If Spain is the source of our problems...

PAULA ESTÉVEZ

How can we think that the solution to our problems can be?

And in that sense, how can Basque politicians want to be in the Spanish Congress? Or what is more worrying, how is it possible that they continue to have the vote, credibility and confidence of the Basque citizenship? What am I going to tell you, I am not convinced. Shame neighborhood.

Of course, I am referring to independence, to our State’s national recovery strategy, to sovereignty, that was our problem, right? Eliminate the occupation of Spaniards (and French), oppression, etc., I do not know if you remember, because they have become ideas that are not even expert. This sadness.

Still. When they have done everything, a thousand times, of course, over the centuries, but also over the last 50 years, after the change of dictatorship and the intrigue of democracy, what has the Basque People received in exchange for swallowing the hook and participating in it? Have we not yet learned that there is no way there? Well, yes, there is, but there is assimilation, integration, loss of our principles, disintegration. End.

We give a sorry spectacle. Repeatedly disturbed by the injustices that Spain makes us, still surprisingly surprised, as if more could be expected of them, but a perverse patisation with the Spanish forces. It is already unbearable to me that recurrent and naïve victimization of the people that becomes such a rare offer of collaboration. Annoying.

For each of your votes legitimises the imperialist regime of occupation, thus giving a democratic recognition that we should never do

Someone will come by saying that there are other things in the game, and that is why, even if only, you have to participate in the votes to the Spanish Congress. Well, all right, let those who believe they are going go, but then let them not come crying with the usual midwife, who are very bad, who have not complied with what has been agreed, who have made our urine in our eye, and that blah blah. And you know why? Because each of your votes legitimises the imperialist regime of occupation, thus giving democratic recognition that we should never do. Tori, here you go, gift.

In pursuit of this objective, Spain invites us to those general elections that would only need for the Spaniards. Because our participation supposes the legitimacy of the occupied subaltern people and revolutionizes the nature of the public image that comes from our relationship: from domination to communion. From the international conflict between a dominant and dominated State to a purely national question. From having the status of occupied State to becoming a weak nation that is Spanish but wants to stop being Spanish. Even the Spaniards would not imagine such a round play, to be able to justify its character at such a cheap price.

Because I am not Spanish, I am not going to take part in the votes to the Spanish Congress, it is, it is simple. In exchange for the supposed privilege of being able to choose the next imperialist who manages domination over us, which is obviously a truffle, because I would be giving my oppressor the label of democracy, and because that would mean giving up our first principles directly.

Abstention and boycott are the natural gestures that, in the face of occupation, should spontaneously leave the dominated peoples; that of resistance, dignity, the right ideological position, and the essential starting point for a national strategy. Let's see.

Finals on the horizon

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?

Health workers against the Basque Country, health workers against patients

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
