Psychopolitics
What affects us when we vote? What ideas, intentions and emotions are there? Veiled political thoughts or elaborate considerations that reflect deeply and then unfold deep roots in our thinking? That we do not know where we have received the beliefs that we collect, as the French mold says, a certain ideology that we share with others or that we collect them without talking to anyone? The clear ideas that define our environment, our life, our society, how we want, or the sensations that make us harder or weaker in the bowels?
What do we think is more important to the citizens? The promises decorated or the omniscient programs that promise us the well-being of each and every one of us? What are we headed for? To the ingenious content of party programs or to the beauty of the aesthetics of campaigns? To the ideas that the parties proclaim or to the candidates they propose to us?
And for parties, what's more important? Visions and desires of affiliates or requests and conditions of voters? What role do the states of leaders, ambitious ambitions and personalisms play in the organisation of parties?
And, on the other hand, to what extent are other factors relevant, how far do they act? Does the ethical parameters of elected parties and positions, for example, affect in a similar way on the left and right? How, in how much, do we citizens value the management of public affairs and how, in how much, do we value the peaceful or conflicting positions of the parties in the political debate? How do we take into account, when voting, the symbolic qualities of the pragmatic themes or values of business?
To what extent are the specific – punctual, good and bad – conditions, collective circumstances and the potential expectations of citizens decisive? And to what extent, beliefs, cultural traditions or forms of consumption and even the media content we acquire?
Is it possible to measure all of them, beyond the thoughts and emotions that some ancient philosophies considered to be pure illusion?
Or is it necessary, condemnations and curses, to lose ourselves in the whirlwind of dreams, intentions, impressions and impressions that the system sells to us every four years?
If Navarre had advanced the 2015 change, I would certainly not have asked such questions (and instead I would have referred to the exciting challenges of the future...).

The day of the pastor of Huarte explained that Euskal Herria has been awarded the recognition to participate in international sheepcutting competitions. The officiality occurred at the 2023 World Championships in Scotland, as a result of the dossier presented by the Basque mozas... [+]
Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
In the meetings we get together of everything, and the meetings characterize us at the moment when everyone has their role, their power (or their lack), their age, their vital moment. But there are always those who calm down. Lete was singing to us that when we were older, we... [+]
Perhaps one of the weaknesses of human beings is the tendency we have to listen to and care for the majority. It has certainly been an important feature of the development of our species and necessary for survival. But with digitalization, that characteristic that we have makes... [+]

You're in the bar, in the bar, asking. At the counter, other people too. It will soon take your turn, but the servant has not asked you what you want, he has saved you and he has taken care of the man who has come behind you. You have a stupid face and you want to draw the... [+]
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of... [+]
Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to... [+]
Being is doing. This is what the Durango Fair says this year, and it is true, at least in the case of the fair itself and taking into account Euskal Herria. This edition is already the 59th edition of the Azoka, and the fact that each year is celebrated shows that the Durango... [+]
In Bilbao, I worked for five years with groups at risk of exclusion around the digital divide, especially with women. Along the way, I came across machistan violence and many other problems. In a very organic way, I began to relate to myself and to understand the work of the... [+]
