Striving to sharpen the view

They're not ours. Not like us. We have the opposite, the wrong, the opposite. Our exception is the rule for them and their rule is our exception. Our rule is its exception, its exception our rule.

Model A has a bad reputation among us. For a long time now. Once or twice a year, the Basque people claim their disappearance in the Basque Autonomous Community. In Navarre, however, we do not see you. It behaved like it didn't exist. It is not hard work, as visibility is scarce, although the word is understood.

Model A is nowhere to notice. Nobody mentions it, so little lifts it up. Fathers and mothers who send their sons and daughters to this model have never created associations or other institutions. They have not been able to address their concerns. You may not worry. Their teachers, as much as they do.

Of course, those in Model A do not celebrate parties, nor once a year gigantic concentrations. The Basque people do not want him. Neither will those who are not Basque, at least in Navarre.

Models A do not celebrate parties, nor giant concentrations once a year. The Basque people do not want him. And those who are not Basque either, at least in Navarre

The main criticism that has been made is reasonably: Model A does not serve to uskaldunize anyone. As for all the French hours we were given at the Baccalaureate, most of us could not order a beer in the Plaza de San Juan de Luz, nor even have the four-hour classes a week for the students of model A to ask for a kalimotxo in the gaztetxe de Leitza.

Let us not, however, be so vain. Not all dogs are wearing shoes in our country either. We all know a lot of former students who have gone through model D, unable to link four straight phrases in Basque.

Others, moreover, are worse. A word will never come out of his mouth in Euskera, by the decision of his parents. There is no trace of our language in the curricula of half of the students in Navarre, and I fear that this will not change immediately. The Government of Navarre must have more votes, money and energy than the current one, so that all students of Navarre can acquire a minimum knowledge of the Basque language. The Basque country will remain strange to many. And with Euskera, we are also foreign.

The students in Model A are not ours. Not like us. They're inverse, they're wrong, they're opposed. But not the opposite. Unlike others, they have a small window open four times a week and from there you can see us. Even if it's only for the mist. On the other hand, we should also make an effort to tighten our eyes, not to make them look. They're there and they can be fellow travellers. We're missing who worked.

Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

Deprotection of overprotection

We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]

The silogism of the carpentry

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

The legacy of the depressed Despremu

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]

Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]

From the Caldereros: A blackface in San Sebastian?

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]

Long way in small steps!

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]

They don’t know why

The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]

The Geopolitical Limits of Democracy

The liberal democracy of the Western countries has a growing appearance of a minimalist democracy. At the heart of the definition would be respect for changes in government through elections. The authoritarian variant of this was called competitive authoritarianism by political... [+]
