In our country, the culture of the neighborhood is centuries old, because that is how we Basques have learned to protect the community, to help the neighbor, and to take care of and carry out what belongs to everyone with the work of everyone. In the middle of projects like this, we have this, the work of the neighborhood, and we have to act in this way in defense of projects like this, as in the face of any attack on change, taking to the streets and supporting different popular projects.

Youth centers, as well as neighborhood associations and/or self-managed spaces, give life to neighborhoods, villages. They are tools to deepen the change. In it, different large and diverse projects are carried out. They are a meeting place for citizens, spaces where they can empower themselves and make their dreams come true. Projects of this type are local alternatives for the organization and exercise of citizenship, areas to sow conditions for social transformation. In short, those of us who seek a profound social transformation for our country know that this must be built from the bottom up.

The dialectic between the creative forces and tensions to deepen and advance in change is indispensable. Have contradictions and continue to overcome them. From the youngest to the oldest, we believe in the life of the people and in their creative and transformative organization. The change is diverse and wide, and the citizens who work for it are thousands of us, each from their own space and project. All necessary, all indispensable. On the basis of sincere collaboration, we will promote a change that belongs to everyone.

For this reason, we do not understand the position adopted by Geroa Bai, demanding a preventive eviction. And we call on him to restart the interlocution with Maravillas. If the eviction is granted, the change is the loser, and the regime is the winner (UPN-PSN-factual powers); and if it is not granted, because we can all continue to give our grain for change, we are all winners, change is the winner. The regime will do its own and two to camouflage the change and its passion, it is and will continue to do so, because its goal is to return to the City Hall to govern.

So let’s continue to promote and defend change in youth centers, in the street, in schools, in the City Hall and in all the spaces that are needed. To make it unstoppable, to continue deepening the change and to build a new and free Pamplona.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, and the road will not be easy. We will make mistakes, we will have contradictions, but we will learn from them and move on, fall and rise, fall and rise!

Let us conclude by recalling the words of Pepe Mujika: “It’s impossible, it’s something that requires a little more work.” Viva youth centers and self-managed spaces! Get the change up! Long live the village!
