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 me.
I’ve been looking for topics for days; it seems that repetition is a failure for the weekly columnist. Maybe repetition is what we need. We must repeat that we are witnessing a genocide. THE GENOCIDE. A word avoided by those responsible for communication at the Sonar festival, who have used the term “humanitarian catastrophe” as if the trigger was a phenomenon like the cold drop and not ISRAEL.
That may be the novelty, the news to rewrite this column: Thanks to El Salto we have learned that KKR, a pro-Israel fund, has bought a lot of festivals in the Spanish state, including Viña Rock and Sónar himself. Artists like Fermín Muguruza have announced that they will not participate, and someone has framed the boycott campaign in the “culture of chancellery” to justify not making this decision (she is a woman, Catalan, and highly appreciated in my feminist bubble).
Meanwhile, in Gaza: “The Israeli Army has killed nine of Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar’s ten children in their home over the weekend. The eldest was 12 years old. She was working in the hospital, where the bodies and wounded friends, including her husband and the only surviving child, arrived.” This is a quote from journalist Olga Rodríguez from her latest article at eldiario.es. The title is: “Cosmetic Round in the EU to Save the Image Before the Genocide in Gaza” [Cosmetic Round in the EU to Protect the Image from the Genocide in Gaza]
You'll excuse me, but I can't change the subject. We can't change the subject.

Post-date: A black and migrant woman named Layli Colorado has been subjected to a police attack in Valencia in front of her three children for refusing an arbitrary identification.
The second post-date: A young man named Abdoulie Bah has been killed by the Spanish police at the airport in Gran Canaria and the government delegate has expressed his support for the police.
I apologize, but I have to repeat that, too.

The four belligerent European presidents (Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Donald Tusk) demanded a 30-day ceasefire from Vladimir Putin on May 10. Response from the Russian President: “On May 15, let’s start negotiating peace in Istanbul.”

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... [+]
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... [+]

The house was a space for the dead and the living in the old Basque customs. Children who were born dead or who had died before being baptized were buried next to an outer wall under the roof. The surnames were also associated with a house, the name given by the house to the one... [+]
Imagine a sports center swimming pool with six cork hairs. You're standing in front of one of those lines. On the first street you see two old ladies swimming slowly with their boards. On the second street, on the other hand, two young women swim in a better style than the other... [+]
The new bookstore will be based on Hazparn’s ideas – if this has not already been published –. It will be called Et’abar. It will be a typical shop with an offer of publications in Basque. It will not only operate in the interior of the Northern Basque Country. Over the... [+]
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... [+]
Politikan, gizartean eragiteko nahiaren eta identitate zeinuetan sakontzearen arteko tentsioa ekidinezina da. Zabaltzearen eta norberaren ezaugarriak indartzearen arteko hartu-emana politikaren adierazle baita. Bi arloak lortu nahi izaten dira, eta elkarren artean elikatzen... [+]
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... [+]
