Criminal rights


23 October 2020 - 10:11

They are two albums by Anari ‘Your Criminal Record’ and ‘Manipulative Strategies’. Chanting each other, in this essay I suggest that rights are not manipulative strategies with criminal records to return the space that corresponds to their needs.

The sword and the right go hand in hand. One of them brought the other. The kingdom of Castile was forming an empire that would be Spain, five hundred years old. Conquering America and Navarre (another part of Navarre), subjecting citizens of origin.

Apparently, within the Empire there was someone who did not have a quiet conscience and felt guilty of it. The Dominican friar Francisco de Vitoria, of the University of Salamanca, among others. The Christian morality should bite him when he knew that the slaves were tied to the wives as if they were animals. With his reflections he questioned the legitimacy of the actions of the Spaniards in America. It laid the foundations of current international law and the UN acknowledges this by naming the Conference Room in Geneva.

The law deals with rights. Are they not heirs to wives who then pointed to slavery today's rights? Does not the claim for the rights of today's stripped powers point to it? Do they not express both the right and the right of the hand, the same concept, dependence? Isn't it the second polished version of the modern era of the first? What is desirable?

"When we are unable to meet our needs or do not want to take responsibility, we claim our rights. It seemed to me that we were looking at the streets, the media and social media."

When we are unable to meet our needs or do not want to take responsibility, we claim rights. It seemed to me that this is how we walked through the streets, the media and social networks: expressions of concentration, manifestation, communication, appearance, sticker, painting, petition, demand -- in a fine shout. Legitimate and dependable.

The lack of power leads us to lower our demands for rights. We will hardly see the powerful in the cry of rights. Because it has the power to achieve what is recognized by the right, because it is able to meet its needs by itself. Rights are therefore a matter for the non-powerful. I believe that this is a bleaching concept invented by the piety that produces the feeling of guilt of the Catholic dominators. Manipulation strategies that have a criminal record and therefore serve to subordinate themselves.

The fact is that the Spaniards were conquering America and Navarra 1512.aren. The suffering of the other continents stirred up the conscience of Vitoria. I do not know if I would know that, being the Basque parents, their brothers, conquered by Fernando the Catholic on the peninsula, they had their own Constitution derived from the subordinate habits of coexistence of the citizens. A century of freedom. What was collected in writing from the oral tradition in the General Jurisdiction 1238.ean. The representatives of the Navarre state, when they chose the king, obliged him to swear to the Outlaws that, more than his superior, declared him at the head of the defense of coexistence by the Fuero.

He told me, reading in full the General Court, that he was struck that the word ‘right’ never appeared. The Fuero is pragmatic: rather than recognizing the right, it determines how to meet the need for citizenship, often using community resources. In other words, to satisfy our hunger, rather than the recognition of the right to eat, we need land to get food. And so I guaranteed it.

In order to meet our needs, we need structures that are tailored and organized in our own way, not dependent. Rights cover the need for dignified survival. Needless to say, we are talking about rights. Claiming rights without need. To whom? Just as the Vatican will not give us spiritual freedom, the UN will not give us political freedom. Because they're institutions that protect their status and they don't want anybody else beyond that.

If we liberate ourselves, we need faith in our power. We have to feel it ourselves. We have to be aware of what we have colonized to guide actions with meaning towards meeting needs. But to realize, first, and after accepting it, that we are colonized. We will be free when we are aware of our house, occupied by its power. Leave behind the centuries of dependency and meet the needs and desires of our community. To survive.

The roots of clemency praised by Catholicism lie in guilt for the abuse of power. The conquests of America go hand in hand with the disastrous influence on the reflection of Salamanca, and again to America, recognizing the rights of the UN. From the Empire to the legitimation of empires. Isn't the confession as cheap as offering the sky? Does it not avoid - beyond protest - action? The horizon of rights seems more like a utopia than a reality: “What would be OK.”

The need, however, we have it on the ground, at home, in the body, in the head: the occupied is not too little, and we also have it fragmented. Before we knock at the door of the United Nations, we have to regain the organization of our United Nation: Who it was. I felt sorry more than anyone, with our own hands. Being us.

Impossible. The fuel of doing, the enthusiasm. A stimulus to the mind, which comes from the senses. With meaning, with desire and with constancy. Everyone lives.

What do the words 'look', 'understand' and 'person' mean?

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]


Newspapers of genocide

They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]

I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.

The other side of October 12: reflections of resistance

It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]


When we woke up on February 8, 2024, you were hugging the dinosaur.
There are people who "embrace" capitalism without realizing that the problem is in the same system; in the constant search for growth on a limited planet. All forms of intensive energy production are being swallowed up in the world.

Small peoples with life!

In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]

Digitalisation scrap

Gordophobia

Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]

Pakito Arriaran and Korta

I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]

It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.

I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
