Our Osakidetza in Donostialdea
OSI Donostialdea is the largest organization in Osakidetza. The OSI consists of many peoples: Oiartzun, Lezo, Errenteria, Pasaia, Lasarte-Oria, Donostia, Urnieta, Andoain, Astigarraga, Hernani, Usurbil, Aizarnazabal, Zestoa, Getaria, Zumaia, Zarautz, Orio and Aia. Health care for the citizens of these municipalities.
We have already heard, now on the occasion of Christmas, that from 4 December we are going to have a reorganisation: we are going to be restricted, that is a restriction, and staff at all levels are not guaranteed in all services, another restriction. All this affects health care and our health.
Those responsible for Osakidetza have told us that it is difficult to find health workers, especially hard to get doctors. We have constantly heard that there are no doctors and, to put it so many times, we want to believe it. But where are the doctors? Have they disappeared? My question is, why is it increasingly difficult to find staff to work in Osakidetza? What happened? I have not yet heard of this lack in private enterprise, given that there are more and more companies and that they have more work.
We have constantly heard that there are no doctors and, insisting, those responsible for Osakidetza want us to create
Over ten years ago we realized what was going to come. On the one hand, the shift and social change and the ageing by age of Osakidetza staff. What have you done? What planning have you made? What have our superiors responsible for Osakidetza done? Furthermore, policy makers have not changed. We have reached the situation in which we have managed them. Will they be able to solve and leave our Osakidetza?
Yes, the situation is bad and they have discredited Osakidetza and are doing business at the expense of our health. Shame.
The counsellor, Mrs Sagardui, tells us that there is a remedy: public-private partnership. I disagree, no. This partnership is privatization, it is putting our money, our public money, into private hands, and by the way, our Osakidetza becomes weaker and destroyed.
Reduction of staff in all Health Centers and increased occupation. New jobs in private companies, poor working conditions and work, mostly women.
When faced with a health problem, where are we going? Who can, perhaps, be private?
That is enough. Strengthen Osakidetza. Health is ours. Do not steal. Do not destroy.

You may not know who Donald Berwick is, or why I mention him in the title of the article. The same is true, it is evident, for most of those who are participating in the current Health Pact. They don’t know what Berwick’s Triple Objective is, much less the Quadruple... [+]

Is it important to use a language correctly? To what extent is it so necessary to master grammar or to have a broad vocabulary? I’ve always heard the importance of language, but after thinking about it, I came to a conclusion. Thinking often involves this; reaching some... [+]
The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]

From linguistics or glotophobia and, of course, hatred against Basque, we have often seen our Basque become the dandruff of all sticks. Last of all, the president of Kutxabank, Anton Arriola, has been shaking our language and giving us galantas.The President of Kutxabank,

Do not look for this connection from Ezkio or Altsasu, let alone crossing the Ebro River through Castejón. The connection, or rather the connections, between the Basque Y and the AVE of Navarre is already a reality. It is these links in the plural that should concern us and... [+]
Don't make a fuss, don't confront, don't victimize... and obey. As oppressed subjects, in this case as Basques, we talk, how many times have we had to listen to them? Ironically, two years ago, at the Euskalale Independentiston Meeting, Esne Arzallus said: "We have arrived here,... [+]
