Upon my return to this house, when I measure the step, the first one is heavy, and I do not lean more than during the last few weeks without reflection. To have a free and ample place, I find it oddly difficult. With all my pleasure, the phrases start and they are forming in unfinished verse. I already knew that it came from Catholic education, not from initiation, but from perversity. I knew maybe I had too many issues to deal with, you don't know where to start. Because what the devil? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

There's nothing as uncomfortable as suspense. As a young man, a teacher prohibited me from using them. He said that they did not cause him any grace, which was not out of curiosity, but out of frustration: “Three points and we don’t know! Three points: Guess the sequence? Three points: I don't know and put whatever you want? Three points and what? Don't I dare? Don't I know what to think? Suivre? Those who don’t have a clear idea put them in: what is clear comes to lie down on paper themselves.”

Yes, of course. But here. Do we at Iparralde know what we're in? In the next few weeks, the votes in favour of the Commonwealth, people to people, will begin until March and with the aim of adapting our reality. If, for the time being, pragmatic opinion and calculations on papelites nailed on the corners of the coffee tables are in favour, the suspense is still in our occupations, in our conversations, in our thoughts. So far the supporters and the hopeful have spoken, pending the lifting of the flood of the opposing parties. Consideration has until recently been given to how to make the transition, deadlines, competences, services and staff. From this stage of implementation and organisation, there are major political, economic, social and tax concerns, of course, which will be addressed as a matter of priority. On the contrary, the favourite themes of the Basques, such as cross-border relations, the Basque country and culture, which, if they have been worthwhile, have merited special working groups and nights of reflection, will surely be dealt with chronologically after everyone else. Do you want to tell me to spend more time in the future? It's possible. And there are things that are not clear: How far are we going to be more advanced?

However, as long as the final result of the votes is not seen, the epilogue is written in points of suspensions. Three points. Because nobody knows what is going to happen and what can be put into this chapter. Because you don't know which northern people would give him the charges. Because after all, after two centuries, no one really knows the epilogue. Three points because nobody wants to imagine a dramatic succession. Because it is a proper reservation, too soon to raise doubts.

I believe that the North is like this at the moment, as if the breath had been abducted, impregnated with hypothetical conditions, full of concessive phrases. At least, I feel like that, higher than the mist. And those around you similarly, without throwing the towel that you're sitting on the bench next door, with lots of questions, but with consensus. Well, there may also be some, winged, smoked or lost, of course.

Disappointment teaches to mentalize customs beforehand and to be prudent with thoughtful thoughts and timid words…

It will continue ...
