, this law has reduced the sentences of many men who were in jail.
It is clear that what governments are doing to curb this situation is not worth it. It is not enough to strengthen the laws, but we also need to transform ourselves as a society so that this does not happen in the future, so that one day there is no more Santa Águeda.

It happens many times to me: look at the news and get nervous. The France revient, they say. Both the France of Le Pen and the Spanish xenophobia and supremacy, as well as the inflatable clowns, rise again and again. Merde revient. As we have heard, a group of workers from... [+]

I have not followed the international competition for many years (Olympic Games, World Games…). Indifference, tiredness, pain… and I also get a little rage. And so the alternative I have left is not to see it.
