Poverty, the destiny of our youth?
- If there is no fundamental change in the economic situation and in the quality of employment, today’s youth will be affected by poverty and social exclusion. The statistics and research that have appeared in recent times in the Spanish State indicate this. Unfortunately, we do not have any concrete data on the situation in Hego Euskal Herria.
Statistics indicate that, despite the increase in the employment rate at the state level, new generations do not enjoy better contracts and guarantees, and are still unable to become independent. Contracts have a duration of one day or, at most, one week, and in this environment of precariousness we try to survive. Between 16 and 29 years of age, wages have fallen sharply and prevented these people from carrying out a life project, as average wages range from 8,000 to 16,000 euros. Only 8% of young people between the ages of 20 and 24 leave home, while in Europe the average is 30%. At the threshold of 25-29 years, 39% of people moving from their homes to 59% in Europe. And what's worse, this collective of over six million people is lagging socially behind. Almost four out of ten young people are at risk of poverty.
The situation is serious and the public authorities would have to show more commitments in the search for a solution. A society that does not have a strong, dynamic and innovative youth has no future, more if it is based on imbalance. Society itself needs to be changed so that young people can move forward in it. To this end, it is necessary to build an economic and political system that defends justice, equality and solidarity.
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.

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... [+]
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... [+]
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... [+]
Japan, 8th century. In the middle of the Nara Era they began to use the term furoshiki, but until the Edo Era (XVII-XIX. the 20th century) did not spread. Furoshiki is the art of collecting objects in ovens, but its etymology makes its origin clear: furo means bath and shiki... [+]
