Txepelerías Championship

Antton Olariaga

A friend of Lutxana and I started to remember: pollution, deaths, protests, sirens, spills, more deaths… Scurvy sang in Bizkaia when we were rats. Since we were young, we learned that our lives had no responsibility. Every time there was an industrial reconversion and, as if lindane had stolen our memory, we prefer to forget it.
The deindustrialization process affected the entire state. Conditio sine qua where he was to enter Europe. Because Europe has planned from the outset the division of labour between the Member States. Thus, the Spanish State had to specialize in the tertiary sector and within it in tourism. It is an ideal place with its sun and its paellas, sangria and fiesta… and, of course, with all the brothels that are involuntarily or voluntarily forgotten in any study. Spain is a leader in the business of prostitution, first in Europe, third in the world.

We all know what tourism means. On the one hand, low wages and great precariousness; temporary contracts, as if we were only eating in the summer season; multiservice companies and imaginative tools of exploitation... On the other hand, the touristic city excludes citizenship, making access to housing impossible. We are suffering in bone pulp throughout the Basque Country: Bilbao, Donostia, coast, Norte…

And there's the Guggenheim, the project flag. They have recently sung the flowers of the 25-year-old business. Money is said to be in abundance… Yes, but in the pockets of hotel owners, investment funds and multinationals. It is.
But let us not forget that tourism is based on mobility. A tourist is a person moving from one place to another. The flood of tourists in recent years has been made possible by the low price of transport and, above all, of flights. Now that we're in the midst of a decline in oil, what? The CEO of Ryanair has already warned that cheap flights are over. And it's not something cyclical or war, but one of the causes of war is the shortage of raw materials.

All of this starts to be affected, for example, when we fill the deposit. We look at heating with fear, but we should be more afraid to know that not having to turn it on is still the direct fault of the climatic
change tico.Hemos overcome the physical limits of the Earth and that is not back. You can't get out of the place where you're not. And this will lead to an earthquake that we cannot foresee in the whole socio-economic structure. Meanwhile, they remain committed to building another Guggenheim. A very crazy proposal: to keep pulling away a business that ends, unless in the middle of a biosphere reserve. But what is this, the Chepery Championship?

We've learned it from a young age. Our lives don't worry that the capitalist system is painted with green, violet or any color. Nor do they have any responsibility for the authorities whose main objective is to protect this system.

We should be prepared for the next juncture. Time is relative but not indefinite. We will have to do a more profound remodeling than that imposed on us at the end of the last century. On this occasion it is indispensable and inevitable. They know that too, but asking honesty is too much.

Finals on the horizon

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?

Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]

Health workers against the Basque Country, health workers against patients

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

The new reference platform is “United by a Real... [+]


It's not the only elephant in the class.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]

Stress test

The sun has risen for the fourth time in the besieged area of the Baiona festivities and I believe that in this northern Basque Country we breathe better, especially because our three Members are from the New People’s Front and we have relegated the third place to the black... [+]

Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Good tail

I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]

Educating attention

I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]

The case 'La Plutónica'

Despite the fact that two centuries have passed, the problem of La Plutónica cannot be allowed to fade in the well of oblivion. In addition to 200 years ago to learn about the history of La Plutónica, we must go back to the other side of the ocean, Montevideo.

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
