Who will take care of the children who are at home?
A call from a phone number I don't know. The moment seemed suspicious to me. Life changes from one moment to the next: the child must be confined for ten days. I have a lot of questions for someone on the other side: but if I wore a face mask, if I was a meter away, if it was a 50-minute class, why do you have to spend ten days at home? That is what the protocol says.
“The child must be confined for ten days. Now what? Who will stay at home with the four-year-old? How will we manage to keep doing life “normally”?”
I hung up the headset, and I wondered. Now what? Who will stay at home with the four-year-old? How will we manage to keep doing life with “normality”? I know there are hundreds of families like me, but I don't see any complaints or signs of organization. And I have a really bad feeling. This is nothing new, I missed it very clearly during the lockdown. Some complaints, tweets, texts... but it has not been affected.
At this stage of the pandemic, I need to strongly denounce the difficulties of conciliation, the conflict of care and the immobility of the system; but more than that, I would like to find myself wanting to organize and go out into the street.
In Pamplona, in the 1990s, a movement, an assembly or a platform could be created autonomously around any minor conflict. It is now very difficult; over the years the structures have been assuming the “social organization” and has become a “popular movement”. That is why a great deal remains to be done.
And when the COVID-19 crisis comes, with no tools, we've forgotten the "gestures." The years have passed and we only find old colleagues on the phones, and -- in despair, we have a sense of defeat in the face of the crisis, especially because we haven't had any chance to do anything.

Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]

You're in the bar, in the bar, asking. At the counter, other people too. It will soon take your turn, but the servant has not asked you what you want, he has saved you and he has taken care of the man who has come behind you. You have a stupid face and you want to draw the... [+]
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of... [+]
Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to... [+]
Being is doing. This is what the Durango Fair says this year, and it is true, at least in the case of the fair itself and taking into account Euskal Herria. This edition is already the 59th edition of the Azoka, and the fact that each year is celebrated shows that the Durango... [+]
