OK, let's talk about migration.

PAULA ESTÉVEZ

The debate has brought a long line. Not only in writings, but also in companions and remittances. Sometimes flammable. And it's no less. Right. We have to talk about this.

Migration will only increase in the coming years. The system, engulfed in its multiple crises and contradictions, is becoming a savage wounded and will make its bite more demanding.

Migration is the most painful phenomenon in the countries and societies of origin. “Nobody leaves their house without turning it into a mouth shark,” says the Somali poet Warsan Shire. It reminds me, “It is hard to leave your land of origin who has its roots.”

The causes must be resolved. Of course. But that, for example, is nothing more than a pretension, because we are talking about stopping all the machinery of capitalism. And as we get Heracles' job, what? Close doors? OK. But without hypocrisy. We will completely close, for raw materials, food, fertilizers and energy, as well as for the tonnes of waste we export. Cold and hunger in a short time would be dead all over Europe, drowned in cocoa.

Close doors? OK. But without hypocrisy. We will fully close, also for raw materials, food, fertilizers and energy, as well as for the tonnes of waste we export.

We are not the ones who move the strings of this machinery, but we profit from the spur there. The computer or mobile with which you are reading this article, which I am writing, is a witness to its coltan, tantalum, tungsten, etc. We fashion “healthy superfoods” in the Global North and then throw people out of their lands. Not to mention the clothes we wear. And no, it's not about taking the silver out of the mesanocho, but we are also part of that machinery.

“Just what we have here” will tell me more than one. It's possible. Let us therefore consider what measures can be taken here to achieve better conditions, all.

Migration is used to reduce working conditions. OK. The way to avoid this is not, among other things, to guarantee all the rights of all these people so that they are not obliged to accept any work in any situation? So that they do not have the sword of Damocles on their heads for being in an irregular situation?

We work more and more hours and the gap with the rich is widening. One of the keys is the distribution of work (and wealth). Old, but fundamental. For all of us to work, for us to leave capitalism without reserve weapons and, furthermore, for us to be enlightened less hours. Everybody.

On the other hand, comparing the national struggle with those who have come from other countries is a false and interested choice as “good doctor or euskaldun”. I'm sure in cities there are more problems with conformation, but I look around and I know my neighbors, friends, colleagues, family. Compatriots who know me, in two words. We are united. Don't say everyone is the Other.

The influence of migration in our country is an unquestionable reality. The question is how we characterize this phenomenon that will not be interrupted. If we see these compatriots as a danger, we will point them out as guilty, but if we see migration as a difficulty, we should bear the responsibility of facing that difficulty on our shoulders.

The first is the simplest route and feeds sociological fascism. It prepares on the table two of its main tools: the separation between “us” and “them” between the oppressed and the conversion of the victims into executioners.

When we are unable to

He forgives the oak trees, oak trees, oaks, herons, strawberries, dressings, chestnuts, birch, gorostidias, chamomiles, pine trees and all the societies of the trees, but today the hayedo has a date on the occasion of the celebrations of the winter border.

Moving us?

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

Laziness

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]

'Humiliadero' of the RGI

I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
