Collision against purple bleaching
On February 2, 2018, the kazkaba through the streets of Donostia-San Sebastián with a loud noise. The Euskal Herria Feminist Movement calls for a feminist strike on March 8. This was a recognition of the struggle of the cigarreros of Tabakalera: dozens of women*, witnesses of the media, occupied the public space and, immediately, with the aim of curbing the careless, the security officers of the international center of contemporary culture and some responsible for the unauthorized plaza approached the area. However, they did not manage to curb that collective force, nor to silence what we had to say with our own voice. From a strategic point of our feminist genealogical, in action of collective self-esteem, we manifest our intention to strike in tasks of care, employment, school environment and consumption. Last year, we stood up and made history.
On January 16, 2019 we are spring winter and, contrary to contradictions, we celebrate it hugged by the sun at the door of the Shock Feminist Pole of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Literally, there were those who are going to publicly announce that we stand before a heteropatriarchate capitalist and want to continue to take advantage of the system that oppresses us. Before going to the press, with the complicity of the Municipal Police of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Iberdrola cut the light to the complicity of women*, ranchers and trans, two months before and to the feminist space liberated for communist use.
Since then and until the day of the feminist strike, political and employer representatives have struggled to obtain the largest number of purple dots. Without responding to the political, social and economic demands we have made to put an end to privileges and to work on the path of the liberation of all oppressions, abandoning our program in intimacy and selectively ordering the doses of repression: eviction of the shock, arrests, blows, access to portals and more than sixty identifications.
This year we held a feminist strike with the aim of achieving twenty-eight measures. Feminists know where we're coming from and where we're going. In the coming months we will dare to play our role: hitting the purple bleaching, getting the material conditions to put lives in the centre, organizing the feminist self-defense against the right-wing offensive, with the popular construction from the bottom up, and knowing that if we do not do all of the above will be in vain, voting responsibly.

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... [+]
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... [+]

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.

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... [+]
