I don’t know exactly when this article will see light, but I imagine that by the time it comes out, the act of July 8, 2018 will take place in memory of the 40th anniversary of the death of Germán Rodríguez.
I have no doubt that the Town Hall Square will be filled to the limits, as the year has been fruitful and many events have been held, of all kinds, to make this last tribute a success; not in vain, the preparations began a year and a half ago, in autumn 2016.
The meaning, intention, objective and consequences of the aggression that took place on 8 July 1978 are well known and quite clear to anyone who does not endeavour to look at reality with wooden glasses. They were, of course, dramatic moments that marked the future of our city for many years.
From 1978 until today, every 8 July, there have been friends, relatives and, without further ado, all Locals who asked for truth, justice, reparation and assurance that it would not be repeated.
Forty years without
ever missing
However, 1978 is on site. But since then, year after year, on the struggle and the commitment of all those who have tried to keep Germán’s memory from going out: exemplary, with a great commitment, which has experienced difficult and hard times. How many times did they shatter, soiled and painted the trail in memory of Germán? It has been renewed and re-established so many times. From 1978 until today, every 8 July, there have been friends, relatives and, without further ado, all Locals who asked for truth, justice, reparation and assurance that it would not be repeated. Forty years, I had never failed. For forty years, the memory of what had happened and the absence of friends who were missing for one reason or another had moved them.
Thanks to them, the chain has not been broken, and today, the forty years of Pamplona that are at the best time in their lives, they also know about the attack they suffered forty years ago.
But, to echo the words spoken by the Sanfermines 78 Gogoan collectives under the new monument that has been placed, let us say that on 8 July 2018 nothing is over; we will continue to claim the truth, justice and reparation, because we are already more all the victims – all – affected, without knowing how and why those of us who believe that a just coexistence cannot be built.

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
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... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
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 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.

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... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

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... [+]
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... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
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... [+]
