Even if things change quickly and vividly, some things don’t change: The Light Awards event is one of them. This is what an outside journalist who has come to this chronicler in need has told him, along with the fact that LUZ has changed a lot before the awards ceremony begins. I was doing it for the good, if anyone doubted the tone.

That sounds like something to think about. In a world where things change quickly, social media plays this role: it gives people the feeling that the world is spinning fast and we’re walking around like hamsters. I would have done the same tour before, when the world was analog, but the feeling has increased, no doubt. Recently, the almost 80-year-old Emperor, Donald Trump, has been haunted by those in power in the world of social media and technology, and LARA, in its speech at the awards ceremony, reports his departure from toxic social media. Why, and to act from the smallness, to influence the popular. In a state of calm.

Light If the day of the awards is a day of calm, stress of some. It is an elegant confluence for the Basque and the Basque Country, because it is here that, just around lunch, Navarrese and passionate Basque thieves fight for historical memory; bodybuilders who walk both behind and in front of the camera, better known or not; noble people who are demonstrating that it is possible to influence journalism in San Sebastián and who walk from school to school to create breathing spaces without mobile phones; and artists who also teach children dances and songs in Basque. If culture is going to save us, let it be once this speed is stopped.

We meet at the Atxega Palace, friends who are indispensable supporters of LUZ: subscribers, represented by those who have been around for more than 50 years. Ane, Dioni, Endika, Jesus Mari, Maria Luisa and Maider. They would see how the LIGHT has changed and how it remains the same. Even what he wants to do next.
