I just did. I have signed and forwarded a citizen’s claim to the Regional Renewable Energy Plan of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, supporting the initiative of the Euskal Herria Bizirik platform. The platform closely monitors infrastructure and macro-projects to measure their impact on rural areas. And the new document being prepared by the Basque Government, which analyses the possible locations of wind farms and solar installations, says that it is serious because it opens up the possibility of finding possible locations.

Concerns have been raised about the arrival of wind turbines. In Azpeitia and Zestoa a major popular mobilization is underway and the Alavese parks of Azazazeta, Arkamo, Iturrieta, Labraza and Aramaio have raised the banks. And more will come. European funds have set a direction for wind farms and solar installations, and the installation of wind farms seems unstoppable. The award-winning As bestas reveals a situation created by wind farms in rural areas. How can we combine the path of renewable energy with the path of agriculture and livestock that is already in great difficulty? What is the impact of this “clean” energy that will move mainly to cities?

I subscribe to the argument because on the subject of renewable energy we have not opened debate as a territory and the new urban document defines a model: that of large-scale installations. How much energy do we need and how do we calculate while maintaining current demand? Has the self-consumption of energy communities in neighborhoods been studied enough? It has been said that the proximity of the wind power plant allows public management and the democratization of energy, but if it clashes with the protection of the countryside and the environment, how does the equation be solved? How is the acceptable impact defined?

What do the words 'look', 'understand' and 'person' mean?

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]


Newspapers of genocide

They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]

Curiosity

I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.

In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]


The other side of October 12: reflections of resistance

It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]


When we woke up on February 8, 2024, you were hugging the dinosaur.
There are people who "embrace" capitalism without realizing that the problem is in the same system; in the constant search for growth on a limited planet. All forms of intensive energy production are being swallowed up in the world.

Small peoples with life!

In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]

Digitalisation scrap

They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Gordophobia

Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]

Monkey, Salva and Invalid

It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.

I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]


Informative disfocus

Pakito Arriaran and Korta

I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]
