Errekaleor needs you!
In our small Basque Country, we have many examples in favor of the construction of a new social model, outside the logic of capitalism. Occupying movements, against giant infrastructures, based on food sovereignty or alternative media. In most cases, information and solidarity with these critical movements and organisations is awakened when attacks and repression by political and administrative institutions and companies take place. This is what has happened in the Errekaleor district of Vitoria-Gasteiz. On 3 June we met some 10,000 people in response to the call made by Errekaleor Bizirik! and against the mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Gorka Uraran. Many of the protesters were headed by Iñaki Azkuna in Kukutza and Eneko Goia in Kortxoenea. Errekaleor is the reflection of the self-managed anti-capitalist model and that is why they want to derail it. We have left.
Following the interruption of the electricity service by Iberdrola, Errekaleor's energy transition has begun. The Basque energy multinational had already announced on 28 June in Donostia-San Sebastian a summer course of the UPV/EHU with the motto Energy Transition, but it has been suspended days before. I do not know why, but I do not think there is a lack of interest or registration here. Former Vice President of the United States and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore told us a few years ago that the Basques were very lucky at the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Iberdrola and Gamesa, in their view, are very valuable tools for tackling climate change. Gamesa has recently been sold to the German Siemens and I believe that Iberdrola is part of the problem (the main one) and not of the solution. To overcome the social model of capitalism, we have to change the energy model, and if we make that energy transition, the forces and the agents are fighting for and against us. In Errekaleor they want to deal with Iberdrola and it is not going to be easy.
Against and in favour. Following the May attack on Errekaleor, a large number of people were mobilised, as in the case of the conviction of the young people of Alsasua. In the political culture of Euskal Herria, we have very present attitudes and criticisms against social injustices. On the other hand, I believe that we have not yet overcome a subject in order to have to create favourable and constructive positions. The Vitoria district of Vitoria-Gasteiz has launched a new energy catchment campaign coopfunding.net/es/campaigns/errekaleorbizirik, in which at the moment more than 900 people have participated. They will still need a lot of small aid to cover the budget. You can also participate to be part of the energy transition and the new social model. Come on!

Immersed in information networks, I have come to some information about digital activism. When I think of digital activists, I also think of ways of organizing, not all of us—and addressing problems equally. Some approach digital activism from communication, others create... [+]
I could have written about the invasion in the hooligan of Bilbao, but I live in a small village and I have not suffered. I could have written about Euskaraldia to thank those of you who have helped us not turn our backs on Euskaraldia, but that is not what the body asks of... [+]
We have news from last week: A 67-year-old truck driver died while loading the truck. If it had been on the road, we would have heard “inconveniences on the road”, then, in a similar way, “a trucker has died in the accident”. Now that taking the train in Gipuzkoa has... [+]

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... [+]
