ANTTON OLARIAGA.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Without environments, I'm going to get into the whole thing: public school supporters are being very nice to discuss a few things. Seriously, what is happening with the concerted centres is unacceptable. We are trying to argue with rigour and honesty, as if we were in a debate of different and legitimate views. But in Zeus, we are not! Formally yes, you know, everyone can think whatever they want, including the earth is flat. The view that all opinions are respectable is widespread, but that an opinion is widespread does not make it real.

Faced with arguments, descriptions of facts and data favorable to the public school, some complain: "You are against us." Not especially pigs, from the Christian School, who are quite quiet, passing their fingers intertwined at the tips of their feet, to see if their fists are not exposed, waiting for the storm to pass, to see if the law is applied at once and take as much as possible. Others wear latex gloves up to the elbows and go into digging skis that don't go anywhere. But they don't respond to the data on the table.

Can we really say that this is a debate? Instead of discussing, some are pretending. They have in their favour something far more effective than the arguments: power, authority, parliamentary majority. And they're conscious. They keep their appearance so that neighborhood shame is not stratospheric. There are those who are outraged saying how it is possible that they will beat us against our school. No matter how we show that we are not against any school, that the problem is how we spend public money, and what wonder everyone has to pay, whether it be an Olympic pool or an education in Catholic values. Public resources must be distributed according to criteria of justice and equity, respecting the principle of equality, and precisely to guarantee it, giving more to those who need it most. You cannot turn everything into pure rhetoric, a sign of forgiveness.

Public school supporters are being very nice when we debate some things.

Electoral campaigns, increasingly supported by advertising techniques, are based on arguments that repeat slogans, regardless of what the opposite says. That has done a great deal of damage to us, because a sympathetic debate does not have to take the floor in turn, for you to say yours and I do mine, you care a little bit about what I said and I do the same.

They will tell me that I cannot undermine the views of my opponents because in return I only offer mine. If belief is true, it must apply to everyone. I accept that. That is why I ask you, not me, but you do respond to what the Harro Platform of the Public School of Urola Kosta said at its parliamentary hearing in June. Or the Community of the Basque Public School of Ordizia. Or the ILP representative. Or the Aiaraldea Public Education Platform Bizirik. Or the Federation of Parents' Associations, or Lay Education. Or -- don't all fit me! We are proud of public school, yes, but I am especially proud to be with those bits of women and men who put work, time, effort, relief, patience, thought, heart, soul and joy for the well-being of all. No rhetorical tricks or marketing techniques, against the current, far from compulsive individualism that drowns us. That is auzolan! It is a great pity that winning the debate does not affect public policies. But that's not in our hands right now.

Is everything tied and well tied?

The Spanish state would become the dystopian stage of Tejerazo, in 1981. There, the political leaders confined to Congress were "invited" to approve a tacit agreement in which the status quo linked to the monarchic system, the bipartisan political system (establishment of closed... [+]


The sun burns the house
Tourists have filled apartments and hotels with exorbitant prices. And you in your parents' home, desperate, while big companies and speculators put rental to the test.

Head by neck

The new government formation has left many unanswered questions, but it is clear that once again we will have to be firm in betting on the Basque Public School. We were told that, although the same party will govern, we would have new faces, but that has not been entirely true... [+]


20 June Joint Initiative for Palestinian Children and Adolescents in Schools

We are parents of Euskal Herria, daughters and sons; they are called Maddi, Izei, Dani, Alaitz, Aida or BEÑAT, but they may be Hatem Salem, Awad Muhammad 14 years old, Zakaria Magdy 6 years old or Nour Ahmed 7 years old. They were all killed by Israel in Gaza.

We can't imagine... [+]

People in the center

After the post-election negotiation phase, PNV and PSE-EE have laid the groundwork for a government agreement between the two to “advance welfare, progress, self-government and transformation of the global Euskadi”. An 11-page document details the commitments and activities... [+]

Solitude of the tortured

When we talk publicly about torture, we realize how much society embraces the opinion that the “system” itself puts into effect on this issue. It uses a wide range of ministers and advisers, judges and experts, all with the help of the organic media, of course. And it has to... [+]

How many are too many and enough?
What are our real needs to live well? What is living well? Answering these questions is fundamental in the society of abuse, even more so in times of climate emergency, ecological crisis and civilizing crisis.

Late Spanish

If Valeria Vitella, who 2000 years ago offered an altar stone to the Basque goddess Larrahe, raised his head and found himself face to face with Alberto Santana, what would he say? Surely something like this: "What are you talking about?"

First of all, let us look at it. As a... [+]


Public propaganda instruments of private companies

In recent times we have had in the media Aitor Uriarte, representative of the renewable energy company Solaria, to pay tribute to the benefits of the macro-projects they want to carry out. In the case of the appearance of Radio Euskadi on May 28, I felt a deep shame of the... [+]

Tardeo

The new word that we have heard in recent years: delay. I suspect that there will be changes in place. I only know that of Bilbao, and it seems very simple: those of us who are of an age, we have named ourselves the name of what we did the first night, that is, and, in short, do... [+]


No emergency measures!

In prisons dependent on the Basque Government, Basque political prisoners have lost a great deal in terms of communication with our family and friends. The number of monthly prefixes is lower and their duration is shorter. So, even if we get closer, we devote less time to the... [+]


Taste is mine

An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.

Another: nothing... [+]


Appointment

On the occasion of the International Day of Sex Workers, a sex worker offered a workshop on 2 June to break the stigma. The colleague addressed a fundamental issue that may not be so present: that one thing is that you do something without permission and something else that is... [+]


The Laws of Life

The most promising futures are more concerned about the future than the long-term ones. It's the CCCLXIX law of life. It seems like a mouthpiece, but the laws of life I don't write them, but life itself.

That law, like all authentic laws, has exceptions, but what exceptions are,... [+]


Cumulation

The other day I wrote a message to META. Say, I thought and I started to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hasn't slept since then, because it wasn't just any message, I wrote it rather dry. Edge, almost. Through an Instagram video I learned that META will use the information its users share... [+]
