So let us not offer them that pleasure.
- Under the motto “Spain Exists”, the extreme right party VOX has been present in several capitals of Euskal Herria in recent days. In this sense, there have been many people who have come to the streets to respond and have launched their demands and/or disagreements.
It is not easy to find the right answer to such a situation or, rather, the closest answer to equity. But yes, there is something that unites us all vasco-speakers: the need for a coherent and strategic response to these actions.
This need, on many occasions, leads us to acts thought of with heat and to involuntary ignorance that, in the end, mix pain and rage in our widespread wounds.
In addition to thinking that VOX’s voice on social media has been excessive, the answer on the streets has
not been the most direct
In this sense, I believe that, in addition to thinking that the voice he has had on social networks has been too loud, I think that the answer given on the streets has not been the most direct. Because we advertise those we don't want and we take it away from those who really need it.
Because new times have come to Euskal Herria, because we continue to see the problems with the same eyes as before, but, above all, because we have become able to see them from different windows than we did before. What I mean by this is that in the face of the events that have taken place in recent days, it is possible to look out of a new window without diverting sight.
Because it's possible that by not spreading them and not giving them an answer on the streets, they might know that at the time they're not welcome. Because by doing the opposite, in addition to giving them publicity, we assure them of their existence. Because they hurt us, and by the way, because we tell them that they are there, that is, because with the utmost force we give them the things they want and demand. They alienate us, they seize us. They lead us to show our wound inside, when we don't need it.
We ourselves enrich the discourse and the image, and in the end, it is ours that spreads. That's what they want. Pain. Rabies. So let us not give them this pleasure.

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... [+]

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... [+]

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... [+]
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... [+]
