One Summer Chronicle

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.

In summer, we retirees don't tend to be hungry for vacations, and we can calmly analyze everything around us. Here are some issues that surprised me.

Spain. The Euro Cup and the Olympic Games are all over the summer. I have to say beforehand that professional sport competitiveness is not to my liking, but I was surprised to see the blindness and promise of Spain everywhere, also in the Basque Country. I believe that the Basque emotional framework that we had achieved some time ago (sometimes linked to identity, sometimes not) is being removed. We are assuming the gestures of the dominant culture and in our peoples the wild Potra song has been heard normally. My astonishment has led me to wonder whether the social, cultural and Euskaldun community that I love is about to disappear. If so, I would be surprised, but above all lost. I hope it is nothing more than a fashion.

Osakidetza-Basque health service. All summer, I've visited an intimate friend in the hospital. Almost every day I have seen with astonishment the decline of the health system. I knew that Osakidetza was wrong, because I have worked there for the last forty years, but everyday reality has overcome my worst suspicion. Lack of organization, change of permanent physician, clumsy information and communication and, ultimately, dehumanization. I am clear that it is not the responsibility of the workers at all. Heads of service, managers and politicians have been and are responsible for this disaster. On the hottest days of August, patients have stayed in the rooms at 32 degrees. On the contrary, the invisible managers were comfortable in their offices or on their holidays, with air conditioning. After the summer, the fight for public health will resume, but from this emergency situation, the whole of society has to be aware. Without a dignified and effective public health, there is no future in this country.

Single. The Madrid company has come to our people with its dark investment funds, putting a red carpet on the outside. The destructive macro-projects have been presented with the support of many administrations, which has provoked the reaction of this people, who have organised serious and in-depth work against them. This is not surprising, because historically it has been a way of responding to what our peoples have had, but, to my surprise, the political leaders of Álava have not given a strong answer. It's hard to understand why. After the holiday, let us hope to regain its ability to express its political position in the face of the planned destruction.

Surprised, the summer is about to end.

Strategic lines of the Basque Government
If the reading of the Renewable Energy Sector Territorial Plan (PTS EBB) for farmers and livestock farmers was disappointing – and it was – it was not that it was much happier to read the report of responses to 4,217 allegants in this regard in July 2023. It was published on... [+]

Following the Zionist offensive, the interests of the western bourgeoisie

The Israeli imperialist offensive has entered a new phase: bombings in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria; attacks on Iran; attempted invasion of Lebanon… The Zionists have achieved an old goal: Go beyond Palestine and turn the attack into a regional war.

A single place name is sufficient to begin to cite the most serious case of violence against women that has occurred in recent times: In this testing village, a husband has chemically dominated his wife and has abandoned her for ten years to the sexuality of other men,... [+]


A game that never ends

When we were young, we had a thousand games to play on a day-to-day basis. Some of us played running, some of us played with the ball, the dolls, the rubber or the words. There's a game where we played with words, I've realized it's going to be for life. We don't realize that we're... [+]

The new BRICS+

The BRICS+ group involves emerging productive economies or raw material suppliers. They want to build a fairer global governance, and that clashes with a West that wants to continue to govern and regulate international economic flows.

BRICS+ is not a trade bloc, but a club to... [+]

Successions

A long weekend. We've turned around the environment and we've taken advantage of it to make the picoteo. Tourists making selfies. Routes for tourists, rentals, shops, hotels, parkings, menu dishes, sign signs in all languages of the world. Tourists turn the usual places into... [+]

I'm sick, able to stay away from home, with the doctor's leave, with the approval of those around me. I'm sick. I mean, my energy is the one I usually have when I come home at night, but all day long. And the body is a trap, once again, and I'm cage with hateful pride in a... [+]


Is there critical awareness in today's society?

Cacophonies

Positive assessment

Through the Wallapop app, I sold some mediocre loudspeakers before the summer. Maybe the product description was a little swollen, it's true. The shopper put me three out of five stars. It was clearly not worth it.

The next week, I drove from Irun to Bilbao to a man of my age,... [+]


Red rose

I was once in the burial of a friend's father. Our friend asked us to take a flower from the bouquets, if they wanted to. I can't say no to flowers, let alone roses, especially red flowers. So I took a beautiful red rose.

With the rose in my hand, I greeted the acquaintances of... [+]
