At the end of the Bertsolaris Navarra Championship, we have included in our memory the image presented by the newspapers, a hug between the new champion Saioa Alkaiza and Estitxu Arozena. The architect's look will focus his attention on the setting of the Fraternity, on the colorful graphics of the bertsolaris liver, on the design of the seats, on the use of light bulbs, on the material of the ground... But as I look more closely, I have noticed a detail that may have gone unnoticed: the brand that appears in the micra advertising of the bertsolaris, known seller of construction material.
This building materials store is usually located in commercial centers of urban suburbs, on a large scale, with a wide range of materials related to the construction of the house, from cements and insulators to garden and bathroom accessories, and ensures economic prices.
Inside the shop there is a predominance of men, plumbers, electricians… The unions dedicated to construction are masculine. Here's a male subworld of prolethargy. Along with the men’s tasks, to attract women, there are decorative objects from the house, an undesigned alternative to the well-known Swedish brand.
Besides the construction professionals, it is possible to find lovers of DIY. DIY is not widespread in our country in relation to France. The person wanting to prepare with his hands a corner of the house has a curious profile, if it is an activity of enjoyment beyond saving money. The person who works in this “do it yourself” will say that they are the veneers of construction, decreasing its importance, but self-knowledge is a solid exercise, which absorbs from collective knowledge and constructs verses.
Advertising an event does not have to coincide with its ideology, it can be a source of income. Perhaps Bertsolaris has become a tool to reach “those” that can be felt away, or perhaps no one has thought about it.

The Spanish state would become the dystopian stage of Tejerazo, in 1981. There, the political leaders confined to Congress were "invited" to approve a tacit agreement in which the status quo linked to the monarchic system, the bipartisan political system (establishment of closed... [+]
The new government formation has left many unanswered questions, but it is clear that once again we will have to be firm in betting on the Basque Public School. We were told that, although the same party will govern, we would have new faces, but that has not been entirely true... [+]
We are parents of Euskal Herria, daughters and sons; they are called Maddi, Izei, Dani, Alaitz, Aida or BEÑAT, but they may be Hatem Salem, Awad Muhammad 14 years old, Zakaria Magdy 6 years old or Nour Ahmed 7 years old. They were all killed by Israel in Gaza.
We can't imagine... [+]
After the post-election negotiation phase, PNV and PSE-EE have laid the groundwork for a government agreement between the two to “advance welfare, progress, self-government and transformation of the global Euskadi”. An 11-page document details the commitments and activities... [+]
When we talk publicly about torture, we realize how much society embraces the opinion that the “system” itself puts into effect on this issue. It uses a wide range of ministers and advisers, judges and experts, all with the help of the organic media, of course. And it has to... [+]
If Valeria Vitella, who 2000 years ago offered an altar stone to the Basque goddess Larrahe, raised his head and found himself face to face with Alberto Santana, what would he say? Surely something like this: "What are you talking about?"
First of all, let us look at it. As a... [+]
In recent times we have had in the media Aitor Uriarte, representative of the renewable energy company Solaria, to pay tribute to the benefits of the macro-projects they want to carry out. In the case of the appearance of Radio Euskadi on May 28, I felt a deep shame of the... [+]
The new word that we have heard in recent years: delay. I suspect that there will be changes in place. I only know that of Bilbao, and it seems very simple: those of us who are of an age, we have named ourselves the name of what we did the first night, that is, and, in short, do... [+]
In prisons dependent on the Basque Government, Basque political prisoners have lost a great deal in terms of communication with our family and friends. The number of monthly prefixes is lower and their duration is shorter. So, even if we get closer, we devote less time to the... [+]
An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.
Another: nothing... [+]
On the occasion of the International Day of Sex Workers, a sex worker offered a workshop on 2 June to break the stigma. The colleague addressed a fundamental issue that may not be so present: that one thing is that you do something without permission and something else that is... [+]
The most promising futures are more concerned about the future than the long-term ones. It's the CCCLXIX law of life. It seems like a mouthpiece, but the laws of life I don't write them, but life itself.
That law, like all authentic laws, has exceptions, but what exceptions are,... [+]
The other day I wrote a message to META. Say, I thought and I started to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hasn't slept since then, because it wasn't just any message, I wrote it rather dry. Edge, almost. Through an Instagram video I learned that META will use the information its users share... [+]
