Proud is not €uropride, with optimism
At the time of writing this text, a demonstration called by the LGBTI+ movement of the Basque Country has travelled the streets of the Basque capital. The closing event took place in an atypical location, namely in the Casilda Park, where EPOA (Europride company), the City Hall, the Provincial Council and an association of the city met on weekends. In the Basque media there has been a lot of talk about the reason for this protest (with an emergency call), that is, how we are against the commodification of the struggle, how freedoms and capitalism are misused... So I am not going to extend to that, but to look at things calm and as from the outside – as far as possible – always with a positive perspective.
The LGBTI+ movement was revolutionary at the beginning of 1969, certainly, as we created it in the Basque Country seven years later. We were revolutionaries. And we are. We wanted to revolutionize society. And what queremos.Ya in 1977 claimed a more egalitarian and just society; we sought an alternative to a sexist, machista, heteropratriarcal, classicist and capitalist society. And we're leaving. Gradually, however, throughout the world, part of the movement began to become reformist as rights were recognized. In our country we have maintained the original style, delaying or slowing down the arrival of reformism. But it's matured now, not much. This reality, which is painful for most of us, has its advantages. Here are some of the signs that make me feel hopeful:
1. As we have just said, we have succeeded in provoking a debate on the subject: the subject has not been discussed so much for a long time.
2nd In the mobilizations you see lots of young people. With concern, for years I have not perceived generational relief. I can now retire calmly, because I am convinced that I will continue to work.
3. The EHGAM group, which was born with illusion, mime and affection and has grown for more than four decades, is sick, loose. We have made it emerge with pride. You can say that Harro is what EHGAM was in one day.
4. The system aims to phagocyte the LGBTI+ movement, as it is the best way you know of trying to neutralize everything you don't like. Only the system does it when it sees the wave as dangerous. What we started very small with friends has become a giant, until the system cares for itself.
Mission accomplished. I'm quiet and happy.

Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
