"At the launch of the initiative, Unicef Executive Director Henrietta Fore announced that the world body will support the start-up of the YuWaah! Secretariat, supporting partners to work together to scale up engagement with young people for solutions.
"Any country's greatest asset is the energy, ideas and vision of its young people. As young people build their own futures, they'll build India's future. Investing in them is the best investment India can make," Fore said.
Lauding the initiative, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a letter that "YuWaah – the Generation Unlimited partnership, will go a long way in empowering our youth to acquire skills to enhance their creativity and potential to build the new India of the 21st Century. I am sure that this partnership will make our youth the harbingers of social change."

The government has pledged to gradually provide all of the state's homeless, low-income families with two-bedroom homes through the two-bedroom housing program. Two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms (2BHK) will be included in each home. The District Collectors and Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, have therefore issued the following instructions for carrying out the program.

In the name of the family's housewife, the house will be sanctioned.
The selection of beneficiaries in each Assembly Constituency shall be made under the following SC/ST/Minorities caste makeup (of available eligible SC/ST/Minorities), and the district as a whole shall preserve this composition.
The cost of the entire unit is higher because the state government is also considering the development of essential infrastructure (inclusive of infrastructure). The estimated total cost of the project is Rs 18,000 crores, of which Rs 3,230 crore has already received approval. It has also been requested that the center help with infrastructure development. Basic infrastructure will also be taken care of, such as water supply lines, electrical lines, approach and internal roads, drainage and sewerage lines, etc. In addition, the state administration requested that power connections be made available through the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana-Saubhagya. Beneficiaries will pay significantly cheaper electricity bills if the center complies.

These apartments reserve 5% of their total capacity for people with impairments. In metropolitan locations, there are also reservations for other target groups: 17% for SCs, 6% for STs, 12% for minorities, and the remaining 65% for others. In rural areas, 50% of the housing units are set aside for SC and STs, while 7% go to minorities and 43% are available to other people.
The District Collector must choose the best government property, if any, adjacent to the village or municipality to take up housing in layouts while choosing locations for housing buildings.
Independent homes must have a 125-square-yard individual plot in rural areas. The District Collectors may take into consideration G+1dwellings in significant Gram Panchayats if the land is limited.

For housing sites within 2 kilometers of the Mandal headquarters, G.O.Ms. 1493 dt1.12.2007, Revenue (Asst. POT) Dept. may be used.
The distribution of apartments in G+ houses must be done using lots. Physically challenged families (PHCs) must be assigned to the ground floor.

There are several subsidies available for stakeholders, according to the official website. For instance, cement is provided at a discounted rate of Rs 230 per bag. Additionally, basic costs and seigniorage on the sand are exempt. Additionally, the earnest money deposit was reduced from 2.5% to 1%. In addition, fly ash is provided gratis if it is needed within 100 kilometers. 50% off is offered for distances between 100 and 300 kilometers. The two-year defect liability period has been cut to one year. For all current activity associated with the project, even the price of steel is changed. To build toilets as part of the housing program, money from the Swacch Bharat Mission and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) will be used.
Candidates who meet the requirements and wish to participate in the program must complete an application for a grant for a home with two bedrooms. You can either use the link below to download it or visit the nearby MeeSeva facility to get it.

This is really truly wonderful advice on all fronts and much appreciated!
Wow Mikki I wish I'd known you when I lived in Montgomery, where I lived for four years. It's an interesting town and there are some great people there.
not to mention the best red velvet caked in the world. sigh.
I too have found them very very coniderate, personal and prompt! I once received a broken figure candle and they sent a new one right away!
THANKS! That's very helpful. I was concerned it might be "throwing doubt" but this is a better way of looking at it, much appreciated.
Is it possible to make two doll babies on one person-- say freeze one, put one in a mirror box? I don't think it would work for love work but wondered about enemy work.
I wonder if you're thinking of somehow "freezing" the cancer cells? it's creative but not really what the spell does. It's a bit like cooking you know, certain ingredients do certain things.
If the ashtray was made of glass, it may mean nothing at all.
Interesting, I would not have thought of that. Thanks!
all my tests were normal last time I went a few weeks ago-- I was actually a little surprised because I was hugely fatigued. But B12 is a good idea, maybe ginseng too, and I like the planetary idea a lot!
Thanks for those suggestions! I do use attraction very often, but I don't have Queen Elizabeth Root, and Cast off Evil seems like a GREAT idea too, to help me get out of my own way.
What about black cat? or Hindu grass? do you think those would be useful?
but what oil could I use in a hurry, when I'm getting up, no time for a bath? Tranquility also seems to set me into too down. Sometimes I need to be UP.
What would be good to not so much change my luck, as my own attitude?
Yes, thanks-- I'm not talking about being crossed, just "cross," or grumpy. Want to be less grumpy, that's all-- in a more normal way. Not something I need every day, but on those days when you wake up in a testy mood, what would be a good oil to use?
cool, so I anoint myself, my papers? If I shake hands with the interviewer, am I blocking him/her somehow?
I have this oil and am not sure how to use it!
There are lots of things I want that are competitive, but am not usually in direct contact with my competition.
Do you wear it to a job interview, or dress a resume with it...?
Wow! that's inspiring. what exactly did you use? vigils, mojo? If you don't mind my asking, i could use some too!
glass can crack if it's heated and then cooled: i've never heard of it happening hours after though. I'd get a reading... it may be nothing but best to be sure!
Re: pray to st. martha for his return or use a heal me petition?
This is very helpful... something to aid peace of mind in any case!
that's so interesting! And very good to know. I have found this site to be a tremendous treasury of advice and wisdom.
well, it really sounds as though fires of love is in order!
and I'd avoid "the talk" because it puts him into an analytical place when what you want is PASSION. maybe some kiss me now also?
It is mercury retrograde so you may well be right-- the person who needs to understand the communication is YOU. And also it is easy for misunderstandings to happen during this time. tranquility work seems a great route to go down!
what if you want to cut emotional ties and end pain but leave a door open in case a situation changes?
It was a LM vigil so I did not add anything to it. I've read in the page on reading signs that cracks in road opener can mean break in the impasse...no wax ran out.
Also I believe that "looking for signs for 3 days" is a general rule, if you get a sign in ten days, it still counts.
Recently I petitioned St. Martin de Porres for my cat Jeannie, and he really came through!
Thanks, very helpful! would you anoint yourself with it, or use it in a tea in some way?
lol thanks for explaining, I was wondering that too!
I have used all three and they WORK. BOY do they work! Thanks Miss CAT! LM products are the best!
You are confusing vigil candles and the black over red reversing jumbo candles, and the two-color double action jumbo candles, it seems to me... they are separate things.
I love the reversal vigil candles too and just got a mirror to make my next one even stronger... But I also have these love reversal candles... Which do you think is stronger? Wld doing bothbe a good idea?
I have found Nicole to be VERY helpful when I'm trying to figure out which candles to set.
Thanks! I wasn't thinking of substituting, it's just that that thread got me thinking whether the ashes of a beloved cat might help a beloved cat.
Good point about the flowers...anyway, I will try it. Thanks!!!
Also try reversing... if there is another person in her life that person may subconsciously be sending out bad energy. I swear when I am beset by negativity and sad thoughts when I burn a reversing candle they vanish, instantly, no joke. Try it before you decide to give up.

Please complete the following fields to receive bids from vendors with a Ford Freestyle Engine for sale!

All models came with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Buyers could opt for a front-wheel-drive Freestyle for the best fuel economy, but those living in rough weather will be glad to learn that an all-wheel-drive version of the wagon was also available.
Initially, there were three trim levels available: SE, SEL and Limited. The SE came decently equipped and had air-conditioning, a CD player, second-row captain's chairs (resulting in a total passenger capacity of six), a power driver seat and full power accessories as standard. The midgrade SEL added an in-dash CD changer, automatic headlights, heated side mirrors, an auto-dimming rear view mirror and a trip computer.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Netflix has chosen New Mexico as the site of a new U.S. production hub and is in final negotiations to buy an existing multimillion-dollar studio complex on the edge of the state's largest city, government and corporate leaders announced Monday.
It's the company's first purchase of such a property, and upcoming production work in Albuquerque and at other spots around New Mexico is forecast to result in $1 billion in spending over the next decade.
More than $14 million in state and local economic development funding is being tapped to bring Netflix to New Mexico. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller, a Democrat, touted the investment and said lengthy efforts to put New Mexico on the movie-making map are paying off.
Martinez acknowledged the state's reliance on federal funding and oil and gas development, saying more needs to be done to encourage diverse ventures such as Netflix as the private sector is the backbone of the American economy.
Keller said the city has laid the groundwork to make sure the film industry is part of its economic development plan. He called landing Netflix a "transformative victory" for the city.
Netflix projects produced in New Mexico include the Emmy Award-winning limited series "Godless" and "Longmire." Company officials said previous experience working in the state inspired them to jump at the opportunity to establish a new production hub in Albuquerque.
Netflix earlier this year announced it was establishing its first European production hub in Spain. That operation is expected to help the online video entertainment platform expand its Spanish-language content.
It also has a production hub in Los Angeles and it's possible the company's footprint will continue to expand, given the amount of content the online entertainment provider is aiming to create.
"We will look at each place on its merits — the same kind of decision-making that went into the impending purchase of this studio," said Ty Warren, Netflix's vice president for physical production. "The combination of great crews, existing infrastructure, financial incentives — it was all part of it."
Netflix has about 130 million subscribers worldwide.
Officials did not release details about the sales price of the studio complex in New Mexico. The property includes several sound stages, production offices, mill space and a back lot.
Martinez, whose second and final term ends this year, initially talked about trying to rein in New Mexico's film incentive program and an annual $50 million cap was instituted.
As the state dug its way out of the recession, she said it was important to avoid cuts to critical programs such as education, health care and public infrastructure. She was criticized by many who thought the cap would stifle the growth of the film industry.
In 2013, she signed the "Breaking Bad bill," named after the Emmy-winning TV drama that filmed primarily in Albuquerque during its five seasons. The legislation enhanced incentives for television productions. Martinez said the industry has since marked three consecutive record-breaking years in New Mexico and it is lining up to be another monumental year.
The industry has drawn more in-state direct spending from film and TV productions each year since 2014, topping out at $505 million last fiscal year, according to the state film office.

Bouchera Azzouz (née à Saint-Denis) est une autrice, documentariste, essayiste, femme politique et militante féministe française.

Biographie
Bouchera Azzouz grandit à Bobigny dans une famille d'origine marocaine, entre une mère pieuse et un père humaniste, très attaché à la cause féministe. Elle est la troisième naissance d'une fratrie de dix enfants. Elle est la sœur ainée de la chanteuse de R&B Wallen. Elle est mariée à Charles de Prague (pseudonyme). Elle dit endosser très jeune un rôle de seconde mère, une position qui renforce sa curiosité sur le monde autour, et plus spécifiquement sur la place des femmes immigrées dans nos sociétés. Pratiquante, la jeune femme porte le voile pendant plusieurs années avant de se dévoiler, et d'étudier le questionnement complexe qui entoure la confession, la religion et la féminité. Cette prise de conscience va nourrir une réflexion empirique sur le féminisme, qui deviendra plus tard le « féminisme populaire » qu'elle décline à travers ses différents ouvrages. En fondant le Féminisme populaire elle intègre les luttes systémiques en dépassant la seule question de l'immigration pour se penser comme appartenant à la classe populaire, car, pour elle, la question fondamentale dans le combat émancipateur des femmes, c'est la question sociale.

Bouchera Azzouz revendique un héritage familial féministe, nourrit par ses rencontres avec toutes les femmes de son quartier, et leurs combats au quotidien pour accéder à leur liberté. Ancienne membre de l'association Ni putes, ni soumises, elle devient secrétaire générale de l'organisation à la suite de la nomination de Fadela Amara en tant que secrétaire d'État chargée de la Politique de la ville dans le gouvernement de Nicolas Sarkozy.

Elle est la présidente-fondatrice de l'association Les Ateliers du féminisme populaire, qui vise à donner aux femmes les moyens de leur émancipation grâce à la mise en place d'un plan d'accompagnement à l'autonomie des femmes (PAAF).

Depuis 2017 elle est nommée par le CSA au conseil d'administration de l'INA.
Elle est coprésidente de l'association « Pour les femmes dans les médias » (PFDM), association créée par Françoise Laborde.

En 2020 elle intègre l'ONU Femmes.

Carrière professionnelle
En 2015, Bouchera Azzouz écrit et co-réalise avec Marion Stalens, le documentaire Nos Mères Nos Daronnes diffusé sur France Télévisions. Le film aborde l'immigration à travers le prisme du féminisme. Les réalisatrices souhaitent alors raconter au féminin l'histoire des quartiers populaires. La même année, elle est co-auteure avec Corinne Lepage de l'ouvrage Les femmes au secours de la République, de l'Europe et de la planète, édité aux éditions Max Milo.

En mai 2016, Bouchera Azzouz publie l'essai autobiographie Fille de daronne et fière de l'être aux éditions Plon, dans lequel elle interroge la construction personnelle et la filiation, entre son identité de femme immigrée et de citoyenne française à part entière.

En mars 2018, Bouchera Azzouz réalise un second documentaire On nous appelait beurettes diffusé sur France 2, un récit documenté de la vie de jeunes femmes des quartiers populaires dans les années 1980.

En janvier 2021, le troisième documentaire Meufs de (la) Cité est diffusé sur France 2. Après les grands mères, les mères, elle parle d'une autre génération, celle des jeunes femmes, afin de compléter sa trilogie (les daronnes, les beurettes, les meufs).

Discover more presence, connection, and compassion naturally.

She helps individuals, couples, and professionals to embrace all of who they are so they can experience greater levels of wellbeing, resiliency, and success. She also co-facilitates The Space Mastermind for Solopreneurs with Barb Patterson.

The MTV Movie Awards are like a televised drinking game for celebrities. It doesn't even matter who wins or loses. No one remembers who won a beer pong game from five years ago, just like no one remembers who took home that popcorn statue. The whole point is for movie stars is to show up, have a few laughs with their friends and then call it a night. It sort of sounds like an insult said so overtly like that, but in actuality, it isn't. There are literally dozens of awards shows every year. The Academy Awards matter. The Golden Globes and Emmys sort of matter. The Independent Spirit Awards have a nice off-beat charm to them. Everything else is mostly a pretentious waste of time, except the MTV Movie Awards that put up no pretense whatsoever. They know exactly what they are, and they're fine with it. So am I.
Check out the complete list of 2011 MTV Movie Award winners below. Or skip down to the bottom to replay our interactive live blog of the event, in which Cinema Blenders hugged it out while Twilight ran away with everything.
Note: Winners for each category will be highlighted in red as they are announced.


Each team will have roughly 22 minutes to present (e.g., 15 minutes to present and 7 minutes for Q&A). It's up to you exactly how you allocate the time between presentation and Q&A. In addition to the verbal Q&A, each team will be collecting feedback via a Google form.

La cuarta guerra macedónica (150 a. C.-148 a. C.) fue la última guerra entre Roma y Macedonia. Se libró como consecuencia de la usurpación del pretendiente Andrisco del trono de Macedonia, quien fingió ser hijo de Perseo, el último rey de Macedonia, depuesto por los romanos luego de la tercera guerra macedónica en 168 a. C. Andrisco, que contó con apoyos procedentes de Tracia, venció inicialmente al pretor romano Juvencio pero fue finalmente derrotado por el general romano Cecilio Metelo en la batalla de Pidna en 148 a. C. Poco después, Macedonia se convirtió en una provincia romana.

Something I know about writing blog posts is to avoid to even write something if you don't have anything special to write about, you know, if it's just no sense. So lately I have just been really trying to push myself to make blog post even if I don't want to, which i think is kinda bad I guess, because then after I feel even more bad to write such a bad post, do you understand what I mean? I love love love to take pictures and to blog. I mean, bloging is kinda something really in my heart because I have been doing it for so so long now. But I guess I just need some new motivation right now to get it up a level, to do it better I mean.
I don't know why I'm writing this post, but I guess it's just to make you understand also that I am not only trying to show a perfect side of my life. It's not only nice foods, drinks in Monaco and outfits. It's also tears, sad moments and a lot of thoughts!! But I will do this! I will try to get my motivation back!


If you're a petrolhead you have probably fantasied about owning - or even just driving - one of the many legendary vehicles around today. Classic cars are big business right now, not only because of car enthusiasts but also because of eager investors. Just last year a classic Ferrari dealer spent £400k (before fees) on the number plate 25 O and a further £100,500 on 250 L. Both registrations went to the dealer's personal collection. It shows just how willing some are to perfect their vehicles. If you're looking for a good investment, or just looking to get your hands on one of your dream vehicles, we have asked our friends at Classic and Sports Finance advice on what classic cars to keep an eye on this year.
For more information on this vehicles, the current classic car market, or for advice for fellow classic owners please visit the Aston Martin Owner's Club, the Porsche Owner's Club and the Ferrari Owner's Club.
Special thanks once again to Classic and Sports Finance for all their help.

Just across the river from the Casco Viejo - between the river and the railway - are the areas known as Bilbao la Vieja and San Francisco, a vibrant but poor district where many immigrants live. It's quite a bohemian quarter, too, like parts of the Casco Viejo, attracting students, artists, gay people, clubbers, and so on. The city council has been working to improve the area, and a variety of interesting restaurants, cultural venues, etc., have opened here.
The majority of immigrants here are North and West African Muslims, many from Morocco and Senegal, and this is a great place for buying a variety of African spices, grains, and fruit, herbs and vegetables.
Many of the South American immigrants in Bilbao live here too. If you want to get away from the Basque food and culture that almost entirely dominate the rest of the city, this is the place to come.
There's also a less salubrious side to life in San Francisco. Although Spain's and Bilbao's crime rates are relatively low, like all big cities Bilbao has its dark side, with poverty, drugs and prostitution – and San Francisco is home to the red light district, where prostitution (mainly South American women) is visible and drugs raids common.
Mass immigration is relatively new to Spain, and of course it produces the usual problems of integration, xenophobia, etc. that are common to most societies. According to Wikipedia, in 2009 there were '127 different nationalities registered in Bilbao, although 60 of them contain fewer than 10 people.' The largest community by far is the South American (mainly from Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil and Ecuador). They are followed by smaller numbers of Romanians, Moroccans and Chinese. Recent years have also seen an influx of West Africans.
Spanish-speaking South American immigrants are relatively well integrated, and many, for instance, are greengrocers around the city. The small numbers of Chinese immigrants in Bilbao are extremely industrious and set up cavernous shops, known as 'tiendas chinas', which sell absolutely everything at incredibly cheap prices, and incredibly low quality. The North Africans from Morocco and around have old links with Spain, and seem relatively settled in San Francisco.
The more recent West African immigrants, however, who have mostly arrived in the last few years, seem far less integrated, and they can often be seen laying out stalls on pavements selling goods such as DVDs and cheap jewellery, or peddling them in cafes and bars, as well as gathering in groups in the streets.
Amongst the West Africans are a couple of very good Kora players: the Kora is a West African stringed instrument which makes a beautiful sound. Hearing them play on the streets has been one of the great pleasures of living in the Casco Viejo this year.
Some might say that immigration is particularly alien to the Basque country, a place which has been pretty undilutedly Basque for thousands of years: the Moors never conquered it, the Jews never made it here, even the Romans and the Visigoths never properly got a foothold. But modern Bilbao is an increasingly multicultural city, and immigrants have also reached some of the lesser cities and larger towns around the Basque country – places like Bermeo, Amorebieta, and so on.
I don't think immigration seems more problematic here than anywhere else, and modern progressive Basque nationalism seems to be doing a good job of fostering a multicultural society, despite the historic monoculturalism (and at times xenophobic nationalism) of the region and its own battle to revive the language, culture and politics of the Basque people and have them recognised within Spain.
Storks (see previous post) were the highlight of our trip to Burgos, but there was plenty more of interest in this very beautiful city.
This was our only trip into Castile, the central region of Spain which was the heartland of the Spanish kingdom for hundreds of years. Burgos – the medieval capital of Castile – with its grand medieval heritage (magnificent cathedral, royal monasteries, enormous castle and so on), its open landscapes, and its lack of industrial hinterland – felt quite different from the grittier, less fancy, mountainous Basque Country, despite being only a few miles south of it. On the other hand, like many cathedral cities, it also felt very much as though it had had its age of splendour and was living off past glories.
The rest of the town is full of picturesque squares and streets ….
Burgos is a major centre on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, and we saw lots of pilgrims with sticks, rucksacks and scallops. Oddly most of them seemed to be American.
Henry II (of England) and Eleanor of Aquitaine were married here in 1254 too. The Gothic chapel doubles as the Spanish royal mausoleum of the 12th and 13th centuries, and there is a fine Romanesque cloister, but alas the very famous medieval music manuscript, the Las Huelgas Codex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Las_Huelgas), was not on display.
As Euskadi's major metropolis, Bilbao has inevitably been at the heart of the Basque conflict and the activities of extreme left nationalist group ETA - Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (which means Basque Homeland (Euskadi) and Freedom (Askatasuna)). It's hard to imagine that the city we've come to love so much was until recently the scene of such terrible atrocities.
Two years ago ETA announced a permanent end to its armed struggle, and there is no sense of any violent conflict here now – though there are many large political demonstrations. As yet, however, there have been no moves towards decommissioning of arms, as there was in Northern Ireland, and relationships between the Basque 'abertzale' (nationalist) left and the Spanish government are nowhere near as positive as they were in Ireland between Sinn Fein, Ireland and the Blair government.
In part, this is because of the reactionary intransigence of the Spanish hard-line right wing government (although to be fair the left-wing government that preceded it was not much better in this respect). However, it's also in part because ETA is in a far weaker position than Sinn Fein was, since the Basque Country already has pretty much everything that Northern Ireland achieved through its peace process – i.e. a very substantially devolved regional government giving the region a great deal of democratic autonomy. In fact, the Basque Country has more autonomy, since it (alone amongst the Spanish autonomous regions) has fiscal autonomy too.
There's also a fair amount of scepticism about how permanent the ceasefire is, since ETA has announced permanent ceasefires before and they have not lasted (though this has lasted longer than others and seems more stable). A few weeks ago, ETA released a statement denouncing the lack of progress that has been made in negotiations with Spain following its ceasefire. This certainly reads as a genuine cry of frustration, but there's no doubt that it has vaguely threatening overtones too.
Whatever one might feel about ETA, it does seem as though the Spanish government is not responding as open-mindedly as it might to ETA's overtures – and that it has barely set a foot right in the Basque conflict since the end of the Franco regime nearly 40 years ago.
At the heart of the current conflict is the question of the Basque prisoners – a huge issue that has very substantial support across the Basque Country. Hundreds of people imprisoned because of their involvement in ETA are held in prisons in France and Spain, deliberately many hundreds of miles from the Basque Country, meaning that families have to travel long distances to visit them. The authorities, of course, want to keep the prisoners well away from local networks. Now that ETA has announced its ceasefire, there is huge public support for the campaign to bring them 'back home' ('etxera') to local prisons.
Flags hang from windows all over the Basque Country in protest at the situation, demanding that the prisoners return 'etxera' – and 'etxera' is the chant you hear at all manner of political and cultural events.
The government refuses point blank to return the prisoners. Not only that, the situation has been inflamed by moves to keep many of the prisoners incarcerated for longer periods by means of the 'Parot Doctrine', which means that remission for work done in prison is deducted from their total sentence rather than from the shorter maximum period (30 years) they will actually spend in jail. The European Court of Human Rights decreed last year that this was illegal, and Spain is currently challenging that ruling, but it seems fairly clear that Spain's actions here are unjust, almost certainly illegal, and certainly counter-productive.
What do the Basques actually feel about ETA, given that a substantial majority of the population consider themselves Basque nationalists of one kind or another?
First, it's important to recognize that not all Basque nationalists are separatists: some are happy with autonomy rather than independence. Second, it's important to recognize that most left-wing nationalists do not support the extreme-left terrorist tactics of ETA. Third, not all Basque nationalists are left-wing – far from it; the main nationalist party (PNV) is in fact centre-right, and Basque nationalism began in the 19th century as a xenophobic right-wing movement with a somewhat fascist philosophy (though it has moved a long way from that position in the last century.) Fourth, there has been a massive anti-ETA campaign amongst Basques of all political views.
It's also very important, however, to recognize the widespread grievances that exist against Spain, many of which date back to the brutal suppression of the Basque Country during Franco's time, pre-1976 – some aspects of which continued even after Franco's death. The Spanish army and police attacked the Basques violently in the transitional period after Franco's death, and even today are felt by many to be a potential threat. Furthermore, there have been and continue to be many reports of torture and maltreatment of Basque prisoners and suspects by the Spanish state, which have fed these grievances; the Spanish government's banning of pro-independence left-wing parties (especially the popular Batasuna) which are suspected of being in sympathy with ETA has certainly not helped things and is again widely perceived as a breach of democratic rights.
Although there is little direct support for ETA, there is a great deal of support for many of ETA's aims, and ETA is in some senses deeply embedded in the community throughout Euskadi: there is no 'other side´ in the Basque country as there is in Northern Ireland, where the fight is between catholic and protestant extremists. Many Basque people will no doubt know or be related to someone who has been involved with ETA in some way, or will be involved socially and politically around the edges of the extreme left – drinking and socializing in the gritty working class nationalist bars called 'Herriko Tabernas' ('Homeland Bars') that are found all over the Basque Country – even if they actually have nothing to do with ETA.
And whatever one feels about nationalism, one has to recognise that nationalist sentiment of all kinds is VERY powerful and widespread here for all kinds of reasons. The strength of communal feeling for Basque identity and culture is palpable throughout Euskadi, and often very moving (I've written about this in previous posts). And socially progressive, left-wing nationalism is particularly powerful here because of the way the Basques, the gritty Northerners, have been oppressed by right-wing Madrid establishments over the last century and more. You can see here of course echoes of the relationship between England and N. Ireland, and between England and Scotland, and between London and the industrial north of England – but the Basque cause is distinguished by its severe oppression by fascism during the Franco years.
So, whether people actually support ETA's terrorist actions or not (and most of course DON'T), there is still widespread support for bringing the prisoners back home, and a widespread sense of more general grievance against Spain, especially given the current right-wing regime.
And there is one other issue that has the potential to unite the different shades of Basque nationalism against the Spanish: the question of self-determination. Whether they believe that the Basque Country should be independent or not, whether they are left or right wing nationalists, many people believe that the Basques should at least be given the choice via a referendum, something the Spanish government refuses to allow, saying that it is against the Spanish Constitution – a constitution that the majority of Basques do not consider themselves to have ratified, since most abstained or voted against it in the 1978 referendum on it. Only 35% of the electorate in the Basque Country supported the new constitution.
· Withdrawal of Spanish police force (* There has since 1982 been an autonomous Basque police force, the Ertzaintza, but it is widely regarded by the left as a puppet of the Spanish state).
but of course their political objections were far broader than this list indicates.
So where does this leave us? With limited access to the locals, we haven't been able to have many in-depth discussions with them about these issues, but what we see around us is a region in which the Basques have a very large amount of autonomy, and freedom to express their culture, language, politics and identity, in a way similar to Wales and Scotland – and in some ways even more so, since they also have considerable fiscal independence (such as tax-gathering powers). We see what appears in many ways to be a well-balanced society in which nationalism is, at least in urban multicultural areas, inclusive and progressive. Many people we've spoken to are happy with this situation, and suspicious of more fundamentalist nationalism.
We are also strongly aware, however, of the very real grievances many of the Basques have against a Spanish state that still behaves reprehensibly, the pain of recent Basque history, and the powerful cultural, linguistic and historical arguments for an independent Basque state – more powerful in many ways than any of the British nations (or, at risk of being controversial, even than Catalunya).
We've also watched a couple of really interesting films about it, both thoroughly recommended. La Pelota Vasca is a documentary which simply presents voices from all sides, taking the metaphor of the Basque game Pelota as a symbol of the conflict. It's ten years old, now, so it is a bit out of date, but it nevertheless gives a very good overview of the situation. Gazta Zati Bat is a more recent (and more entertaining) film which focuses on the question of self-determination rather than the question of independence, and follows a grass-roots political movement in Euskadi which initiates a cultural and political exchange between Scottish and Basque nationalists – cue lots of amusing film of Scottish and Basque country sports, folk music and dancing, etc., as well as explorations of the shared politics of independence referenda….
The Basque Country is effectively the foothills of the Pyrenees. It's extremely hilly – densely so – and indeed quite mountainous in parts.
Unfortunately I suffer badly from vertigo and/or have a ridiculous phobia about heights (depending on which way you look at it) which often manifests itself on exposed hillsides, even not particularly steep ones. It's a form of agoraphobia, if you like, which affects all my balance mechanisms when a certain combination of open space and height kicks in. It doesn´t particularly bother me when I'm surrounded by trees or buildings, but as soon as they disappear I go a bit funny.
So my appreciation of the Basque hills has been somewhat limited this year. I've enjoyed looking at them from a distance, and taking trains through them: I like a nice hill as much as the next man. And many of the Basque hills are very satisfyingly green, forested and alpine. But I haven't ventured up many of them. Which is a shame, as by all accounts they are extremely good to venture up, and provide some excellent views.
Bilbao itself is entirely surrounded by substantial hills, the reason it is sometimes called 'El Botxo' ('The Hole'). Directly above the Casco Viejo is Mount Artxanda, served by a funicular, whilst on the other side of the river is Mount Pagasarri, which many Bilbainos walk up at weekends. Wherever you are in Bilbao, you can see the green (or white in winter) of the surrounding hills.
From the Casco Viejo, there are a number of quite dramatic staircases and lifts which one can take up the lower slopes of Artxanda to the Begoña district, from where one can get some intermediate views of the centre of Bilbao. These are the Mallona steps….
There are many more great excursions to be made into the highlands. I'm sad, for instance, that we didn´t have time for a trip to the Gipuzkoa side of the mountains, to see the towns of Tolosa (where the beans come from) and Idiazabal (where the cheese comes from), and so on.
Even though I would have probably have been petrified.
