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...).

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]
Bagira prozesuaren emaitza, Herri bidea bide-orria izan zen. Bide-orri honetan, abertzaleen helburua herriari boterea itzultzea dela aipatzen da, eta boterea itzultzeko, herriari burujabetza maila maximoa emanen dioten instituzioak herriari eskaintzea adierazten da. Zehazten da... [+]
The Municipal Police of Donostia-San Sebastián has not yet solved the lack of staff in its staff. During the summer the workforce has been strengthened by the hiring of dozens of local police officers to meet the different needs and services that emerge during the summer in a... [+]
The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]
The sun has risen for the fourth time in the besieged area of the Baiona festivities and I believe that in this northern Basque Country we breathe better, especially because our three Members are from the New People’s Front and we have relegated the third place to the black... [+]

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]
I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]
I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]
Despite the fact that two centuries have passed, the problem of La Plutónica cannot be allowed to fade in the well of oblivion. In addition to 200 years ago to learn about the history of La Plutónica, we must go back to the other side of the ocean, Montevideo.

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
