On 23 July last, the Pacifier has been strengthened for the success of the days of blockade announced throughout the continental Basque Country, and the militant forces that have generated grief and a desire to participate in this initiative have been regained. Despite the threat of the ban, hundreds of citizens have gone to the streets, roads, bridges and railways to demonstrate their intention to participate in vigorous action through civil disobedience. The following quote was set by Bakegileak on 22 September, the date of resolution of Jakes Esnal and Ion Parot's probation request. And he has emphasised aloud the willingness of these two prisoners to speed up action, that is, to raise a crescendo or a notch in the acts, if they do not have a positive bet. If this simulated situation of a kidnapping had an optimistic solution… it would be an important step in the resolution of the Basque conflict.
But the contempt shown by political leaders in the case of Jakes Esnal and Ion Parot is also evident in their tendency to other issues. However, the events of the beginning of this summer are demonstrating that, precisely in the face of this rejection, the most effective way for the citizen’s response is to go out into the street and show the determination of action by action.
The compensatory measure, recently voted by the College of Helmets, is one of them. This measure has been adopted to hinder the expansion of tourist homes rented as permanent tourist blads on platforms such as Airbnb. Despite the second vote by the College of Helmets, the measure has obtained a greater number of votes from the electorate. Although it is only a stone in the face of the housing crisis in the Northern Basque Country, it is also a lump and it is an achievement that can be presumed as a citizen. Thanks to the mobilization, a first exit has been given to the brutal speculation that the house experiences, raising the claim month by month with a bite. The issue of housing, however, we all know that it will not only be solved by the compensation measure, but that mobilisation and action will still need to be addressed in order to achieve sound solutions. The Bizi – Se loger au pays platform has already given an appointment in the municipality on April 1, 2023.
But this beginning of the summer has also left dark: fires, terrible hot flashes never known to Euskal Herria, droughts. According to experts, all these climate phenomena that we are experiencing today are going to increase in the coming years. This situation, which is not common today, will therefore become the norm in the coming years. Experts say that we are still in time to take steps to ensure that these terrible effects of climate change do not become the suffering of our tomorrow. In the climate camp, recently organized by Alda and Bizi, the climatologist Christophe Cassou and one of the main authors of the IPCC 6.txostenaren were present. He spoke long and hard about the report and the content of the international structure. Among these words that would deserve to be broadcasters throughout the Basque Country, he stressed the need to achieve carbon neutrality. The authorities to achieve neutrality in carbon discharges once again show disillusionment and indifference. To combat it, everyone can look for carbon neutrality in their daily lives, even if that is minimal. But this issue would also deserve to be reduced by the transformation of citizenship. The lack of daily measures that immerse our world in darkness does not make us enter into depression, perhaps in order to demand political change we need to immerse ourselves in a hard popular initiative on the path of disobedience.
Iratxeren Bidasoaldeko Lagunak ekimenak deituta, dozenaka lagun kalera atera ziren atzo Iratxe Sorzabal preso politiko irundarraren absoluzioa eskatzeko eta behingoz etxera ekartzeko, torturak salatzeaz gain.
Sare Herritarrak antolatuta, pasa den urtarrilaren 11n Bilboko kaleak bete zituen manifestazio jendetsuaren ondoren, berriz sortu da eztabaida, euskal presoei salbuespen legeriarik aplikatzen ote zaion. Gure iritzia azaltzen saiatuko gara.
