In our hands?

Human Rights. Solution. Peace. These are the slogans of the great demonstration on 11 January this year in Bilbao. The Forum for Peace was held in Baiona in March. “The process is on the right track,” said Brian Currin. In June, very large people met in Baiona, under the motto “Ni ere banoa!”. Recently, the human chain linking Durango with Pamplona was a very significant initiative. The new time has focused on “what is in our hands”.

There are also other demands in the Basque Country, in the field of labour, culture and social affairs. All essential. In any event, the consolidation of “political normalisation” – the resolution of the situations of victims, prisoners and exiles – must be a priority on the road to social normalisation.

The European elections, which have shown the weakness of the PSOE and the PP that have ruled the State, and the appointment of King Philip VI have also been very significant. After 40 years of Franco dictatorship and 40 years of “Juancarlist democracy”, we are in a new transition. Yes? Can the sad transition of the 1975-80 years take place in shape in the new era?

Premises in favor of the new era: We are in Europe. The path that Catalonia has taken is signalling, and so has the Scotland process. In the State, Podemos has been established. We can do it in the southern Basque provinces. In the Basque Country, Šesku Dago, an initiative born in Idiazabal, extended to Goierri, is a philosophy that wants to be extended in Euskal Herria.

However, what can be done in the new transition does not depend only on the capacity of the citizens. Whatever happens in these two countries will influence the path to Basque sovereignty. An augurian: If we need another 30 years to change the structures of Europe and the states, bad! A sign that the old status quo will not be renewed – I also see five-year periods for the second transition.

The power of Locks Esku Dago will be recognized as of next fall. In difficult times it will have to “compete”: in the municipal and foral elections of the coming years (including the Parliament of Navarre), between the votes of the Basque Parliament and the Congress of Spain.

The political leadership of Navarre is key in the future of Hegoalde. The North, on the other hand, is slower. However, unlike what happens in the South, paradoxically, the course towards local social political forces, whether they are Basque or not, is farther away than that of society.

“It’s in our hands” seemed to me a great motto. However, the new social phenomenon must overcome the limits of classical patriotism to achieve its goals. In other words, in addition to assuming the essence of human rights, the defenders must assume that the essence of the motto does not correspond to the will of territoriality, either of the State or of independence. “It’s in our hands” is the individual’s right to decide. The “success” of Dec. Esku Dago will depend on the political vanguard of the Abertzale left that has suffered nationalism over the past 30 years and is freed from the ambiguity syndrome of the PNV.

Killings, arms escalation and consequences

'Humiliadero' of the RGI
