How much sleep?
I've thought if Palestinian children also have this question in their head with our book. How many duels are missing to end the genocide? How many children should Israel kill with the complicity of the states of the world.
Are you going to ask these questions to your mothers? Or won't they have to because they know the answer? Because mothers are irrefutable questions? However, these children and their mothers, and women* in general, will not appear in history. And less as a subject. In everyday or new stories, as nicknames and as victims. Removing their authorship and explaining their pains, their fears, of course, as a result of being born in a crushed people. As if it were a matter of luck or, worse still, as if it were your fault.
Unfortunately, we too know so far. Because our children have been systematically punished and attacked for the struggle of their mothers, fathers, ideas. What the political class and the media call collateral damage, as if it were a chance, but it is structural violence directed at the states and institutions themselves. Children, invisible children and travellers with backpack, ready to respond to these attacks and defend themselves as in Palestine. Being children in the struggle not to steal.

In the illustrations book we wanted to bring to light and recognize some of them. Because these struggles have had no place in our books, in our memory. From us we have wanted to tell the vision and authorship of children, collective resistance, drawing. Because the children of Basque prisoners, refugees and deportees have received the direct consequences of the conflict and have fought directly against them, in their own way. Where everything is forbidden, in prisons where he himself has become a crime, focusing on imagination and love to break the walls. Words, drawings, letters, visits, hugs, becoming resistance and playing together for freedom.
However, these do not come uncultivated. His daughter, a child, because it costs his incarcerated mother to express what she feels. Do not ask internal questions to protect yourself. He needs companions and support. The phrase “I am not alone” represents in the book the need and recognition of care. Even the right words in the letters, trying to put guilt and authorship in place, I have not abandoned him, they have distributed us and we are going to fight together, Mom, and until all political prisoners, refugees and Basque deportees come home.

It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.
If independence had been maintained in most elections, there would be another... [+]

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?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]

I've heard it said that the best tears are the ones that airports see. But I guess it was other tears he said, and not as I've seen during this vacation.

I have to go to the hairdresser,” I thought at the beginning of the course, and I didn’t go. I started with long hair and ended in the same way (halfway down the road I made a mohín and cut a piece of it. Nobody noticed. Neither do I.) It hides me if I lack the gesture and,... [+]

It happens many times to me: look at the news and get nervous. The France revient, they say. Both the France of Le Pen and the Spanish xenophobia and supremacy, as well as the inflatable clowns, rise again and again. Merde revient. As we have heard, a group of workers from... [+]
Until recently, the European Union (EU) was a calm sea. Everything was going well. We all lived quiet. The high-ranking officials were doing their job very well and the Europeans were happy under their orders. From time to time the peasants were going to the street to show their... [+]
Before the elections, it was a motto on everyone’s lips: "We have to put care in the center," he added. Apart from the curious and incorrect statements made by politicians and politicians, I must admit that for a while the subject was at its peak. Both parties and various... [+]
I have not followed the international competition for many years (Olympic Games, World Games…). Indifference, tiredness, pain… and I also get a little rage. And so the alternative I have left is not to see it.
