Morning hope, desperate in the afternoon
Sometimes, in the morning, desperate. I recognize that I have had breakfast this morning of Sunday in my throat. When I started reading the news and you see the photo that accompanied the news on page 10, I made a “hand of congratulations.” Because yet, in my ignorance, I have not understood why the discovery of Irulegi has caused so much vote: did you think that the Basques would come down from a spaceship a few centuries ago, or that our ancestors were different from the other human beings of that time, that is, that there was a certain genetic inability to write?
Well, my surprise is that I've started reading the news, and I've tried to find the word officialdom in the text written by the journalist. In vain. That didn't exist there. In that desperate study work, the miracle of technology has sent me an entire manifesto from a friend. “We want to live in Euskera”, “we do not want to link Euskera with concern”, “we want to go shopping and speak in Euskera without worries, fears or embarrassment”, “because Euskera is not a jewel to keep in museums”, “it is time to take a step forward”, and also similar, but “officiality” does not appear anywhere. What does this word of origin have lately? Have we not learned very well in Nafarroa Garaia what makes us not to have the official Basque in the last eight years?

Finally, I have seen when this “historic” popular mobilisation will take place: 10 June. What a coincidence! After the elections! And then I have started — I have never been too shabby at all — to understand the objective of that demonstration convened by private individuals: to facilitate the way to EH Bildu and Geroa Bai, who are allegedly going to negotiate a government agreement with the PSN, to take measures for the Basque people, because, unlike what happens on other issues, it seems that both political forces have a necessary impetus to move forward.
And we remember, unfortunately, what happened in 2015 in the negotiation of the government agreement, where the Basque official remained, what has been the language policy of the Government of Navarra in the last eight years, where were those measures that they had to take in favor of the Basque in the next term. In short, it seems that betting too “passionately” for the Basque Country can lead to a loss of vote for these political forces, that the fact that in Nafarroa Garaia the Basque Country is official in Pamplona, Vitoria or Madrid is an indispensable condition for protecting any government. And although in that manifesto of congratulations they say “Despair is not an opportunity”, I was taken by disappointment, and I am convinced that in this march the Asturian will be official in Asturias, at the initiative of the PSOE, the Basque in Nafarroa Garaia. Asturian Sorionekuak!

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

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... [+]

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.

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.

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... [+]
