Take part in the demonstration on 3 March: The best way to greet Jesus Naves
A few weeks ago we were (only physically) Jesus Fernández Naves, for most of the vitorians "Naves". Many citizens who are fondly reminded of a fairer world based on autonomous organization and anti-militarist militancy of the working class have not had the opportunity to greet as they want because of the current situation.
Some of us who have had the pleasure and pride of participating in their closest environments (friendly, working, militant or family) believe that we do not fail thinking of Jesúsi, Naves, someone who refused to push personalism and the leading protagonist, who would not be graceful, official tribute, or institutional recognition. And if there's any kind of popular greeting you like, surely that would be the participation of all the people we love at the March 3 demonstration. To make our tribute also part of the spirit of this great annual popular mobilization: Continue to claim the memory and current status of the workers’ struggle around 3 March in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and the denunciation of the massacre and its inspirations.
"If there is any kind of popular greeting you like, surely that would be the participation of all the people we love at the manifestation of March 3"
That is why we have made the decision to write these lines among some people nearby, as well as to bring a banner with the motto Agur Naves: all power to the assembly. Because we believe that this is the phrase that best condemns his contribution to the struggle of the workers. We have also agreed with the organisations hosting the demonstration that make a significant part of their best known public testimony heard at the end of the political act: Words spoken at the Cathedral on the day of the funeral by those killed on 3 March.
We know that people leave, but their deeds and testimonies are kept, and we will have time to pronounce and recover the words of Jesus Naves. Not to worship him or to offer him laurels, but to keep them from being lost, to be part of the contributions and lessons that are so necessary for the autonomous and popular labor movement. Naves pushed it throughout her life as a continuation of the struggle for this truly just and necessary society. There are voices that slip away from us and we have to give them back their breath. Recovering dreams and forms of horizontal, transparent, participatory organization. Research the remains of that rebel fire, of which they were part with many other neighbours of Vitoria. Risking... in their reconstruction.
It's the best way to say it loud and clear: Jesus, we don't forget you. Neither you, nor the hundreds of people who participated in the Patrimony of March 3, 76, who during these 45 years have left us anonymously and silently without our mentions, greetings or public hugs. Participating in the demonstration on March 3 of this year is the best way that has occurred to us to give the only Popular Greeting that Jesus would certainly not reject. We see each other there.

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... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
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.

We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
For a whole week we have talked about the book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi, in the classroom of the university, with teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education. Our main reference has been the nice edition that Galtzagorri published in 2011, which included the... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
In Sociology of Education there is a classical question: Why does the education system exist in a society? The answers to the question are numerous and change according to the time. But among them, it should be noted that the main objective of the school is the creation of... [+]
With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]
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... [+]
