Flowers and tips
I've experienced two feminist strikes. There have been only two, but I am already far away another 8 March, which gave us “congratulations”, which were shaped like flowers or chocolates, which invited you to remain the best home caretaker. It is not far in time, but it is in space – physical and mental – at least in mine. That seems to me to be an ideological achievement, a step. A strike requires implications, strikes are uncomfortable and discomfort – and contact with the economy – moves things from one side to the other.
The question is where does power move? It is clear that for companies that trample on working women*, for men who do not care about care or for the different agents that legitimize violence, stereotypes… flower time was much easier. But when street movements cannot be stopped, the usual strategy is “fusion”, but neutralizing the ideological part and assuming the aesthetic part. You have seen the wonderful videos of the Feminist Movement of Euskal Herria on the concept of “purple bleaching” by humorist Beatriz Egizabal. The purple laundering is, among other things, that Iberdrola organizes these days storytelling contests about “women”, or that the men of the City of Vitoria-Gasteiz want to take a collective photo on the occasion of March 8, after the eviction of the feminist space Talka… Then comes the adhesion of the Queen of Spain and not address the problem of hundreds of viral straws. And this, folks, is not the “fault” of the feminist movement. This is a system survival technique. But it seems that pointing out any possible weak point in the movement is a source of joy for many. “You’re wrong.”
To the capitalist heteropatriarchate, we know who the enemies are, we have never forgotten it, we make them visible. And if Ana Botín says that on March 8 of this year he has put a veneer on the tip of his nose, no, it's not because feminism has failed in speech, it's not because it doesn't highlight the class oppression factor, it's not because we want to fight along with booty. We don’t believe in the lie of “liberal feminism,” you know so much. You even get bored to give him explanations.
Please, the next one that comes around for bidegorri to despise one of the strongest mobilizations of recent years. The bouquets were out of place, but the bunches of advice shocked us in the head.

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.
In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]
It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]
In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]
They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]
Uwa, kamsá, tukuná, uitoto, tikun, embera, nasa/yuwe, nuka, sikuani, siano, macuna, yuruti, kichwa, achagua, bora, truncar. These are some of the languages spoken in Colombia. Unfortunately, when I lived in Colombia, in Cundinamarca, I did not have the opportunity to learn our... [+]
At the beginning of the course, the elections should be the main event on the UPV/EHU information agenda. At the School of Social Sciences and Communication, we also have a double appointment, as the assembly of our center will also be elected in October. It opens up the... [+]
I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]
Aware of the importance of ideology in political behaviour, we Basques must pay particular attention to the issue of our ideology, since within the framework of a concrete ideological location it is always decided what to do, what not to do, how, with whom, against whom, etc... [+]
It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.
I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
