PESA, who has lost whom?
Many times I've wondered why we go to amusement parks, when we have the best entertainment, now at half price! But unfortunately, only immigrants, the elderly and young people know how to appreciate the heritage.
This very morning I experienced an exciting adventure. The bus from Oñati to Bilbao passes at 06:30 (the next one is at 13:00). A wonderful and full moon, which has announced a long journey to me. With me five other people at Oñati Post Station, waiting. We were beaten at 07:00, watching the full moon, then the clock, nervous and burning. Check repeatedly on PESA schedule and yes, the bus needed half an hour ago. “It won’t happen,” he said. His appearance of serenity and the renegade of the angry suggests: “This is not the first time.” It's Friday, the load of the week and the need to go to work makes the event even more exciting. What to do, how to reach the goal? I have turned my head to the bus station screen, to see if there is any warning (“ah, no screen, of course!”), come, we will call the PESA phone, “look, before 07:30 there is no service!”
The bus going to Zumarraga has passed, we have asked the driver and told us “come,” with questionable credibility. Ask the following driver and call: “Yes, he’s had a breakdown and is going to come now.” Of those we expected, some have done so to San Prudencio, others have done so there. They salute us. “The next bus departs from Arrasate, we go there”, “What time?”, “08:00”. The next bus to Bilbao, an hour and a half later! ! ! The others have been waiting for us. Pending. Pending. Pending. Sounds like 07:30. Pending. Back to PESA phone. “The bus has suffered a breakdown and by 07:00 has passed through San Prudencio.” It's gone... In San Prudencio we are all again hoping to catch a bus departing from Arrasate at 08:00. San Prudencio, second stop of the amusement park: a dark station with an impressive charm, showcase dozens of motorists who pass through it without being able to go to the environment and the bathroom in the garbage section. We have had an hour and a half. Piiiip We are in Bilbao!
I would like this to be just a ridiculous and eccentric rarity. Unfortunately, those of us who opt for the bus could say that we only have one more example of the bad management of public transport in Debagoiena. Those who take the bus in this valley of Gipuzkoa do not choose to take it, they go by public transport driven by necessity, they are the poor who live in our environment and have no choice but to take the bus. Being honest, hardly anyone would decide to get an hour and a half later to work to save the planet.
Finally, and bearing in mind the proximity of the elections, I would like to recall that promoting sustainable mobility is not only about advancing the name of ecology, but also about betting on social justice.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

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.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
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... [+]
