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.

Our body is a battlefield.

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]


The essential thing is people.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]


Fog

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]


To live in Basque, the Republic of Euskera

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]

When the thirst for profit chokes

The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]


We have argued against the Navarre Energy Plan that does not plan

The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

The reading of the documentation... [+]

Rusophobia before and now (II)

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]


Name and existence of Umandi

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]


Euskera with memory

Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]


Wager on the future

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]

Carriers also have to go to the service

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]


Tools and training

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]


Technology
Depleting human creation?

We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]

Territory and architecture
Data to the territory

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]


Hysterical materialism
To live

Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
