Children by Spain
Nobody's driving? In Hego Euskal Herria, at least, it seems that the emptying of the Basque souffle does not stop at all.
What today’s children and adolescents see in Basque society is a great assimilation and little contradiction. They don't invent anything from scratch, they perceive and adapt society. And things have changed.
• The use of Euskera decreases in the so-called respiratory areas (also). Children and adolescents in the area (also) go to Spanish before ever. In fact, ETB3 is left by the time it is 4-5 years old, Goazen at 10 years old, and the vast majority consume the rest in Spanish.
• Independence among adults is at the lowest percentages in history. And more serious is that at the level of Euskal Herria it is very weak to weave, culture, economy, relationships, feelings… In sport, for example, the wager on Basque selections has been reduced considerably, and when Basque selections have been replaced by those of the CAV it has been considered a national victory. In any case, in view of this panorama, the children and adolescents of Hego Euskal Herria naturally prefer that Spain win, and even encourage in some cases vehemently. Many parents in the area are drowning our stormy houses, thinking about what we should suffer if it were not for Morocco.
• The other day I told some kids from the Bertsos school that instead of seeing youtubers, they would make youtubers -- in Basque. They looked at me like I was a missionary priest. The goal of a youtuber is to have a lot of followers and visits, therefore, in Basque? So I told them that I would be the fool of the world because as a child I didn't know Euskera and decided not to do my little things in Spanish but in Basque. They didn't dare to respond, but I heard.
In that early ETB, I had never understood Euskera before, I saw cartoons in Euskera, if I was bored with Spanish programming. Later, in the 1990s, many of us did not know Euskera wanted to learn and use Euskera: thus, we saw Goenkale and several films and series folded to Euskera... Meanwhile, the Spanish parties were still in Hala Bedi through UHT, as were the weddings of the infant and the Spanish prince, to do a little laughter in case of flooding.
At a time when everything is fluid and post, there is something solid and palpable: Spain!

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]
The spokeswoman for the new Basque Government, María Ubarretxena, gave the first interview to Euskadi Irratia. During the conversation he referred to his intentions, his general proposals, inevitably, because the government was going on. The tone between the journalist and the... [+]
The eco-social crisis generated by capitalism is causing global unrest across the planet. The "summits" of material and energy resources, establishing limits for growth and accumulation, entail imbalances between nature and society. The crazy wheels of extractivism, climate change... [+]
One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]
Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
The smell asked for a gesture, but since it had not done so (no other smell could be expected), neither did the others. “No, no, they’re not all. There are no living parts, I have not left anyone alive, for example, without lips (have you seen? ). They seemed perfect until... [+]
Close the computer, put on chanclets, stroke with the sun cream. Where are you going on holiday? We've normalized that vacation is going somewhere, because rest needs distance, we say. And when we make the journey, we will become tourists, even if the change of denomination... [+]
Euskera is a port for knowledge and relationships at sea, which is a digital space. With artificial intelligence, it seems that from this port there is the possibility of contact in Basque with everyone. The automation of the Basque Country is a great support for educators... [+]
Conservative mentalities are afraid of the term planning, linking with progressive and even communist political currents, as the new authoritarianisms do today (Milei, Meono, Orban, Aznar, among others). However, the idea of planning is still in good health, at least formally... [+]
The issue of cohesion is today the first responsibility of many governments, public institutions and non-governmental organisations. Indeed, societies with low inequalities more easily generate conditions for economic, social and cultural development, better governance... [+]
The global economy suffered a significant upturn following COVID-19. However, the signs that this increase has reached a stage of exhaustion are clearly conditioned by the climate crisis: the rate of economic growth of the major world powers, productivity is stagnating and... [+]
When I published my first book of poems, they offered me a recital at a university. The musician charged in money and I was given a book about Jorge Oteiza, which I didn't take because I was in my house. This was the first of the unacceptable requests that I have accepted. It was... [+]
The Bilbao City Hall has launched the Low Emissions Zone in June, although fines are not expected to start to be imposed until September. This measure will limit the entry of old vehicles to the bourgeois esplanade of Bilbao from Monday to Friday, according to EiTB. Petrol... [+]
