Pedagogy of independence
From Euskal Herria we continue with great admiration and attention the Catalan process. We do not know what is going to happen, we do not know whether the strategy of the right to decide is really effective in achieving independence and is about to see whether or not Catalonia will achieve the victory of Spanish imperialism. There are probably many reasons or keys why the independence process in Catalonia has advanced so much. Anyone who longs for the independence of Euskal Herria will often ask this question: “What has happened in Catalonia to catch that speed?” “What doesn’t happen in Euskal Herria to go so slow?” The Diada was held in the absence of sixteen days for 27 September and I had the opportunity to be there. It can be said that Catalonia is a people at the moment of realising the dream and, although many things can be said and highlighted, I would like to point out two aspects: the joy that the citizens reflect and the pedagogy that has been done to reach this situation. This year, the Via Lliure Group promoted the following choruses during the Central Event: “Via lliure: to democracy; to myth; to sustainability; to social justice; to diversitat; to solidarity; to solidarity; to equality; to territorial balance; to education; to culture”.
And all of this through independence. It is a series of phrases that explain in a simple and clear way the benefits of independence. They graphically express the benefits for Catalonia, and for any stateless nation, to govern itself. Both the public and private media and other actors express in their actions an explicit or implicit attitude towards independence. The representative sent to Europe said that Europe will recognise Catalonia as a state if the majority of citizens give their assent, and they have also made it clear.
The Catalans have often looked at us and it is now we who cannot take a look at Catalonia. No, they're not comparable, they're not comparable. But we Basques have become more docile. The road to independence must be turned on, and that is why the pedagogy of independence is essential. Two solid lines of argument: on the one hand the historical argument and on the other the advantage of having the power to determine ourselves. Euskal Herria needs independence to survive. The euphemisms must be set aside and pedagogy must be started without shame.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

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... [+]
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... [+]
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... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
