Global gap 2030
The 2030 World Cup will be played in six countries. Most matches will be played in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, but the opening matches will take place in Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. More teams than ever before, more matches than ever and the longest World Championship ever, about 40 days of competition. Everything seems to indicate that no World Cup has so far generated economic benefits. However, the 2030 World Cup aims to break all dimensions of sports shows. Meanwhile, the consequences of climate change and the need to turn towards a new economic model that does not need sustained growth are becoming increasingly apparent, which must turn its back on the myth of continued growth and redefine the sense of borders.
Is this gigantic World Cup in 2030 compatible with strategies to break the effects of climate change? The centenary of the first World Cup in Uruguay, 1930, will be celebrated in 2030. Was it not enough to celebrate the centenary? The institutional messages that institutions transmit to society are not only those that are disseminated through institutional campaigns, but are reflected in the policies and projects they promote on a daily basis, as well as in the nature of the indices used to measure the welfare of society (GDP, for example, includes activities that harm throughout the plundering of nature, i.e. does not foresee future adverse effects, shortages). It is up to the Administration in the future direction, in the vanguard, the existence of the former and not to promote the paradigms they will need from the past.

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.

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... [+]
Why concerted teaching?
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,... [+]
In recent decades I have worked in the Basque field, both in the Euskaldunization of adults in AEK, and in the defence of linguistic rights in the Observatory, or in favour of the normalization of the Basque country in the Council of Euskalgintza. Everywhere I have heard... [+]
As we know, the Institutional Independence of Hego Euskal Herria has begun a certain roadmap. Signing a new pact with the Spanish State. This path uses some main variables or premises. Thus: The PSOE is a leftist party, the Spanish State is recyclable and it is up to the... [+]
