How do nationalism live in Chile?
Cleaner than here. We are trying to ensure that the struggle of the political parties here does not lead them there. They would bring interruptions.
There was no claim for the peace process at the World Conference in November.
It cannot be because it was not agreed, joint demands cannot be agreed!
And after ETA silence…
Hope. The hope that nationalists will join. That's before. Then, the circumstances.
What contribution does the foreign Basque make to the Basque Country?
It helps channel all kinds of relationships, both commercial, cultural, political. The Chilean Basque Foundation tried it.
Euskera is at the university, in Chile.
Basque courses and culture are offered in four universities. An excellent way to make known Euskal Herria.
Do you know anything about that here?
We have seen this in our trade relations. Some businessmen were working in Chile and did not know that SPRI was working there. The one here knows nothing.
That the organizers of the World Conference have new leaders, isn't it like starting from scratch again and again?
But start! It's always a step. And it's not a matter of tiredness, it's a matter of constancy.
Our pelotaris are playing in world competitions on behalf of France and Spain.
We were unable to join the Basque international federation. Hence the problem. In Spain, the issue cannot be put on the table.
The next generations of Euzko Etxea…
It is becoming easier for subsequent generations to be Euskaldunes. It is a matter of will.
Euzko Etxea from Santiago from here to 50 years…
I see it bigger than it is now. Illusion is what is needed.
Ethnic Basque women say they are political embassies. That's the indictment.
Politicians are the way to be in touch with a country. This is politics.
They try to degrade identity in many ways.
And instead, we are trying to strengthen that identity.
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
Mexikoko bi emakume hauen bizitzak indarkeriak eta desplazamenduak zeharkatzen ditu. Haien familiako edo komunitateko kideak hiltzen ikusi dituzte, eta krimen antolatuak zabaltzen duen terrorea azalean sentitu dute; mehatxuak, jazarpena... ohiko dituzte. Baina horrek guztiak... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
