"Ararteko has to be a government counter-power"

  • Growing up, who wants to be Ararteko?
Dani Blanco

Here who hears all the sorrows of the inhabitants of the CAV!

It's not exhausting, it's motivating. Motivation is like the cell phone battery charger: you end the day with all the energy spent, but for the next day you are fully charged.

One day it will need a lot of motivation for the Ertzaintza to follow its recommendations.

Ararteko must have the counter-power of government in the most democratic sense.

If Ararteko is an impartial and independent counterpart, are you meat and bone?

Ours is an orchestra of over 50 people who have very internalized the principles of human rights, and I'm just the conductor. In other words, I owe independence and impartiality, as should be the case for each instrument.

Their biographies seem to be due to your homosexuality. When do we read “Iñigo Urkullu, heterosexual”?

Much progress has been made at the legal and social level, but there is still a profound idea that homosexuality is not entirely normal. Well, Obama is always going to be a black president, a woman in high office is always going to be insisted on gender...

But were we not progressive, tolerant and guava Basques? Or was it just in comfortable economic circumstances?

Thomas Hobbes clearly said: “Primum vivere deinde philosophari”. But what are the needs of life? Have we not put too much into basic needs? Even when things were going well, haven't we given too much importance to money?

Finally, when urbanity is a necessity, we have become obsessed with worshiping the law.

Does civility sometimes not cause discrimination? Therefore, first of all, the laws that leave Parliament have priority. Two, those laws must respect the rights of all. Three, the law has to be legitimized for the decoration of society. And four, courtesy must also evolve.

It looks like the Declaration of Aiete! Do you think of peace, of solution or whatever?

The most basic human rights need a democratic context. To do so, we have to assume, assume and bear in mind all kinds of violence with all its consequences. Because it's not about blindly defeating what happened, it's about defeating it when you realize what happened.

I guess you've been told that Ararteko's post isn't forever, right?

At the end of the assignment, I will return to my legal position at the General Boards of Gipuzkoa. Although I do not know exactly, I have no doubt that I will continue in the social work and I intend to write about recovering the time, breathing and temple I have not had in recent years.
