Victims of Justice
Everyone recognizes their ropes as victims. Nothing else. All too often we see tensions in this respect. Who we have to remember and who we do not, except to say it wrong.
The truth is that the point of view conditions perception and judgment. Where do we look from? Do we consider the last 60 years? Since 1936? We can always find an oppressor and an advocate. But who is who in western films? Western does not count the entire film, but the interested party, concealing the origin of the conflict. Neither do we know the origin of ours in schools.
We need a perspective. The perspective we have of a mountainous summit to learn about the orography of our environment. Given by height, meters. That is why we believe that we have to take into account a period of centuries to identify the executioners and the victims.
The Basques have long been the main victim. They're Indians in America. We invite you to know the history of our centuries
The Basques created the state in 824 to protect our society and our culture. Faced with threats, we organise an armed defence force, as is customary in every State. In short, they divided us into 1200, 1512 and 1620 and dominated us. We were strongly robbed of independence. We were not able to resist aggression, but we were able to survive the consequences. Since then we have made some sterile attempts to regain sovereignty.
From this perspective, we know perfectly well who the executioners are and that the victims are us: the Basques, our culture, our language. The people we live in are threatened by the gradual disappearance of the map. Data on the downward use of the Basque Country, the latest judgments of the “justices” of France and Spain… witnesses.
The Basques have long been the main victim. They're Indians in America. We invite you to know the history of our centuries to gain perspective and become aware of the situation both in schools and at home.

The origin of the term lies at the beginning of the nineteenth century. At that time, the imperialist pretensions of the British Liberals clashed with the Russians, which spread in Asia and hindered the desire for colonization of England. To protect its interests, England used... [+]
I started to mentally write my article while I was in the car. I usually have the best ideas in the car while driving alone. I'm going to Bilbao, to the Arriaga theater. The Artedrama company is today staging the Miñan play. It's Friday, October 25.

The society in which we live is absolutely based on subordination. Over the centuries, our lives have been shaped according to it, and little by little the power of decision, freedom and sovereignty have been reduced. Sometimes they've taken us away with force, sometimes we've... [+]
What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]

We are seeing more and more spelling errors in the writings of social networks, not only of young people, but also of the media. Some have become so common that they hardly hurt their eyes.
In this way, we can read in Spanish many things like: "You lose a dog," "It'll be that or k... [+]

By 21 October, the network, named Palestinian Gernika, called for mobilizations. This is an initiative to denounce the genocide suffered by Palestine and to fight for peace, and it cannot be put against these two causes. Solidarity leads us to position ourselves in favour of the... [+]
