Errekaleor needs you!
In our small Basque Country, we have many examples in favor of the construction of a new social model, outside the logic of capitalism. Occupying movements, against giant infrastructures, based on food sovereignty or alternative media. In most cases, information and solidarity with these critical movements and organisations is awakened when attacks and repression by political and administrative institutions and companies take place. This is what has happened in the Errekaleor district of Vitoria-Gasteiz. On 3 June we met some 10,000 people in response to the call made by Errekaleor Bizirik! and against the mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Gorka Uraran. Many of the protesters were headed by Iñaki Azkuna in Kukutza and Eneko Goia in Kortxoenea. Errekaleor is the reflection of the self-managed anti-capitalist model and that is why they want to derail it. We have left.
Following the interruption of the electricity service by Iberdrola, Errekaleor's energy transition has begun. The Basque energy multinational had already announced on 28 June in Donostia-San Sebastian a summer course of the UPV/EHU with the motto Energy Transition, but it has been suspended days before. I do not know why, but I do not think there is a lack of interest or registration here. Former Vice President of the United States and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore told us a few years ago that the Basques were very lucky at the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Iberdrola and Gamesa, in their view, are very valuable tools for tackling climate change. Gamesa has recently been sold to the German Siemens and I believe that Iberdrola is part of the problem (the main one) and not of the solution. To overcome the social model of capitalism, we have to change the energy model, and if we make that energy transition, the forces and the agents are fighting for and against us. In Errekaleor they want to deal with Iberdrola and it is not going to be easy.
Against and in favour. Following the May attack on Errekaleor, a large number of people were mobilised, as in the case of the conviction of the young people of Alsasua. In the political culture of Euskal Herria, we have very present attitudes and criticisms against social injustices. On the other hand, I believe that we have not yet overcome a subject in order to have to create favourable and constructive positions. The Vitoria district of Vitoria-Gasteiz has launched a new energy catchment campaign coopfunding.net/es/campaigns/errekaleorbizirik, in which at the moment more than 900 people have participated. They will still need a lot of small aid to cover the budget. You can also participate to be part of the energy transition and the new social model. Come on!

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]

Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
