In the following lines, I come to give my opinion on the Basque education system, on the stir caused by the attack that once again (some) have launched on the Ikastola, or by the excuse. I am not going to deny the debate, I am bored. Debates, or levels of debate. From where it comes, from what framework the problem is analyzed, what (weak) argument is used to deal with the aggressions, or how and where the proposals are made to overcome this classical controversy.

However, or perhaps for that very reason, I too would like to bring to the debate my little thought. Although I really think it's very basic what I have to tell you. So much, I don't know what I should feel. Shame because you think that what you should know is that there may be a contribution. For despair, for knowing that what you already need to know is a contribution.

Let's start with the statement that unites us all. We are all in favour of the Basque public school, of course. The problem is that we do not have it, that it does not exist, and what is worse, that it will be impossible for us as long as our situation of dependency lasts, because the lack of sovereignty has as a direct consequence the lack of competence in fundamental areas, and it is one of them, of course, that of education. It is a matter of life and death for a people to be able to design the education of younger generations, because, among other things, the survival of that people is at stake. So, serious question. Does someone really think that we have authority over such a mission?

Even if it is called that, it is not the real Basque public school that we know now and here. But well, just as the Basque Government is not the government of the Basques, or parliament is not the real place where our laws are made, I do not know how to say it. It is not the education that we Basques have created to respond to our needs, but an autonomous version of what Spain has built for itself. Given with the name in Basque, yes, and in Basque. But we will gently devour the hook of assimilation. And delve deeper, message.

The ikastolas emerged with the intention of fulfilling the function of the national school of the Basque Country. The vacuum of a proper education system was more evident than now, Spain and France did not camouflage as much as they did now what they really wanted to achieve through their education, and we could still forget the risks involved in strangeness. Apparently, we didn't have the ability to react as damaged as we are now, and we had the necessary immune system to protect us. The truth is that we were able to sow the seed of our own educational system at the time of the first Franco regime.

But on the road to sovereignty, it is not enough just to have the capacity to take initiative. Victories are necessary to frame them in a more global national strategy, if it does not take enemies and capitalist them for itself, as the history of the ikastolas has taught us. I don't think there's a lot of difference between studying at Orio's ikastola or Orio's school. No matter what a child will learn in the Bera ikastola or the Hendaya ikastola. In the end, they are integrated into the same administrations at one level or another, and it is the same states that demand accounts, academic, economic and otherwise. That's a trap.

Let's leave the paths of partial struggles that seem easy, because they're sterile. And we address the safe path of resistance and national liberation. Believe me, let's spend only on that energy.
