The Guggenheim Urdaibai: tube of the trick
The Guggenheim Urdaibai project is not today, eleven years ago they wanted to carry it out in Sukarrieta, and we stop, the intention of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the Guggenheim Foundation to build the museum by bringing down the building of Labastida that abandoned the activity of the people. We will stop this second attempt, and all possible subsequent attempts, we will not stop until we stay forever.
Because Urdaibai is not for sale, because we want to live in it, because the workers want to enjoy our coasts, mountains, pastures, rivers, seas, forests, streets -- no mass, in the streets, in the shops, in the bars and everywhere, listen to the Basque in people's mouths.
The economic interests of the few cannot jeopardise the future of an entire region against the will of the citizens.
The Guggenheim is nothing more than the tube of the iceberg... this irreverent trick intends to turn Urdaibai into an exotic vacation space for the rich by selling the brand ‘nature’, although for this they have to destroy nature.
We cannot accept an absurd project that negatively affects nature, quality of life, language, culture...
Violating the right to information of citizens, against all regulations and laws of protection of the reserve, imposing a racist conception, importing (and imposing) culture and art designed many kilometers from here, rejecting and condemning to death the art and culture of here.
The Guggenheim is nothing more than the tube of the iceberg... this irreverent trick intends to turn Urdaibai into an exotic vacation space for the rich by selling the brand "nature", although to do so they have to destroy nature, with the "culture" as a flag, but ending with the native culture.
On 28 October, thousands of citizens of different ages, professions and backgrounds demanded our opinion and decision on the streets of Gernika: Guggenheim Urdaibai Stop!
It is now up to the authorities to respect and comply with the people’s decision, better today than tomorrow.

Badator uda, eta horrekin batera, herri, auzo eta hirietako jai herrikoiak. Jaiak beti izan dira aldarrikapen sozial eta politikoen, auzokideen arteko harremanen eta euforia herrikoiaren aterpe. Gure kaleak hartzen dituzte, eta egun batzuez autogestioaren, desberdinen arteko... [+]
The Spanish state would become the dystopian stage of Tejerazo, in 1981. There, the political leaders confined to Congress were "invited" to approve a tacit agreement in which the status quo linked to the monarchic system, the bipartisan political system (establishment of closed... [+]
The new government formation has left many unanswered questions, but it is clear that once again we will have to be firm in betting on the Basque Public School. We were told that, although the same party will govern, we would have new faces, but that has not been entirely true... [+]

When we talk publicly about torture, we realize how much society embraces the opinion that the “system” itself puts into effect on this issue. It uses a wide range of ministers and advisers, judges and experts, all with the help of the organic media, of course. And it has to... [+]
