Why we need independence

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Where there is a country or a nation, in this World today, the State of Self is essential to simply ensure the survival of that Nation. The trajectory of the Basques in history has shown us that, and the time we live at the moment shows us even more the need for an independent state.

Why do we need an independent state? Because every state constitutes its own system, centered on the main signs of identity of a particular nation or country. Language, Culture, Territoriality, Shared History, Community Awareness, are the characteristics habituales.Euskal Herria is the Nation to the extent that it shares these characteristics, but at present it does not have its own system of protection of these characteristics and is not in that line. Worse still, Euskal Herria’s own signs of identity are weakening and may be about to be completely lost on this wrong path.

Why do we say that this today is the wrong road? Because in Euskal Herria today we do not have a credible political proposal that would allow us to build an independent state. In fact, the political forces considered to be Basque appear integrated into very different political dynamics. The main political concern of these parties is the type of government formed in Paris or Madrid and the type of relationship established with these rotating governments. The justification for these attitudes is always the need to move forward, and as the only way to achieve this, the need to increase the number of votes of their own. But what happens? Towards these possible tactical objectives, the existing Spanish and French State systems are strengthened, both, and the Basques blur, obscure and end up eliminating the path towards their own system.

The Spanish and French States are structured and closed systems whose main function is to eliminate any other means of creating another independent system within the State.

The fact is that both the Spanish and French States are structured and closed systems, whose main function is to eliminate any other form of creation of independent systems within it. Then, the Basque parties that are integrated into these systems, after all, strengthen these two states and reject the possibility of a Basque state (even if it is said otherwise verbally). The examples are clear: the false “bilingualism” leads the Basque to the hole, because the Spanish melts constitutionally (that is, becomes universal) between the Basques, and the Basque does not. In the organization of the executive and/or legislative power, Basque parties become comparisons, because the dominant political system is state (and the Basque parties have accepted it). In the so-called judicial branch.

This behaviour of the Basque parties is causing a qualitative change in the subjective awareness of Basque nationality. Trapped in this dynamic, the new generations, above all, are losing their own national conscience and perceiving the Spanish or French system as natural in all the central areas of each system: speak Spanish or French naturally, adopt all the cultural expressions of the metropolis, feel comfortable without feeling that these identities are imposed.

The current need to create a new Basque subjectivity through renewed internationalization. Starting from the current crisis situation to the innovative process.

Name and existence of Umandi

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]


Euskera with memory

Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]


Wager on the future

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]

Carriers also have to go to the service

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]

Depleting human creation?

Territory and architecture
Data to the territory

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]


Hysterical materialism
To live

Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]

The Basque farmhouse, a system of exploitation?

The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]

Tools and training

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]


Appeal to Euskalgintza apolítica

The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]


Epistemic injustice in schools?

Among several, one

With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]


Housing scam

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... [+]
