Ezker Batua from bad to worse.
April 13
Ezker Batua is breaking above, below and in the middle and no one seems to strive because it is not. The Taifa kingdoms thrive and abound descabezamientos scheduled. Something that is usual is that in the electoral processes appear most miserable performances and this time is to be expected. Conflicts amarrategis make space for some worth everything.
I've been robbed. They stole my right to speak, to participate and propose. Councillor EB I Ordizia and I have called for the debate (if at all any) of the electoral program and the choice of candidates in Ordizia. I have learned from the Basque Journal, which presented candidates, at least officially, because I'd received some gossip. And the problem is that I have slighted me alone because they have more brothers and sisters of EB Ordizia. And the worst is that there are voters that I have announced their intention not to vote Ezker Batua, at least these elections.
I am the founder of the United Left. In the year 86, soon will the 25 th anniversary, part of the constitution of the United Left-Ezker Batua. In 87 BC, was the youngest mayoral candidate in Spain, in Renteria, evidently by Ezker Batua, competing against Michael Good, who was beginning to emerge in the PSOE. Since then I have been a candidate in all elections, except in the 95, Isabel Lopez Aulestia, I think "unnecessary and inappropriate" for his candidacy. Until the last, in 2007, which although it was agreed that was third from the local assembly of Ordizia, in Donostia, I did spend the hatch to fifth place (I have already explained in the blog above). For these things in life, work in this case, I had to relieve the elected councilor, Maialen Galparsoro. And so one year I was a councilor in Ordizia.
When I have called Ordizia EB meeting (only once) I have attended. I was in the same order, keep the institutional responsibility as municipal tasks, assembling a blog (www.ezkerbatua.net) and relate to social movements and organizations. All agreed, is made. I just checked about fifteen emails Ubaldo Ortiz, who was then responsible institutional EB in Gipuzkoa, the blog exists, and if content is missing because the one who writes me, others do not know or no answer and I participated in different meetings with social organizations, unions and citizens ordiziarras. A month ago, Ubaldo asked me ideas for the city program, and are ready but I had no space, no place to explain them. Tion, others have asked me programmatic review and have given it.
I have defended the coalition electoral Aralar, because the work has been good, because voters were unhappy with this project and because we had won a significant political and social respect. And on that idea, I know, that co-Aralar were, until they have enough of certain co-Ezker Batua. I know Aralar has made every possible effort to continue with EB in Ordizia, but not the supposed "responsible", Julen (which had been discharged from a year ago EB) of Ordizia, or organization responsible for EB Gipuzkoa, Karmelo have responded positively to this idea. Good one, has gone even respond directly.
I find it shameful that they have done from the provincial leadership, but it is another of those Karrera Antxon. Unfortunately EPK has not reacted, and I will not stretch much of that string, but the PCE-EPK loses a space that is not overrun. So, unfortunately, I think in Ordizia, the best candidate for ordiziarras, for workers to continue adding left, not going to be this Ezker BATUA. Who wants to continue the good work is Aralar, which is part of the Left with which we must build the unity of the left, and with which there was no reason to slam him in the face. As I hope that in the future to correct the shot, but I guess with a terrible cost to Ezker Batua, this time will be with Aralar. Even a small diversion, is a step in the overall objective, to unite the left under a program of capitalist transformation.
As it becomes obvious that I want in this EB Ordizia, I think I have every right to defend myself and make their own decisions. For one thing, I sent an article to the Journal Mailbox Reader Basque public here and I guess that will come tomorrow or in the relevant section of the newspaper. I know it's hard to ventilate the miseries, but as things stand you have to open windows to air out that there are rotten. And no one in Euskadi can say anything because they are giving the show at the direction of Euskadi between Aranistas madracistas and is if anything even more embarrassing.
It is what is, or at least what you think this rebellious. Deputy article I sent the Basque newspaper.
Ezker Batua has killed a good project.
Last Sunday I had the first official word, via DV, on the nomination of EB for the elections and the provincial EB ARALAR consummated the break, regardless of the work we have done over the years to collaborate and build a project Ordizia transformer to the left. After 25 years in Ezker Batua - United Left had never seen such a belittling the current council as has been done in Ordizia.
True, some gossip that I had been warned but assumed that EB is a democratic and participatory and does not have, has not had the intention to meet to take stock of the work done over the years. No "need" neither the policy proposals we can do from experience. A false closure of what has been a good job, we have made, the EB-ARALAR councilors. I know you will say it is my opinion, but also some members of the previous nomination, that of many voters and our partners, co-Aralar, too.
For my part, from the March 26, 2010 to take possession of the council, I have filed motions, agreements have been agreed, I have provided more unanimity than ever. I have participated for example discussing the names of the streets of the town, agreeing a blueprint for living in a safer Ordizia, trying to continue opening the clinic on Saturday, condemning the Israeli state and the killing of the flotilla of freedom, defending Heldu care service to immigrants, calling for disobedience to cut salaries of municipal workers, calling for reduced spending on political groups, introducing equity in the payment of subsidies to cooperation, promoting equality of men and women or defending those who have been affected by asbestos. I should mention especially the fight Oiangu distensionar the conflict and the stubborn defense of the debt forgiveness Oiangu Bizirik with the city. I know even that the government parties appreciate all this input in opposition, although we have paid much attention. Indeed, all instructions "policy" have been received from Donosti addressed.
Why I have been slighted? I think on the one hand, for my belligerent opposition to the inauguration of the third councilor for our part if we took advantage of the law of parties. The provincial leadership does not forgive me that I refused to take the council outlawed leftwing nationalist. On the other hand, it is preferred that the domesticated free thought, and the coalition of EB and ARALAR had her own life in Ordizia.
So, I think the actions of the leaders of EB, recent ruptures (Alternatiba), recent electoral setbacks, its programmatic improvisation, breaking the alliance with Aralar and the disastrous treatment of his political assets predicts for poor performance the EEMM. I know that Maialen, Councilwoman EB I've shared with the legislature, defended the continuation of the coalition. For my part, I am forced to choose, and I think best represents the continuity of what is done in Ordizia ARALAR, at least, they did not kill a good project.
CARLOS GONZALEZ ASTIZ. COUNCILMAN IN ORDIZIA BATUA Ezker.
post or go to ARALAR Sortu you have made egg .. if you were born abertzales morid abertzales and entangle more
eb to see if life becomes better soon and that everything flows
Alex, I'm not Abertzale, although I understand I have to do a long way with people patriotic. By definition I am an internationalist. So I believe in the unity of the left as strategic and transformative project and that unit should gather nationalists and internationalists. I am from the United Left-Ezker Batua and more of PCE-EPK and I do not see in Aralar or Sortu. Another thing is that at a particular site, as Ordizia in this case, people better or may be closer to my people is now Aralar. We can not forget that organizations are composed of people with their contradictions. That there are people who want exterminarme politically in my organization does not mean that the overall project is bad.
EB I do not want to pass a better life, but if I want things to flow and change in depth. But I am very pessimistic about the immediate future of EB. I think the homer in the municipal elections in Euskadi will be Morrocotudo, and yet in the rest of the state think it will grow.
Carlos can you be so cheeky, you know perfectly well that were the ronpieron aralar which batua Ezker coalition with last year, for this term, in December the last combresacion with Councilman aralar made clear that his intention was that alone ivan
Well, I have counted to ten to meet someone who starts insulting. Indeed mamen Who are you? Some information you have, you're close but Mamen? Tell us who you are ...
I still, insult and manipulate information. You rely on something that is true. But your statement is easy to compare by going to the source. We ask Mikel Aralar and clarify what the. Moreover, I am going to ask to see some lies and manipulations have very short legs.
Mikel is true that, when back in February of last year there was a meeting of the candidacy of EB-ARALAR presence of Ubaldo and Carmelo regarding the inauguration of the council, which was held drawing that I was on vacation for some Mikel, he said, said that in these conditions are not going to reissue the coalicción. The surfeit of action regarding the replacement of Maialen and especially the issue of whether or not clambered the third council Aralar implied for breaking the coalicción.
But as you know, the pressure of Aralar and mine, got the third cogiese or council that belonged to the nationalist left, or broke the coalicción. Have you lost the full minutes? The coalicción has continued to work to date, and continues today, at least working meetings, preparation of topics, submission of motions we continue, as usual every Monday. What's more we will present a joint motion on historical memory and the republic, but that's another topic.
You talk about a conversation in December, I am not aware that it exists, but I'll say who and what they decided or discussed, so if I know is that month and a half ago, Mikel de Aralar speak with Julen (supposedly responsible for Ordizia) and Carmel (actually responsible for organizing gipuzkoa) and proposed to keep the coalicción, certainly with some work commitments and a change in strategy. Julen said he did not saw Carmelo and said he would call and until now there has been no response. What if they said, according to Mikel, is that with Carlos (me) counted for nothing. Well, the facts are those who are only list presented and published by EB.
Aralar has not broken the coalicción, is flatly false.
Please do not insult, much less without showing their faces. This time I posted your comment but if you insult not do it obviously.
By the way, someone has made electoral accounts of the consequences of the breakup? I say this because although it is clear hide your lameness.
I think you are mistaken if you reduce the problem of Ezker batua to Ordizia. EB works well throughout Euskadi, no longer militant eb, eb is a dead irresucitable. I'm not going to vote EB, and I do not care what some people call me, which you mentioned and many others.
For sample a button, today repíblica day, Mr. Javier Madrazo wishes to moderarme a comment on his blog I do for the simple fact that there is the comment of one of those fans of his, but a critical comment with their limited intellectual stature while unceremoniously banana for a Republican like him. The censored text is next, copy and paste:
For the younger generation hardly called to proclaim the Third Republic will find some type of instruction (instruction, ie, secular education was one of the pillars that you forget in that Republic, perhaps because in theological studies fail to heed this on tiptoe, like burning coals on) in posts like the one we show, which mixes folklore with absolute misinformation, and not just because I confused the Republic (this does, federal and federalist) with the II, but because you claim the Alfonsine moonarquía lacked any social support.
Well, because in the municipal April 1931 that just won the Republican nomination on monarchical (leaving aside nationalism), though Alfonso XIII became clear that his future could not be sustained on a rural vote, often induced by the caciques ( that behaved a bit like you in Ezker Batua, directing the vote on pain of retaliation, hinflando census, etc), so he decided to heed what they said the main cities and took off into exile.
But the King not only had their sincere support-induced or-among the peasantry, but also important sections of the army declared staunch monarchist, not to mention the Catholic Church, who, incidentally, used to lead the republic women's suffrage once it was conquered by the opposition of some left today always willing to give lessons to left and right (research, research ...).
This means that the monarchy had significant support, so important that the Second Republic was born with strong opposition from its inception to be shorted by the fascism that swept Europe at the time.
Explained which, I hope the rally on Saturday in Eibar, your friend Serafin enlighten us something about the soiree of Montevideo, instead of following folklore reduced to a period of history you would have some much to learn, if only to that a possible III not be surprised in the starkest lerrouxismo.
greetings.
In short, many sweater to Aralar in Ordizia.
joer joer as are the minds
I am glad that the tumor was EB metastasiko have prompt solution to the patient's obito
bring such peace as peace let ......
I Leunda Mikel, a member of Aralar, Councillor EB-Aralar Ordizia the City Council during this term and coalition partner of Maialen Galparsoro initially and now Carlos Gonzalez, with whom, by the way, has been a genuine pleasure to work.
I will not enter the internal debate Batua Ezker that entidiendo it has to resolve itself Batua Ezker. However, I do like to explain what has been the Aralar position and proceed with respect to non-reissue of the coalition, because it does not seem to want to get hold of the breaking my party.
It is true that Aralar reported in February last year, at a meeting with some members of the nomination, his intention not to republish the coalition. At that time only had one year as alderman of the coalition, because, following the resignation of the hitherto second Councilwoman coalition Ezker Batua, because of internal disputes remains had not been able to agree on the appointment his replacement. In addition, cost me sweat and tears to get the direction of EB I cede the press service temporarily, without which I spokesmen for almost 6 months, which left the coalition without a representative in different municipal bodies.
It is true, as I say, that Aralar began to develop its list with the idea of running alone. However, after several discussions with the previous application COMPONENTS coalition, this idea began to change. Two of these people, which was proposed in the bid submitted Aralar, I moved their commitment to the project we started together four years ago and was told that the condition was to have them return to compete in coalition. Another member of the bid, made me see that, due to the current electoral law, reissue the electoral coalition would benefit both parties and, therefore, to the left of Ordizia.
Both groups completed to convince me that the best option was to re-join forces.
So, on February 27, moved to my interlocutors Aralar available to meet with EB to consider in turn to present coalition. A week or so, I called the organization responsible for Gipuzkoa, Carmelo, and asked whether it was true the Aralar available to reissue the coalition. I said yes, we were the work of trying to reach an agreement, and we agreed to speak at 3 days. That same day I did get my disposal to Ordizia responsible for EB, Julian Carrasco, who told me in Ordizia they did not provide that option. At 3 days, seeing that I called, I called to Carmel and asked him how was it the possibility of the coalition. I said I had to talk to the people of Ordizia and would call me. That was the last time I talked to him today because I called and received no reply to our offer.
For these reasons, I believe you can not blame Aralar that the coalition will be reissued in Ordizia. There have been one and a half to meet and reach agreement. I know that menbers of the previous application the plate belonging to EB have interceded with the party to be joined in the coalition, but since Ezker Batua not made the slightest effort to do so.
Very disappointing to read all this, comrade.
In other localities are not having these things and I think it's take shit about you organization on the eve of municipal elections does nothing to improve things.
We all see in EB things we like and we do not like, but if we keep inside and affiliates, we discussed inside.
And it also hurts the PCE-EPK that takes many years struggling to change some of those prácitcas your complaints.
Finally, a greeting.
Mitxel, I disagree with some of what you say, but I generally find it very interesting what you mention. And as I've said, I will fight because they can say things, provided they take from the respect and no insults.
Alex, I understand you want that EB disappears, but I want to clear it of some people who do not feel the colors, or suffer with them and refundarla the principles that inspired its birth. Merge to the left under a program of capitalist transformation.
Mikel, I appreciate your comment very much. The truth is the truth and it is clear that the time to decide the direction of EB in Gipuzkoa, has broken in Ordizia coalicción interests unrelated to ordiziarras.
By the way, for me has also been a pleasure working with you, and you helped me with your experience and commitment. Your loyalty to EB has not been reciprocated by some colleagues of mine.
Txoni, you know I appreciate and perhaps disappointed me so your comment as you mine. Do not put the party in the center of the problem because it is neither deep nor well placed in the way. In any case, neither you nor the party can say that has not done the same, very same thing I am doing, dozens of times, does not that long. See the archive to contrast your claims. The party has discussed many things in and out, a lot. The question is, why not do it now that is in the ointment? The collateral damage to which you refer, are just that, collateral damage. The conflict, criticism is with the direction of EB in Gipuzkoa and a colleague in Ordizia undemocratic. "Dialectics of contradictions" you know what I'm talking about, right?. To discuss in EB must have spaces, and how do you explain that I do not have any meetings convened to discuss the nomination in Ordizia, being the current councilman Ordizia?. I have received the txaskarrillo of justification that will give is that, according donosti, I am not affiliated in the assembly of Ordizia. Do you sound familiar? Always the same traps. By the way, I will continue trying to get the party debate, not in this scenario play out, but you choose. If we want you cane here but this was not the chosen scenario. I do not think you earn points with some people with this, I know you do not intend to, but do something coherent and let them respond to those responsible, that you and I have other places to talk, even with a cafe, if you want.
Your comrade.
For coffee it would be nice, because I have long since wanted. And I will send you a mail and stayed.
Anyway, I have no idea what has happened in Ordizia and in fact I have not talked about it in my post. All I'm saying is that many colleagues who we have not participated Batua Ezker never movements such complaints, and we have elections within a month.
Mandar just now a letter to DV can have a very different effect you want. Because we also affects those who do not practice that you reported, and we will be adversely affected (politically speaking, of course).
Specifically, I'm on the list of my city, which as you know is Irun. This is a list we made in the assembly, without impositions, agreed between us and we are people of different suits in EB. We have carefully worked a lot these four years we have been on the road and we have a leftist agenda that we have contributed much EPK comrades. And the bourgeois press is willing to take any dirty rag UI, having fights and bad practices in all political and union organizations.
So I am concerned by the fact that you publish this article in the DV, though I have clearly not aimed at people like me.
Carlos is my opinion and you know that you express it with the sincerity that gives me consider you a comrade. That as someone said to explain to your child when you prenguto "Aita, what is a comrade?" He replied "Comrade is only friend."
Health and republic.
The coffee will be a must, because we have many things to say. I love to criticize a friend and comrade, that's revolution, that is revolutionary. And if I have chosen this stage of debate, because now I have another, it's good that I put your opinions. But it is also true that nothing further from my intention that affect you. I modestly think that can affect electoral Ordizia, and perhaps internally to EB, but little else. Has risen very many visits to my website these days, but looking a bit from where comes the visits is obviously the people of EB and around basically.
As I am glad that in Irun things better. No dust much the past, for sure you and I know what a few years ago, I crushed and excluded some of those still out there today. I knew you were second in the list and I congratulate you because you managed to turn the situation. I hope you leave as a councilor is a rewarding experience. But do not relax, because I will not name anyone, maybe fuck it according to your interest and turn to their old ways.
What Ordizia is very long, but for me it has a specific result, a part of EB Ordizia with the provincial leadership tries to kill me me and do not control what the coalition, and no spaces are no more participatory democratic alternatives that report. There is also an added problem is that real people think of another bid are more serious than ours, are more leftist, more committed, and have defended more consistently what we agreed four years ago. I tried to keep the coalition because I believe it was the best, without preconditions. And since one condition for me to quit as a councilor, Mikel Aralar can attest. Furthermore, I proposed that we see gathered all the coalition to take stock of achievements and try to continue the work done, and Julen, "of course responsible for Ordizia" (I remind you dropped out of the EPK and a year ago EB and posting to the four winds) and endorsed by Karrera Karmelo completely reject this possible meeting. What was the problem to continue if in other towns, including Zarautz where is the responsible institution, we have continued Aralar, if the experience has been good and has popular support, otherwise we will lose?
They have not had the courage to debate with me in a meeting when something like the program and decide the nomination. I will grace you want to meet now, for sure it happens after the deadline for nominations me "offer" to take hairs out to sea.
But this is more serious than tolerable. Moreover, logically, I said by active and passive that I would be where you continue uniting the left, and right now in Ordizia, that it is other people, not ours.
Clearly, the United Left is my project and I am a communist, a communist though perhaps irreverent, but sometimes there are conflicts that require detours, and there is a detour Ordizia to make.
I confess, and I confess publicly that he wants to tell me Aralar on their lists, and (I still am) I will say yes. I will accept but going last on your list, put always independent and has absolute freedom of opinion.
I am aware of the consequences of this decision, including organic, but I think is best, in line with the gigs I've hit, and the ideas they stand for, here and now. The situation is this, now I'm faced entirely with those who have been charged the coalition and the only arena of debate is this granted me.
And finally, do not believe this, parochial, debate has electoral consequences in Irun or at least far less than recent conflicts between madracistas and Aranistas published in the press, who do nothing to be ashamed of being where we are. Rest assured that in Irun, I'd be with you and vote for you. Indeed, you know I've lived for years in Irun, if I can help you, mind me.
As always I am proud that the Communists are the ones who show their faces and saying. Other silent, and I will not say no outburst but it's a shame what they do, even in our name.
Your comrade.
