Lateral load
For those of us working in the Basque media, monitoring the women’s sports of Basque women must be an inescapable objective. You are thinking “what less in a public environment”. You are absolutely right.
At a time when most of the media are making a strategic commitment to Castilian, those of us who work solely in Basque have quite a lot of problems to have a little dignity today. Worthy and strategic, a couple of ethereal concepts that often cannot be put into the same yoke.
The situation has taken lateral load, almost all the apple in the same basket and the donkey to one side, most of the time to the right, folded. Spanish is imposed every day when it comes to the choice of language and content, and, on the excuse of the hearings, almost all the media have made decisions not to drown. That Euskera is not strategic, apparently.
There are decisions that do not accept the vote and I, in my opinion, thought that the Basque was one of them. I, poor man. On television, at least, many conditions must be met for the program to be a little clean: for the interviewee to be Euskaldun, separated from some activity, to have time to come and to know or to express what they have lived. Maybe with a lot of conditions.
On the second Sunday of the Regatas of San Sebastian this year, the women were thrown into the water counterclockwork “forced” by the harsh conditions of the sea. Men, maintaining the sacred tradition, launaka a launaka bi txanetan.
We had a long discussion about it, once the race was over, when we took refuge in the smooth and picturesque streets of the old town: to see if the danger was the same for everyone, if there is a big difference to withstand the impact of the wave on the boat for men or women, if all female trainees had enough experience to navigate this type of sea, why at times when they dominate the rowing world there are so little women.
We would be happy to hear the views of the remers once the waters were calm. Was the decision to leave under these conditions a decision made with them? Did they agree to go against the clock or, if they did, in their usual way, four in four, were they in favour of doing so? We were eager to know.
All the media, those who have placed a burden on the burro of information on the side of Castilian, and the others, we have all the year ahead so that women and sport are protagonists in our daily lives.
The protagonists themselves have to realize that some of us have more difficult work than others. Woman, athlete and Euskaldun. Is it a lot to ask?

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... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
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.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
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.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
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... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
For a whole week we have talked about the book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi, in the classroom of the university, with teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education. Our main reference has been the nice edition that Galtzagorri published in 2011, which included the... [+]
“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... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
In Sociology of Education there is a classical question: Why does the education system exist in a society? The answers to the question are numerous and change according to the time. But among them, it should be noted that the main objective of the school is the creation of... [+]
With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]
