There is no lasting peace process if prisoners are still imprisoned
- 26,000 people were at some point asking for the freedom of the five detainees in Luhuso in the attempt to disarm ETA on 16 December 2016. Three years later the situation is different: the armed organization is disarmed and dissolved, a space for debate has been opened between Euskal Herria and Paris, and steps have also been taken to eliminate the emergency measures: approaches, unifications and, above all, the withdrawal of the State of Prisoners Specially Guarded for the majority of prisoners. Looking at these points, we still have to go to the end.
We are talking about important steps, but we are still far from the goal, and if each of us believes in the peace process, we must measure the path that has been taken and see what remains to be done. A peace process is not limited to the end of a cycle of violence or to the elimination of emergency measures: these are the necessary, but not sufficient, conditions. The consequences of the conflict must be dealt with to the end: justice and truth for all victims, and adaptation of sentences for all prisoners. Here, as elsewhere, there is no lasting peace process if prisoners are still in prison! Unilateral dynamics do not mean that this requirement is obsolete. In view of the fact that disarmament and dissolution have taken place unconditionally, the conditions that they should have can now be put on the table. Loneliness now demands the opposite, the responsibility and intelligence of all parties!
Unfortunately, we are not in that, especially by the public prosecutor who is in charge of the government: When several judges of the Application of Convictions begin to introduce the Basque political context into their decisions, giving a positive response to requests for parole, the public prosecutor systematically presents the appeal, making it an obstacle to the peace process.
This attitude is not in line with President Macron’s statements in May 2019 in Biarritz ‘Euskal Herria is for me an example in the resolution of the conflict and in disarmament. (...) The duty of the State is to assist the movement. We must not repeat history, we must help.’
For the beautiful words to come true, DO NOT to the death penalty, for a person is sentenced to 30 years in prison to death, for the peace process to come to the end, we need your solidarity and presence in Baiona on 11 January.

Historically, a court of the Spanish Monarchy passed the following resolution: "The officers in charge of the custody of Iratxe Sorzabal applied electrodes to force him to testify, which constitutes a flagrant violation of his fundamental human rights." In other words, after the... [+]

In the debate on education, the neologism that some of us are using (I think we can call it that) is pedagogy, which perhaps needs an explanation. The idea is to give pedagogy a chance, separating the two things. As in the distinction between science and science, pedagogy would... [+]

Many animals use coincidence with the group as a survival strategy. This character has often been neglected, equating many collectives with herds, as a mass without its own character that must be guided. But the community, when it suspects the threat, knows how to use its... [+]
