Will forgetfulness kill us?

March has become my month of reflection, remembrance and pain since 1999. Dirty war, torture, imprisonment and impunity have been trapped in time. Over the years, there has been an increase in the types of repression, including questions. But the answers and truths hidden in the massifs of the Spanish State.

Some events in March of this year have led me to reflect on the use and survival of state violence. That is, how different authorities and governments use the ownership of oppression in the system, against a collective, community or people, also in different conflicts, contexts and times, such as state violence, strategy and political destruction.

Women and those read as women have suffered for centuries the structural violence that has condemned us to death. Today we are aware that this patriarchal domination is also racist and kills migrants in prisons and at the borders imposed in the Basque Country. And he is still dying in the Basque conflict. Not only in prisons, but in deportation and flight. I am referring to disappearances. Social and political death.

Social and political death often precedes the physicist. Invisibility, patriarchy, racism… To develop structural violence we work the ground before

In fact, it often comes before physical death. Invisibility, devaluation, patriarchy, racism… To develop structural violence, the ground has been worked on before. Eliminating, dehumanizing or criminalising those people killed to justify, legitimizing all violence against them. How do we understand the attitude towards dead black people at sea and at borders? Male murders of women*? The lack of clarification and recognition of systematic torture in the Basque Country? Or that not half of the murders committed by the dirty state war know who has committed them? This would be called political death: revenge, hide the truth, and eliminate all political values, turning the murdered into monsters and doomed to oblivion. They have the monopoly of violence, killed by violent and democratizing the violent.

I therefore consider it essential to remember resistance. Organizing pain, naming murders, quantifying them and putting denunciation on the political agenda as has been done since the feminist movement. To fight for truth as a people and their subsequent recognition. His name and existence are claimed. For memory to have a place, not only in our hearts and memories, but also in the collective memory of Euskal Herria. Let the next generations know the truth of our people! If not, forgetting will kill us altogether.

Locust strike in Zaballa

Since we were transferred to Euskal Herria from the prisons of the Spanish State, in the prison of Zaballa we have found many deficiencies in the field of communication. We have fewer and shorter face-to-face contacts, we have had to make visits to the speaker in poor technical... [+]


Music died (*we had) the day

On August 26, I woke up as if it were a normal Monday, I rose from bed and, with my arms overflowing, I woke up. But as soon as I got to the hallway, I knew that that wasn't one of those monotonous, heartless Monday forever. I found my parents in front of the computer reading the... [+]

Russia invaded

Kursk is a historic region of Russia. He lived in peace until 6 August, when the Ukrainian army entered the city. About 15,000 men entered. Hundreds of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, air defense radars… the most modern weapons that exist today, brought from all... [+]


Technology
All power

There are several people to study, including Elon Musk. The idea of freedom that they have seems to come from the need to control everything, to have all the power, because being all the power is easier to create business, there is no discussion; the hegemonic models grow with... [+]

Hysterical materialism

Baserritarras holidays

Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.

For the health and... [+]

The art of raising your hand

The Assyrian and Babylonian students did not know the art of raising their hand. It took centuries, and maybe a few millennia, for a student at an Egyptian school, who wanted to ask him something, to try to raise his hand: the teacher who gave an explanation, and the student,... [+]

Open letter to the Education Counsellor (and II)

Dear Mrs:

How about summer? I hope. On this occasion, I will go to the point, with your permission.

As you know, coming into the competitive logic of ultra-liberal markets, educational institutions must implement all kinds of "projects". You should know that many of them do not... [+]

Happy New Year

It is not Christmas, however, there will soon be decorations in the big shops to announce it, or at least they say so. In the shop window “Zorionak! Claims like “Gabon ederra passes!” will be exposed everywhere. However, congratulations can be many: the lottery, bringing a... [+]
