Despair and hope
The Aberri Eguna passed. Forgive, but with Franco they were better. What days of homeland! Or was it because we were young and of a stronger (or stupid) faith? In any case, let us not reawaken ghosts and let us name them down, it is OK!
Seeing the positions of the PSE/PSN/PSOE, why is our "sovereign and identity obsession", but not the imposition of the sovereignty of the only great Spanish nation, with all the apparatus of the state, including the army?
Frankly, I have a bit of joy, more despair lately from the nationalist parties. Year after year, who has a concrete strategy, a planning, a roadmap, a journey, a deadline for achieving the proposed objectives? It is sad, but I usually accept Aberri Eguna’s statements with humor and despair. However, there are two rays of light on the horizon: the first, the position of Podemos in favour of the right to decide. The second is the votes which will be held in certain municipalities and counties in the coming months in the exercise of this right.
The first is even more important in view of the positions of the PSE/PSN/PSOE. Why is our “sovereign and identity obsession”, but not the imposition of the sovereignty of a single great Spanish nation, yes or yes – with all the apparatus of the State, including the army – no matter how much the majority of the inhabitants of one community or another? Why does the right to decide divide society if the status quo is not maintained or any other choice? Why do we talk about our “exclusive ethnicism”, if the right to vote is equal in guarantee and value for all citizens, whether it is a fervent Basque nationalist or a rabid Spanish nationalist?
With the forgetfulness of the times when the PSE was behind the banner of self-determination, Podemos’s attitude is innovative, radically democratic; in the face of strengthened, blocked and obsolete positions, a fresh and young wind. All right!
On the other hand, on the direct or indirect initiative of Céesku dago, it will soon be possible to vote in several localities. Without official recognition, they will have a symbolic and moral value; but if things are done well, they can also have a great pedagogical value. There I see the big challenge: to everybody, not just those on our rope, you have to explain to them why we would live better by being more independent, assuming our own.
There is a lot of work to do if you want to get clean majorities! We forget it many times, but when the time comes to vote in Scotland or Quebec, all the votes are worth the same, the bravest and the slightest, the least is to keep what we have, and the fear of losing it is the germ that is sown easily. It would be better not to forget it so as not to receive the surprise muzzle!

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
