Active Society
A few weeks ago, pensioners were able to fill the streets of the Basque capitals and their families. They have worked on a clear and rational cry, and they are gathering around it, increasingly, more and more intensively. The generations that in the 1970s got used to moving in favour of democracy have started to move again and are not going to stay.
A few days earlier it was women's turn. They showed a great deal of strength, a sign that, going beyond the realm of militancy, the cry of women has spread to the whole of society. In view of the result, the political class blushed at the beginning and then it starts to bite. This will not diminish on the spot either.
These two strong dynamics, moreover, have looked at each other in search of common interests. And common interests are not hard to find. The one who is not yet a pensioner ever, and intergenerational solidarity is understood without major explanations. On the other hand, among pensioners, women are the most disadvantaged, the ones who earn the most. It's a natural alliance that can take a lot of strength.
Even more so. The dynamism Ensure Esku Dago aims to channel the accumulated social adhesion so far to public institutions to influence them. By June he has announced a giant human chain that will depart from Donostia-San Sebastian and travel to Bilbao to the Parliament of Vitoria-Gasteiz, where the collection of reasons for the Citizens' Pact will be handed over to the municipal representatives. More than a hundred thousand people will meet to travel two hundred kilometers.
And the first wave of Euskaraldia will materialize in the sand of the summers. Euskaraldia is the dynamic for changing linguistic habits on the road to linguistic equality. He wants to shake society with the aim of improving the situation of the vasco-speaker, asking the speaker stand to understand. And what has been done so far shows that this is also viral, that rapid and intense dissemination is taking place.
All these dynamics have a common basis: they all seek the activation of society in favor of basic rights, they are processes of empowerment in the direction of returning to society the decision-making capacity and the power of influence. It is quite possible for the same citizen to act in two dynamics, in three or in four, which would be absolutely consistent.
Well, if there were to be some convergence between all movements, there would be a social tsunami in the coming months that could shake our institutional and political structures. Like what has happened in Catalonia, there by independence and here with more content. An active society for basic and universal rights.
And 2019 is the year of elections...

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
