The roots of democracy


23 September 2020 - 13:00
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Tactic is not an income, because it becomes a simple game. An empty theater play that looked like a change. Nothing changes and those of always continue to govern as always. What can we do then?We cannot fail to go back to the roots of democracy.

These democratic systems create terrible, horrifying ghosts every day. But even though the spectre of the frightening is made clear to us in the eyes of all, they do not give rise to change: from the extreme corruption of the Bourbon monarchy to the criminal prison policy, to the perversity of the high courts and State police chiefs or the betrayal of the government party leadership, to the inability and bad faith of the rulers of the time of the pandemic or the crisis.

It's not something that happens to neighbors, no, the problem is that of the house. Recently two well-known strategists of the Abertzale left complained, in their press article, that there is nothing to do with the current PNV, despite repeatedly trying alliances and agreements with them.

"Better the PSOE in the government than the PP", "better these Spanish budgets than those of others", "better this monarchy than nothing else"... and at the end it is prioritized to act tactically in the central politics, assuming its limits.

by mutual agreement, always be retrotraen.Merece worth analyzing some of the arguments offered in this article and reaching the conclusions. It is explained that in Euskal Herria we have sufficient political and social forces to take firm steps on the road to national freedom and social improvement, and there is talk of a strong movement in favour of the right to decide, of the leadership of the Abertzale syndicalism, of a broad feminist movement, of popular initiatives in favor of the Basque Country and of the impulse of environmentalism.

However, whenever all these forces have been agreed and attempts have been made to establish structures in favour of one's own State, the PNV's turn office has always reacted, and to this end there are cases of agreements in Txiberta, Lizarra-Garazi and Llotja de Mar. When explaining why, the writers believe that the PNV has seen its own particular hegemony in jeopardy and has always preferred to tie its party and the institution and business it considers “its”, maintaining for it the national self-same, rather than advancing the national construction and sovereignty.

The examination is correct, but it may be possible to go further and take into account the following: What is being done in this path of the PNV is precisely to underline the absolute supremacy of the tactic: what can be achieved with this government or Spanish party more than with the other; how can we take a step towards this or the other, but without questioning the main pillars of that State, even collaborating in the support of those pillars. “Better the PSOE in the government than the PP”, “better these Spanish budgets than those of others”, “better this monarchy than nothing else”… and at the end it is prioritized to act in a tactical way in the central politics, assuming its limits.

This is not, for example, the path chosen by the clearest Catalan independentists. They rightly address the roots of democracy and try to turn what is an indisputable right, independence, into laws, by agreeing on a strategy. Perhaps we should also look more at Catalonia than at Madrid.

It is not an easy task to define what the new US mandate will bring in the economic sphere. The axis of the new economic strategy will be the peculiar union between liberalism and protectionism for the external sector. Despite what has happened in the United States on a regular... [+]

Because to receive is to give

The evolution that the Internet has taken over the last 15 years, together with its technological and business model, makes us think that it is a tool to increase the worst aspects of humanity. Around the world, agents have been created that are not satisfied with this idea... [+]

I want with you

In recent years, I have made little progress. I have said it many times, I know, but just in case. Today I attended a bertsos session. “I wish you a lot.” Yes, that is why I have warned that I leave little, I assume that you are attending many cultural events, and that you... [+]

I remember them.

In 2006, Baltasar Garzón, then star judge, suffered a kind of revelation and drafted a practice that guaranteed the rights of those detained for terrorism. The same judge saw hundreds of incommunicado detainees pass through his room, many with obvious signs of ill-treatment,... [+]

From perseverance

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

It is said that Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have complicit in the lines of the oppressed. It seems very normal to me... What do you want? When you're down, it's also understandable that you want to improve your condition, and... [+]

Fog

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... [+]


To live in Basque, the Republic of Euskera

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... [+]
