Urumeako mendietan Enigma Green Power enpresak egin nahi duen Ikatz Gane makroproiektuak 200 metrotik gorako bost aerosorgailu ezarri nahi ditu Hernaniko (Gipuzkoa) lurretan, baina Aranoko (Nafarroa) herrigunetik oso gertu. “Ezin dugu onartu Ikatz Gane proiektuak aurrera egitea, Aranoko herriaren gainbehera izango litzatekeelako”, adierazi dute herritarrek: aranoarren %96k eman du proiektuaren aurkako sinadura.

Bizitako euforia kolektiboaren ondoren, nire asmoa ez da inoren poza zapuztea, baina gure herriaren asimilazioa noraino iritsi den ikusarazi nahiko nuke. Lehenik eta behin, historia pixka bat: 1909ko irailaren 7an Sociedad de Foot-Ball de San Sebastián taldea sortu zen; bost hilabete geroago, 1910eko otsailaren 11n, Espainiako Alfonso XIII.a erregeak, asmo osoz, Real titulua eman zion, eta ondorioz, izenaren hasieran hitz hori gehitzeaz gain, jatorrizko armarria zen baloi eta bandera txuri-urdinari Borboi erregeen koroa gehitu zitzaion. Errepublika garaian, taldearen izenari Real kendu eta armarritik koroa ezabatu zen; baina frankismoan berriro gehitu ziren biak, eta oraindik horrela gaude. Himnoari dagokionez, sorreratik desberdinak izan dituen arren, 1970ean, Ricardo Sabadie musikariak gaur egungoa sortu zuen. Orduko presidentea zen Jose Luis Orbegozori aurkeztu zionean, letran Donostia bakarrik aipatzen zenez, presidenteak Gipuzkoaren aipamena gehitzea eskatu zion Sabadieri eta horrela egin zuen. Letra horretan ez zegoen monarkiaren aipamenik; orain, baina, “aurrera mutilak” abestu beharrean “aurrera Reala” abesten da. Emakumeak ez baztertzearekin guztiz ados, baina ez al zegoen Reala ez den beste hitzik? Cartujako finalean Alfonso XIII haren birbiloba den Felipe VI.ari txistu egin ziotenean ez dakit zer pasatuko zitzaion burutik, baina horrelako zerbait izan zitekeen: “Zuek lasai egin txistu, baina bitartean Gora Reala oihukatu eta jarraitu nire koroa zuen bihotzen parean eramaten”. Esnatu gaitezen behingoz! Behera Borboiak eta gora Txuri-urdinak! Patxi Olabarria Irizar

Herri, ekimen, lege. Hiru hitz eder. Bakoitzeko lehen hizkiekin beste hitz bat osa genezake, tradizio luzekoa den arren hitz kasik ahantzia eta, beraz, askorentzat bitxia. HEL dugu hitz hori. Iparraldeko klasikoek, eta herriak berak, laguntza eskatzeko dei edo aldarri legez erabilia. Hel! Esango duzue, sokorru edo sokorri eskea, hel? Ingelesek help! bezala, kasik. Ba bai, kasik, baina kasik baino ez. Guri, Urdaibai Biosferaren Erreserbari legezko nortasuna aitorrarazteko bidean abiatzekotan garen lehengooi, poza eman digu Herri Ekimen Legegilea HEL aldarriarekin parekatzen dela. Hitzen sorginkeria esaten dena. Urdaibairen magiaren alde. Ze, herkideok, Erreserbako bihotz delikatuak, landarezko birikiek, txori begiek, urek eta ibaiek –Ur da ibai, Urdaibai– aldarri horixe egiten digutela aditzen dugu. HEL deiadarra. Deiadar hori Erreserbaren berrogeitik gora urteko historia guztian inoizko larriena izan da azken urteotan, haren bihotzean iltzatu nahi izan duten egitasmoaren erditze minetan bizi izan ditugunetan, ba. Erditzea ez da burutu. Dena dela, bihotz horren min aurrez sentituaren aldarria aditu dugu. Horregatik ba, Urdaibaiko gune minbera horiei, aldarri egitetik hitz egiterako, ahotsa izaterako urratsa ematen lagundu nahi diegu. Zuok ez dituzue Urdaibai Biosferaren Erreserbaren hel aldarriok aditu? Ez? Hala bada, esango diguzue beharbada ea nor garen gu, aldarri hori, are Urdaibairen ahotsa aditzen dugula esateko. Burutik ez ote gauden, laster beste ahots batzuk entzuten hasiko ez ote garen. Litekeena azken hori. Ez dugu uste burutik gaudenik. Halaxe ba, hitzen sorginkerietatik eta inguruaren magiatik antzinako ipuinetara jo beharko dugu. Ipuin hiperlabur batera. Resurreccion Maria Azkuek bildu zuen, Euskalerriaren Yakintza liburu infinituan. Hona ipuina, geuk moldaturik. Antzina-antzina izaki den-denak mintzatzen ziren, baita belarrak eurak ere, goroldioa izan ezik. Denei atzendu zitzaien, ahaztu zitzaien goroldioari irakatsi ezinik. Belarren mintzoa aditzen dugula, bai erokeria! Ez al zen erokeria handiagoa erreserbako lur eta gune gozoenak, landara, arrain, narrasti, hegazti, lurpeko eta urpekoen bizi-guneak saldu nahia? Horiexen hel! Aldarria belarrietan durundi eginda. Amerikar indigena haien hitzetara jo beharko dugu, ba? Seattle eta Joseph haienetara? “Gizon zuriak uste du ingurumenak baduela jabea…”. “Nik ez dut inoiz lurra nirea denik esan, nahi dudan guztia egin ahal izateko. Lurrarekin nahi duena egiteko eskubidea Lurraren sortzaileak baino ez du”... Eta abar. Esan izan zaigu Urdaibai ez dela indio-erreserba, eta ez, ez da. Esan beharrik ez dago. Gaur hemen aurkezten dugun Herri Ekimen Legegile hau landu dutenak askotariko ahotsak aditzen dakitenak dira. Legearen testua arduraz eta ganoraz taxutu dute. 1.837 hitzetan. Gaur, maiatzak bederatzi dituela, munduko hegazti migratzaileen egunean, hitzok haien mokoetan jarrita lau haizeetara zabaldu nahi ditugu. Hel daitezen, irits daitezen, Zeelanda Berrira, non gu lako batzuek hango ibai bati,  Whanganui izenekoari, lege-nortasuna ematea erdietsi zuten. 2017an izan zen hori. Bidean eroan bezate albistea Iberiar Penintsulako Itsaso Txikira, zeinak,  iazko otsailetik, baduen bere lege-nortasuna. Guk gure aldetik zuoi herritarroi helarazten dizuegu ekimena, aliatu bihur zaitezten. Nahiz banan bana, nahiz talde legez. Adi ditugu Urdaibaiko padura eta arroa, ea gure HEL hau euren HEL aldarriari erantzuteko garaiz iristen den. Edorta Jimenez eta Erroxeli Ojinaga

On Tuesday, his executive budget proposal earmarked $122 million to hire 1,000 educators.“We have asked Albany to extend the deadline to meet this mandate,” Mamdani said. “It will allow us to implement an achievable plan that better serves both our students and our teachers.”The move marks a major reversal from his pledge on the campaign trail to swiftly reduce class sizes.The mayor’s latest budget proposal includes other new details about his spending priorities for the nation’s largest school district. He vowed to address the ballooning costs to the Education Department of private special education services “head on.” And he also revealed plans to boost wages of some early childhood education workers. Still, several education programs are on track to run out of funding this summer that were not included in the mayor’s budget. Here are four key takeaways from the mayor’s budget proposal, which is subject to negotiations with the City Council. A final deal is expected by July 1. Plugging the city’s budget deficit hinges on a delay to the class size lawMamdani has long supported state’s class size law capping classrooms at 20 to 25 students depending on the grade level. Though he plans to slash his initial teacher hiring pot of money, he indicated on Tuesday that he is adding $1.5 billion in capital funding for the School Construction Authority to help the city comply with the class size mandate.“Make no mistake: We are fully committed to fulfilling the state mandate in a meaningful way on a realistic timeline that New Yorkers can actually trust,” Mamdani said.But meeting next school year’s goal — of having 80% of classrooms comply with the law — would be a major challenge, education officials previously warned. Many schools don’t have enough space to shrink classes and finding thousands of new teachers remains a hurdle. Officials have been reluctant to pursue other solutions such as restricting enrollment at crowded campuses.State Sen. John Liu, an architect of the law, said he expects the legislature to tweak the policy as part of the state’s forthcoming budget. Instead of requiring that 80% of classrooms comply, the state would mandate 70%, with the expectation that all classrooms would meet the caps over the next two or three years.Even that could pose a strain: This year, the city only surpassed its 60% target after issuing exemptions for thousands of classrooms.“The intent is to see 100% compliance by the end of this mayor’s first term,” Liu told Chalkbeat on Tuesday, noting that he is confident those changes will come in the state budget, now more than a month overdue. “Mayor Mamdani has made clear he’s committed to 100% compliance.”City officials say they’re getting serious about private special education costsMamdani said he would take on the growing cost in the Education Department’s budget of private services for students with disabilities, vowing to beef up public programs and save $149 million in the process. The city’s Education Department now spends well over $1 billion — or roughly $1 out of every $40 in its budget — on private special education services.A majority of that cost is private school tuition and support for families who contend the city can’t serve their children in a public school. Those families are overwhelmingly white, a recent Chalkbeat analysis found. Mamdani said the city is investing in more public programs to lure them back into the system. Budget documents show the city is spending $67 million next year in new funding for preschool special education, a chronic shortage area. Another big chunk comes from families in private schools who never considered a public school but nonetheless have a right to tutoring, speech therapy, and other services financed by the city. The city is planning to spend $86 million to shore up its ability to provide those services directly rather than relying on private providers, budget documents show. “We are investing in special education services across the five boroughs so that families can get the support they need inside the public school system,” the mayor said. “That means better outcomes for families, fewer unnecessary lawsuits, and long-term savings for our city.” Previous administrations have made similar promises, and costs have continued to rise. More money for early childhood educationMamdani’s budget announcement includes more than $100 million in new early childhood spending. The city is committing $40 million to provide a roughly 2% across-the-board raise for workers at community organizations contracting with the city Education Department for programs like 3-K and prekindergarten. Those organizations have been locked in the same contract without pay increases since 2021. Their contracts were set to expire this year, but officials announced a two-year extension. The $40 million will ensure workers see a modest pay bump while the new contracts are crafted. The money will also provide larger pay increases for non-unionized workers to bring them up to par with staffers who are part of a labor union, said Nora Moran, the director of policy and advocacy at United Neighborhood Houses, an umbrella organization for early childhood providers.“The Mayor has clearly listened to feedback from parents, educators, and advocates,” Moran said in a statement.The budget also adds $67 million to fund preschool special education seats, an area where the city has historically fallen short. Another $2 million will fund a fledgling free childcare program for municipal workers.Funding for other education programs is in limboThe mayor’s latest proposal restored $31 million in funding for Learning to Work, a program that pays for internships, social workers, and guidance counselors for students at risk of dropping out. The program has routinely faced the possibility of budget cuts each year only for funding to be restored at the last minute. Now, City Hall is vowing to guarantee funding in future years. But other programs remain on the chopping block. Students and advocates rallied in March outside the Education Department's headquarters to save the Learning to Work program.Mamdani’s budget does not include $12 million for a wraparound program for students with disabilities who have sensory issues that interfere with school performance. Nor does it include $6 million for restorative justice, a conflict resolution approach that prioritizes talking through problems rather than punitive discipline.A $5 million mental health initiative that provides students with faster access to counseling and other support at about 50 high-need schools also remains in limbo, though it has been restored in prior years during negotiations with City Council.“Students, families, educators, and providers want assurance that they can continue relying on these programs in future years,” the Coalition for Equitable Education Funding, which represents over 120 organizations, said in a statement.Alex Zimmerman is a senior reporter for Chalkbeat New York, covering NYC public schools.
