I would like to understand…

  • I should like to know how my people’s neighbours voted in the last elections. I'd like to know who I drink morning coffee with in the town's inns. I would like to understand why these results have occurred in Iparralde.

I cannot understand the success of the extreme right in our peoples. I do not understand that! What motivates these votes? I can't think, I don't want to think that a third of the Labortans, Bajonavarros and Xuberians can be racist. I don't understand how in Euskal Herria, where he has known migration in his history, he may be afraid of immigration. I do not understand where that fear of others can come from. It is not possible either here or in our territory.

“I can’t think, I don’t want to think that a third of the Labortans, Bajonavarros and Xuberians can be racist. I do not understand how in the Basque Country, where he has known migration in his history, he may be afraid of immigration...”

So how do you understand those votes? What to see in the liver? What is the journey? It is heard that it can be a denial of the French Government and in particular of lehendakari Macron, an increase in living expenses for others, or that the reform of the reserves has something to do with … OK. But how do you move from it to voting on the extreme right? What can make you think that the extreme right will bring answers or changes? Where should we go so as not to know what the values or perspectives of the extreme right are?

When you vote for the extreme right, you vote for all those things. And today, those things, those ideas that bring the extreme right, are known, you can't ignore. That scares me.

I do not understand this diversion. At the same time, how can we not underline the event and applaud the election of the first Basque Member of Ipar Euskal Herria? A victory for the Abertzales, an Abertzale voice in Euskal Herria in the midst of French power. That is no small thing! How not to link up with the first Member of 1789, Dominique Joseph Garat: “My province protests!” We can believe it will.

This victory was possible after the first meeting of left-wing forces at the Palau Blaugrana de Catalunya. The EHBai commitment has been to be part of the New Popular Front. This union has given rise to questions and discussions in every way. But it has been done. In the second round, the position of the Basque Nationalist Party is to be highlighted. Whether with left-wing parties or with the PNV, what has happened can have positive consequences. You can change things together.

With all these prospects it can be thought that hope can be created for the more Iparralde voters and that the initial doubts of this word sar can be overcome. It will create new confidence in the future. That is what we have to understand in the face of what has happened.

Differentiated financing of Catalonia

One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]

The region of Merida (Mexico) has been the object of this year of great controversy for the placement on a beach of a sculpture in tribute to the Greek god Poseidon. Merida is located on the Yukatan peninsula, where the people of Maia try to preserve their culture, within the... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Non-compliant(tut)

My cycles start in September and end in June, actually, (I was going to wear myself, but every time I use the plural a dwarf yells at me in my head, “they will be yours!”), and so it has been in my life, whether there is vacation, whether or not I have paid work on schedule... [+]

One Summer Chronicle

In summer, we retirees don't tend to be hungry for vacations, and we can calmly analyze everything around us. Here are some issues that surprised me.

Spain. The Euro Cup and the Olympic Games are all over the summer. I have to say beforehand that professional sport... [+]

With the Zabalduz caravan in the city of Bihac in Bosnia Herzegovina, activist Nihad Suljic explained to us that the Drina River is the largest tomb in the Balkans. In order not to be forgotten, he is responsible for identifying the bodies that are found and for giving them... [+]


Old news

I don't know if we're hit by heat waves anymore, if it's a normal hypocrisy or a systemic logic, but the gap between what we know, what we say and what we do, beyond concern, surprises me, especially in a summer environment. News, research, social media interactions… constitute a... [+]


Reception Rooms for Newcomers

Among many falls, there are also achievements. A young mother of about 35 years old asked me the other day how they could get in their school that the classmates who had not received Euskera at home learn and speak as well as the boys and girls who were Euskaldunes at home. In... [+]


Venezuela: beyond democracy

The current situation requires a thorough analysis of what is behind titles, demonstrations, the manipulated dissemination of some facts, the dark concealment of others and the disguised propaganda of analysis in most mainstream media. The situation requires that superficial... [+]

Precarious work at the Donostia-San Sebastián turistified

Loss of Basque 'identity'

The main feature of my basketball team is its personality. It is usually said that this is a common characteristic between the team and the hobby. However, this identity of all amateurs is not taken into account from the management. In fact, Euskaldunes fans see again and again... [+]

Territory and architecture
Bus station

Train stations in many cities show the highest beauty of the 19th century iron structure, along with the rise of arrival at the epicenter of the city. It's like entering the city through the front door, a pearl of architecture and place. However, in many cities, in the phenomena... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Overcommunicating

Why not leave it. He who writes the columns always follows the apologies of withdrawal in time. Before stocks are exhausted. The issues, to me, I have not been able to exhaust them, because I am not an expert in anything, and I have never had messages to convey to Euskal Herria... [+]


Folklore Basque

Start of the summer. EHZ festival hangover (atx, headache). You want to breathe after a charged course. Flush the head. Reconnect key elements. Take some time with family, see old friends again and rest (a little) in the daily struggle. Really? !...

Knowing how to leave on time

There are words, forms, gestures and attitudes that cannot enter and leave the body. Those that get into the body and rot into it. They pierce the body. They break down the body. They eliminate the body. And it's over. You can't go back to a state before a body that's broken down... [+]
