Or just a feeling? The concept of nation is sociological, psychological and emotional, the feeling, the belief, the accreditation that we are from here and there. Identity and origin. Etymology indicates that the term nation is birth or creation. The juridical-political states succeed in shaping and regulating the territory.
What are we, what others would like us to be or what we feel? Where are we from? Clearly from the place where we feel. We are what we feel, above the appearance of the skin. Who should tell anyone who he is or what he is, whether from there or here? Do the rules or laws only indicate who and where we are from? What about feelings? What about sociology? What about emotions?
The book does the cover. Outer appearance. But if the interior leaves were blank, it would look like a book. It gives the character of a book what is written on the inner pages. And we don't know until we tell whether it's an essay, a story, a poetry, a kitchen or a drawing. Its external aspect can be general, transitory and misleading. The inner, the concrete and the well-rooted is what makes us who, what and where.
We are a cultural nation without a doubt (language, culture, customs, beliefs…), but we are not a state, that is, a people with a juridical-political character. We have had a set of laws and regulations that structure our functional reality and three administrative realities. And in the case of the South, the Statute and the Foral Improvement are subject to a Superior Regulation of Spain. Our nation is subject to the Superior Regulations of both nations. And as long as we continue to depend on these regulations we will not be ourselves (nation), but what the Spaniards and the French want us to be.
We have to draw up our Higher Standards. Acquire statehood. Legal and political organisation. We have the economic, cultural, structural and human foundations. We do not want to be part of a great Spain in order to strengthen it. I do not want to be part of a nation state that does not allow us to be persecuted, subjected and ourselves.
Before Spain became a homeland, we were stretching and people. The character of the peoples goes a long way in history: Vascones, Caristios, Bardullians… from the Kingdom of Navarra and subjects from Spain. It is, of course, easy to say. It's harder to do it. Even more so when a stranger decides who you are and where you are from: Spain, France, Europe…
For the same reason, we must follow the Kosovo Declaration of Independence, which does not contravene international law with a unilateral declaration of independence.

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

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... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
Novelty is usually one of the most heard words associated with the Durango Fair. The novelty is there, and here's the novelty. However, in some cases it is sufficient to give a different aspect to the previous one to paste that label. The CDs and remastered reeditions with... [+]
The Basque country has a very large water flow in the shortage. Every local drop curls and revives our culture. Offer a sea of water to that thirst. Although the Basque Country has come from a deep and dark well, we have all drawn our sample of salt water and turned it into a... [+]
Young people start consuming pornography before, as porn is their only sex education. How on earth have we come here?
Today, it has to be acknowledged that thanks to the Internet it is much easier to see pornography. Unfortunately, through a click, the 7-9 year-old boy comes to... [+]
On 5 December last, pp presented in the Parliament of Navarra a proposal for a law to decouple the processes of functionalization of the Secretariat and Intervention positions of the local entities of Navarra. If this were to happen, about 30 people would achieve well-deserved... [+]
