The G7 and its world on the street!
The G7 will meet in Biarritz, therefore, in the Basque Country, on 24, 25 and 26 August. In a people that is still politically denied, divided and claiming its sovereignty. Resistance to the system in a territory where solidarity survives and experiences abound to generate alternatives.
For the people of Biarritz, the G7 is a good option for some sections of society and elected representatives of Iparralde, both in economic and advertising terms. How do you rejoice at the arrival of the lords? How do you applaud this event that is becoming a Macron communication operation? Or the visit of a crazy leader like Trump, who denies climate change, who develops a racist discourse, promotes trade war and stimulates international tensions? What this summit will bring above all is appearing week by week, according to information about the organisation: situation of militarization and site, risk of police violence, limitation of the influx of citizens, temporary restriction of rights, right to demonstrate, among others.
35 popular movements, unions and leftist parties from all over Euskal Herria NO G7! have formed
a platform and have started working to make the arrival of the
G7 an opportunity to reclaim and demonstrate the urgency
of another world in the
Basque Country
The G7 historically brings together the peoples that are the backbone of imperialism. It's a closed, exclusive group. It was designed informally to influence the global agenda, but from the outset it has been designed to safeguard and protect the interests of the dominant and multinational classes. This summit inevitably calls upon us beyond the local political agenda, as citizens, as leftists, as Abertzales, as ecologists, as anti-capitalist ... There is no doubt that lifting the balance against the major world leaders will be as fair as necessary, seeing the increase in injustices, international tensions and serious environmental challenges. One of the main functions of civil society is to make the voice of the people heard to denounce what governments, even if they choose through the ballot box, do or do not do wrong, what they should do.
35 popular movements, unions and leftist parties from all over Euskal Herria NO G7! They have formed a platform and have begun to work to make the arrival of the G7 an opportunity to reclaim and show the need for another world in Euskal Herria, in collaboration with other international actors. Denounce the policies of these states and demand immediate measures in different areas: social inequalities, climate change, ecological problems, tax havens or policies against migrants. And beyond capitalism, to reclaim other logics, priorities and alternatives and to defend the right of peoples to self-determination.

There are many ways to gain power; not all are beautiful. There are those who want to divide the power and the responsibility that it entails with it, who seek authority. Others have a lot of respect for him and the fact that each step is so measured makes them unable to make a... [+]

On February 3rd, the time has begun to pre-enroll our children and young people in schools, and as every year we would like to remind you why we do not think it is a good idea to enroll them in religion. Last year we finished the article saying that “many of you will be... [+]

Bai, bai, holaxe. Ez naiz harago joatera menturatzen. Pleonasmo bat dela? Tautologia bat agian? Baliteke, baina egia-oste deitzen dioten garai honetan, oinarri-oinarrizko egitateak beharrezkoak dira. Begira, bestela, “Ez da ez!” lelo indartsuari. Bagenekien hori... [+]
I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]
Azken boladan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu gazte askok etxebizitza erosteko ahalmenik ez dugula. Batzuetan, badirudi ez dagoela beste gairik; egia da gai serioa dela. Niri neuri ere, 31 gertu izan arren, oraindik pixka bat falta zait neurea izango den etxebizitza lortzeko... [+]

There are concepts that appear everywhere during certain periods, which also become mantras. They appear to us in a positive and necessary way, without too much debate and without thinking about them. It seems to me that one of these mantras is internationalization, which has... [+]
In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
