If something is going to change
One of the ideas that this crisis has generated is that 1% of people dominate the ways of life and destinations of another 99%. We live in a small, ridiculous minority, so it should not be so difficult to turn things around if they are so few.
The idea is good because it is strong, but at the same time it is absolutely false, because in all areas of society power is organized according to a pyramidal structure, that is, in the upper vertex there may be only 1% of the world's inhabitants, but on the second scale, let's say, 3%, 1% is as responsible for the situation as that, and almost dislikes the same height of that 1% the advantages of power. Every time we go down a staircase in the pyramid, the percentage of people in the pyramid increases and decreases the responsibility and the level of power. To what degree of the pyramid does the weight of the upper structure begin to be unsustainable? What percentage of the population support it?
Another idea that has left us the crisis is that yes, everything is very bad, but -- you can't do anything. This has been repeated constantly, not rarely in an interested manner, that is, “nothing can be done”, and then, in their own conscience, “and why!”, because they are very majos, if the origin does not harm their interests, of course.
Most of us have gone between the rage of generating the first ideas and the despair of the second, and we have gone astray, without the situation being able to guess the answer it would deserve. That is why, when a few months have passed, I turn back and I find the attitude of the former director of the Department of Finance of Navarra, Idoia Nieves, who put a lot of herself, for honesty, without expecting anything, even more worthwhile. Their generosity questioned the government and the reality, and who knows, can still be decisive, in political terms, their contribution. For the time being, however, this was nothing but disgust.
I do not know to what extent the pyramid places you as the director of the Department of Finance of Navarra, closer to the vertex than the base, of course, but not so high. Trying to escape pessimism and optimism, I think that, assuming that most people in the most elemental links of the pyramid will be in favour, it is enough for a significant number of middle class individuals to say that they are not going to start changing anything, neither here nor anywhere.
Personal involvement is essential for this.

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... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
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.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
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.

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
