I remember that friends are the most important thing in this life,” I read not so much in a book. Or that's what I remember, I don't know exactly what I was saying. Well, the important thing I don't know, but the precious good, in many of us scarce, and so what you have to take care of is like a back.
Whatsapp groups – or Telegram – receive discriminatory content in the form of a joke or meme, and campaigns are carried out so that we do not divulge them and even to reproach the sender for their dissemination. For example, if a group member sends a sexist content, the campaign suggests what we can do. Of course, it seems to me a relatively simple exercise not to extend the message. Another thing is to rebuke the sender, often his friend, or to pause the voter who has formed in the group. This is violent and can change some relationships, usually to wear out, not to consolidate. Fortunately, I do not receive such messages in the whatsapp groups, according to my standards.
The already classic song "Killing in the name" by the American group Rage Against The Machine insists on "And now you do what they told already." I mean, more or less, and being the insignificant translation for this column, "and now you do what they told you."
You answer with a cigarette Irriño, because you don't want to love the environment too much, because it's three in the morning, and you don't want to scream "I'm not in favor of the death penalty" in the ear
Well, when I was with a Basque friend who didn't know much before, within a few hours of a normal night, they put that song in the bar, out loud. One day, the chorus came and approached my friend, and made me hear by complicity the variant they used in my crew: "Let them run Atutxa! ".
It's probably not the best-known game of words with this chorus, but I also knew that kind of mondegres that were purposely adapted, and pretty twisted. I suppose it is a gesture to the former President of the Basque Parliament, Juan Mari, who is turning the doors, but for Itxaso, Chairman of the Bizkai Buru Batzar, it would be worth the same. Or why not, for the same price, for the pack of both. Two birds with one shot.
And you respond with a zuztarbar, because you don't want to love the environment too much, because it's three in the morning, and you don't say, "I'm not in favor of the death penalty!" scream in the ear along with a confusing negative gesture, because you're worried about your friend's reaction. Because maybe the answer is silence, silence that doesn't know how long it's going to last. Like when you say something in a Whatsapp group – or Telegram – and nobody responds.

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
With the new year we are... [+]
Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]
A couple of weeks ago, a number of data from Norway was published. In this country of Northern Europe electric cars have predominated, being the Tesla brand the most sold, with 90% of recyclable energy consumed there. On the contrary, Norwegian public enterprises have no problem... [+]
These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
