Sovereignty and the nation of the 21st century will be examined by Gure Esku at his second sovereign conference

On the occasion of sovereignty and the nation in the 21st century, Gure Esku will hold his second sovereign conference on 28 February atthe Bizkaia Aretoa in Bilbao, which will bring together sociologists, historians and journalists, including the President of Òm￮ cultural, Xavier Antich.

Josu Etxaburu has presented this conference as a "spacefor reflection and exchange of views "on national and sovereign issues, the first held last year in Ficoba, in Irun, and has announced that they intend to stabilize the initiative on their annual agenda.

According to Gure Esku, "it is clear that the ideas ofnation and sovereignty are back, "but he has warned that" in many cases they are linked to reactionary foundations. "

On this day, Gure Esku wants to focus on the international context . Nayua Aduh has pointed out that "political forces that bar the defense of the nation are gaining ground in different parts of the world." But she has stressed that these movements are characterized by "exclusion, xenophobia, anti-feminism, denial of rights, climate negationism..."

However, Gure Esku is convinced that there is another model; "open, unfocused on essentialism and based on the rights of citizens"; and he is convinced that the vast majority of Basques share it.

On 28 February, they will discuss, among other things, what is happening in the world today, and especially in stateless nations; the historical and contemporary keys of the nation; or the ways in which the nation can be built away from exclusion. 

In addition, Zelai Nikolas will interview Xavier Antich , president of Òm

Registration for the conference will be open on Wednesday, February 4, on the Gure Esku website.
