Builders

We don't come from scratch, we're not dust. The Basques, fortunately, have a scientific and theoretical basis that surrounds and supports our nation. Throughout the 20th century we have had great teachers who have admirably materialized the architecture and design of the nation. Today we have to bring their contributions to the table.

If the backbone of a nation is the language, from there it was launched to Salamanca in 1958 Koldo Mitxelena, to give the first university chair to the Basque country and, at the years, to prepare the bases of the dialectic coine or the unified Basque country. Twenty years earlier, Mitxelena himself got rid of the death penalty of the Francoists, using the extreme thinness of the time (symbol of the situation of the Basque Country), which would be the unified muscle of the Basque Country. Txillardegi took the Sorbonne of Paris first and the UCLA of Los Angeles later as study centers, and upon returning to the town he deduced with complete theoretical foundation that the Basque Country, and even the Basque Country, must necessarily be a state of its own if it wants to live. Joxe Azurmendi, after his triumph in Arantzazu, became an eminent philosopher and thinker at the University of Münster in Rhineland, Germany. He has supported Basque thinking and has shown that Spanish thinking, if it is not exactly the same word oximorone, is at least very weak and fraught with contradictions, deteriorated by unfounded supremacism and by sasiphilosophical counterfeiting. Gabriel Aresti did not have to leave his house, because the metropolis of the Basque Country, Bilbao, offered him the theoretical and practical possibility of building a Basque nation, after a clash of social classes, to conclude that Antón and Gillen must join in the same project.

"We have to map the path to independence with precision and make the path without tangling in the networks of the current political system"

The architecture of the Basque nation was offered to us in an unfinished, scientific, academic, ethical and aesthetic manner. We need you to bring it to us in a political way, we need it. We builders didn't guess it. Why?

Like snakes, Franco became a jellyfish for transition, abandoning the skin of before. The view of the renewed snake has captivated political organizations that once stood in the anti-Franco era, and both Spanish socialism and traditional Basque nationalism have turned the camp into the Spanish State, rejecting the new house, either the republic or independence. The new patriotism risked for a long time in our country, thinking that force may be the condition of a painful but effective birth, and has had to confess, with mourning and regret, that this dark state is even stronger and that it uses the darkest forces without complexes, whether it be state terrorism, systematic torture or arbitrary imprisonment, to impose its unwarranted unbargaining. Because they cannot give way to democratic reason without, therefore, opening the door to the dissolution of the state itself.

So what do you do? The design given to us by the architects of the nation is there, and its theoretical and democratic superiority is undeniable today. The Basques are right, as the Catalans are right in their favour on the path of independence. But to make this design a reality, we need proper builders. We must map out the path to independence with precision and make the way untangled in the networks of the current political system. Get on the way to the way of the Catalan independentists, for example, in Scotland or in Ireland, as the builders who are on the same path. A path towards independence in the Basque Country. Not symbolic or aspect. To get your own house.

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

Systems of Life

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]

Benito, alchemist of our emotions

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]

A bunch of knot-nails.

There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.

Vulnerable children: institutional violence in our context

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
