Instructions to save the Basque Country


15 December 2022 - 10:30

The first and most important: to hold a meeting. The meeting is the only way forward. Birth, meetings, month. We are very "plural" in the meeting: it can be a formal, informal meeting, open call for assistance... quiet, if it is a concentration do not believe that there are hand-drawn banners, or that you have to run, or that the broken voice denounces you the next day. Save the Basque, but quiet.

The second: don't think too much about where to gather in the first place that has come to your mind. You probably agree that this is the most appropriate place for you and, incidentally, for most.

Third: Make sure there is plenty of parking at the meeting venue. The only thing you know about the meeting is that everyone goes in their car. The opposite cannot be negotiated. We are in favour of public transport, but we are in favour of public transport, not of our use.

Fourth: the hour issue is not an easy one, but "give it a couple of laps." If you work in the morning, the working hours will be those dedicated to the meeting and that guarantees you the public. On the contrary, if at sunset you have the opportunity to do a poteo or a dinner with your peers. Such decisions, intransitable Basque conflicts.

Fifth, have you not specified the subject? That is minimal! Thinking of a set of words for the title and the air, order of the day and minutes will be done by the scholarship or technician with the salary of the scholarship holder.

Sixth: To tighten up with invitations to the meeting, no one can participate in the meeting to save the Basque. Ensure that, if not all, the majority meet the following requirements: to be known by names and, if possible, by lineage, to be dunked or crazed and to be Gipuzkoan or Biscayan. Book writing, media collaborations or conferences will be valued as merit. The one with the most points accumulated in the section of hobbies in the case of a draw will be the one who gets the direct invitation to the meeting: the one who has orchard 10 points, the amateur of bertsolarism or mountaineer 8 points and the one who plays ball or mus 5 points.

Seventh: participants who have managed to dodge the sixth point, especially if they live in rent, are mavered, use the natural Basque batua or have a name and surname difficult to pronounce, will be automatically considered suspects. They should be combined in short chain. So, throw away, from time to time, some indirect reference or contempt that you do not understand, that you are in a trial period at the table of the Basque Savior.

Octave: Let the meeting start! It is forbidden to talk about money, even if it is the central issue. Although it is not a topic of conversation, we agree on something: the sosas will always be for the Basque, not for the Basques. The Basques who are implementing the decisions taken at the meeting, that is, the privileged Basques, well chosen to save the Basque, will spend the nights and days at the feast of subsidies in exchange for the conditions that condemn hope and unpaid emotion. On the contrary, for specialist services, it is better to address the Castilian speakers, even if their experience and wisdom are not cheap.

Ninth: the meeting is extended. It even lasts. Nobody's in a hurry, really. Around the table few skewers and randomly cooked. In the quotes you will see everything: myths, rhetorical questions, repetitions, exalting yourself or talking about the tip of the nuances, going towards an increasingly strategic vision... but you do not decide either deadlines or responsible, at least, for the supposed dialogues of the meeting. Yes, then, in the name of effectiveness, someone will ever do what they think is appropriate, because that's what they said at the meeting.

Tenth and final: Make a valuation dynamic with phosphorite Post-it, hanging the photos on the Twitter websites and half a dozen entities and congratulate each other to disseminate that among the attendees you hang "your ally" to save the Basque. Congratulations!

It is. What if by change we tried to save the Basque (or at least the Basques) from these meetings? We have to join forces, of course, the heart itself contracts, but it expands continuously in the same proportion as to keep us alive. You get the fear of excessive spread, but do we remember that it's indifferent that the mortal gets too sick? The arrhythmia of the Basque Country does not waste time, here is the defibrillator.

Appeal to Euskalgintza apolítica
