Near reach vertex
The current challenge of the Basque Country is to reach the vertex of the five-level staircase, neutralize, dazzle, convince, attract and activate.
In order to neutralise the attacks on our language, the Basque Country has emerged from the conflicting disputes and has made the leap into new open reasoning, in some of our territories. It has come to distort many sectors that are suspicious and hostile to the Basque Country, spreading with prudence and intelligence new favorable narratives (narrative, discourse). This strategy has led to the gradual evaporation of prejudices and other deep-rooted beliefs such as the Basque imposition. The ecology of languages has legitimised the defence of all languages and, on the other hand, it has started to think, at the same time, that the inclusive image of the Basque is of all citizens, not only of nationalists.
However, neutralisation must continue, both because the measures in favour of the Basque Country are criticised and because some curious cries are heard (the Basque language is not the language of Navarre, for example).
The mass Euskaldunization makes the linguistic community ever stronger if those who know
Euskera activate
There is a level above that which must be dazzled and persuaded: both the Castilian and the Basque speakers who are in doubt about the Basque, and the Basque temperate. The illusions are based on the senses and the conviction in reason, so not only are the assumptions important, but also the experiences themselves. The paradigmatic initiative of this type of task is Korrika, but, whether leisure or educational (e.g. EusLiders), more and more actions are being promoted with these objectives.
The more types of reasons/feelings accumulated, the greater the fascination and conviction of human beings: Euskera helps work and, moreover, the language of my azucarillo! A well-established conviction will facilitate the incorporation into the Basque Country of new social sectors: the conviction has led to the small number of adults being singled out in night schools, and in schools the multitude of boys and girls who, with the conviction of their parents, were authentic Castilian speakers.
The mass Euskaldunization makes the linguistic community stronger and stronger if the knowledge of Euskera is activated. Different types of initiatives have been targeted at this level for some time: Quadrillería, Berbalagun, Euskarabentura, Euskaraldia...
The vertex of the ladder is practically within our reach, but not in all territories and in all social sectors of the same territory. This is the key to continuing to raise the level: the needs for specific situations and the adequacy of strategic initiatives by level.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
