Independence XXI


04 October 2016

Elkarrekin Podemos was the novelty of these elections and, as a novelty, it has given a measure, eleven Members; but of the thousands of votes that in spring came to the portals of the skies, 150,000 voters have lost their memory of three months ago. I wonder whether he has lost a different kind of attachment to the simple political difference that may exist between the general and the autonomic elections, but I am not able to define it.

Idoia Mendia presents a novelty to explain the unstoppable decline of the PSE-EE. You are right, many of the votes that have not been left at home have been those that have achieved this new force. But that reason is technical, arithmetic, not political at all. In politics, we must ask why this new force has affected non-right-wing parties. There is some very serious reason, beyond novelty, for the party that has travelled during the legislature to rise and lose the covers of the pants and all for novelty. As long as there are no political answers, it will be very difficult to put a stop to the decline of socialism in the Basque Country.

The reason for Idoia Mendia is arithmetic, not politics at all. In politics, we must ask why this new force has affected non-right-wing parties.

And the other is the Abertzale left, I think it's not right to decide whether he's been left in political solitude or if he's been a runner-up. Both are true, for both of them they have also made the excuse for this famous novelty, but the political response, at least for the time being, is the loneliness that has touched on it. Tokita has been the hegemony of nationalist discourse in recent years; the evolution of nationalism in the coming years will be a spectacle. In the most glorious, most politically serious moment of the election night, no one started to dream about Elkarrekin Podemos, the PSE-EE, and all the enemies that were needed. The right has emerged with an absolute majority, the PNV-PP, something that, although not forgotten, should not be forgotten.

What merits has the Basque electorate acknowledged to the PNV? I would say that at this time when we are becoming a peaceful society, no serious tension has been generated and no attempt has been made to create imbalances between the main sensitivities that we are in this country. To do so by recognizing that it is much better to live tight, distressed and irritated than to live. I would say that the PNV has realized that the further away from independence, from unilateralism, the better the response given to it by the citizens, and it has invented the independence of the twenty-first century. We need to know what it is and what differences there are between them. In that we are going to give the next legislature, differentiating the two discourses from nationalism and consolidating the belief that, by the will of the citizens, they prefer to be this of the twenty-first century. Always with the permission of the trade union majority, you have not forgotten them.

Why be ashamed?

Are we running out of shame? This is the diagnosis of several authors today. Is there no longer a look that can embarrass us? Another thing that Jean-Paul Sartre described in 1943 around shame is that on the other side of the lock, with the eye stuck in the key slot, a person is... [+]

Autumn does not envy spring

If we were to ask which of the four concerts they love most is that of the “four seasons” of Vivaldi, the answers would give them on an equal footing, half the spring and the other half the fall. However, the balance would be made in favour of spring, perhaps because it was... [+]
