In memory of Josu Unanue.
We finish the fall, we are already in the winter. We have lived intensively in recent months in Euskal Herria in general, and in Busturialdea we have also noticed its reflection.
The street, reflecting many expressions, has been bordered to respond to various demands and problems: On the eve of the last Monday of October, Gernika mobilized 4,500 people at the demonstration called by the Stop Guggenheim Urdaibai platform.
On November 30, we organized the first general feminist strike in history in our country, putting the issue of care on the agenda and establishing an irreversible basis for a community public system. Faced with the attacks, quite clearly, in school, in sport, on the street and anywhere, we do believe, and we are angry that we do not accept complicity, we have recently mobilised 3,000 people on the streets of Gernika-Lumo.
We told the Palestinian people that we have always been and will be with him: we activate the mermaid against genocide and we ignite global consciences from the Paseo (from the Market Square in April 1937), with a strong image of solidarity. From Gernika to Palestine, from oak to olive: Long live by liberating Palestine!
With responsibility, with a collaborative vocation, with many popular sectors, we have been there, working.
Well, it wasn't the only news. The photo of this living region is in collision with the prefabricated postcard of the private elite and the partisan interest, which has been present in the media, especially in the mouth of all: They want us to implant a new Guggenheim in the biosphere of Urdaibai.
The picture of this living region is in collision with the prefabricated postcard of the private elite and partisan interest.
But the most serious thing is to mortgage the socio-economic development of the biosphere and change the coastal standard against everyone, reducing to 20 meters of the 100 meters protection zone. The most worrying thing is that the intention to put the interests of a private entity that represents the neoliberal model that we work and live in here has been clearly explained and that public money is intended to do so. The most disturbing thing is to feel above the protected ecosystem and condemn today’s young people to precariousness and the inability to access housing. It is a great irresponsibility to try to deceive the citizens of Busturialdea through a marketing campaign. No.
We will present the battle, of course. We do not want the Guggenheim Urdaibai, either in Sukarrieta at the time, or in Murueta and Gernika-Lumo now. And to win that battle, we have to take advantage of institutions, streets, workshops, schools, courts. In this regard, we support the crowdfunding campaign that the Stop Guggenheim Urdaibai platform has opened up to pay the courts and we encourage the citizens to make their financial contribution to the extent that they can.
There are resources to build a plan that addresses the real structural problems of Busturialdea and responds to the challenges of the region, and it is up to us to put at your service all the knowledge and tools we have. We must focus on the determination to acquire rights through the struggle and defend our own.
And let us insist that in Busturialdea we are the majority who opt for a model of region in which work is dignified, free life, public-community protection, strengthening Basque culture and balances with nature.
In that challenge we will be on the road.

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... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]
The new Education Act adopted by the CAV against most public school officials aims to ensure that concerted education is free of charge through the financing of public authorities. The Spanish State has also announced a significant increase in public... [+]
On November 15, we will celebrate in Errenteria-Orereta the three days organized by the different agents that make up Euskal Herria Digitala. This is a feminist digital self-defense workshop and a talk about democratic digitalisation.

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]
