Concerns to stay
In an environment where the present day is fast, here are some of the concerns that have come to stay:
We should take advantage of the renewable polemics generated by the increase in the electricity bill and make the model public. Yes, I know that modern renewables are polluting, but be careful to turn them into useful fosilism fools. It is now the former lacationists who intend to delay the energy transition as much as possible. What is at stake is to change the model in the most planned way possible or to do it in a chaotic way.
Yes, the mantra of digitalization anywhere, but digitalization is “today’s bread and tomorrow’s hunger” (literally). Where do we extract so much copper, nickel or neodymium? The landlords of today are the ones who believe that the Earth is infinite within a few decades.
"We know that
the elites do not relinquish their privileges with sportiness, but in a Europe in which liberal consensuses are being overtaken, the evolution of the workers who represent motorhome freedom thousands of kilometres is yet to be seen"
Moreover, to those of us who live in Hego Euskal Herria, the war in Ukraine has shown us that Algeria is our main supplier of gas, but its gas reserves have decreased considerably. Perhaps in a few years' time we will be told that they have weapons of mass destruction... The worst thing is that the climate has disappeared from the new changes, as if it were not the other side of the energy coin. Furthermore, it seems that a hypothetical nuclear war has opened the door to the idea of killing millions of people. Why worry about climate change? Really, I'm flirting with the Borrell level ...
In the meantime, the disobedience actions of the scientists last week demanding measures from the institutions seemed as admirable as surrealists. Can you imagine that, I don't know, with COVID-19?
The transport strike has shown that our basic needs also depend on oil. The hakes of globalization, you know, and the diesel crisis is drawing our attention… what will the protests and rebellions of the future look like? Reality is too complex to analyze with traditional dichotomous schemes. They will forgive me, but I think the myth of the all-powerful Proletarian Revolution is to oversimplify things.
Before the shortage comes, we should put limits on products such as petrol. We know that the elites do not relinquish their privileges with sportiness, but in a Europe in which liberal consensuses are being overtaken from the right, the evolution of the workers who represent freedom in motorhome thousands of kilometres, or of many of the lefties we have “the need” to travel to the other end of the world, remains to be seen.
In short, how far are we prepared to tighten the rope?
If you have similar concerns, don’t miss this fall’s transformative ecologist days! ;-)

The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]
A father from Bilbao has asked me about the secondary education protocol being developed at the AMPA around mobiles.

Sometimes you make a blessing, and say where you had to say it, for sure, and when you're done, you want to cry loudly. When everything was over, with the affection of the luggage, he gave you a long hug as if he were holding you.
You might once lie down with a colleague you... [+]
Five decades later, we seem to be leaving behind the Washington Consensus. The climate crisis and, above all, the rise of China have reinvented the interest in leadership and the active participation that the country should have in the economy. The former austerity managers,... [+]
Following the complaint against Iñigo Errejón for machista violence, it seems that some have realised that in parties, unions and leftist institutions, women are not free to receive violence from affiliated men. In addition, it has become clear that in these situations some... [+]
Two years ago Urdaibai Guggenheim Stop! Since the creation of the popular platform, Urdaibai is not for sale! We hear the chorus everywhere. On 19 October we met thousands of people in Gernika to reject this project and, in my opinion, there are three main reasons for opposing... [+]
Two weeks ago, the financing of the French radio stations was at issue, as the French Ministry of Culture intended to reduce subsidies to local associations by 35%. At that time, there were about 200 associations in the labour market, including Euskal Irratiak of Iparralde.
