We are countless to learn in the socio-political process that change requires. We therefore need renewed observatories and other perspectives. In short, the future is not written, we are writing with today’s bets. In this sense, I take the lesson of the Catalan procés, a lesson of reflection that the Catalan process generates in the one here. In front of the mirror the one there has stripped us, in view of what we have, to the need to rethink some of our stories… If we are ever going to walk with guarantees the motor process towards the Basque republic.

We have seen civil and political society in the same yoke, streets, institutions and polls in a shared direction, anti-systems supporting institutions, including local police. The City Hall and the Parliament hand in hand… Contingency plans to choose, collective intelligence… Putting the theory of politics into practice, there, despite the difficulties.

Catalan gives us reason to rethink the scope and model of politics, if we leave our labyrinths and invent it in a clear and broad direction for the Basque republic, beyond the great words. They say it's procés, because when the changes are profound, it's what they require, a long, circular, fluctuating, retrospective and complex process. We have been representing independence for years in a simple way, as if it were in our hands. But no, Catalonia, for example, and we are where we are, in the port. Of course, if we do not do what is in our hands, it is over! Therefore, one of the objectives must be bilateral, for the future State to be recognized. But for that, we have to make the way credible in society.

In Catalonia they are in self-criticism, because they are on the path of teaching. One of them has given me a very special light, that is, that much has been discussed about the process, but nothing about the socio-economy of the new state. In Euskal Herria we also missed it, which a Basque State would offer today without being offered autonomy. After all, if the majority bets on social sovereignty, it is because they see it on the path of well-being, or it is not a bet. And that's what we haven't invented yet.

I endorse the key words that the outgoing president of Catalonia pronounced at the beginning of his march to understand the challenge of the process: Patience, perseverance and perspective. The three, and from a strong flexibility, transformative pragmatism, which has nothing to do with the limiting pragmatism that currently dominates. But for that we need new actors, who are not enough; and in that, again, Catalonia as a reference.
