We just spent Christmas. It is known that it is not a very sweet time for everyone; in our house it is a time of a lot of work: sheep breed, cheese must be made, winter, few fodder on the grasslands and what we receive in summer must be given inside.

That is what has to be a farmer and a shepherd, which is not a day without work. However, I have lived with illusion on Christmas days, without having to go to kindergarten, and with the hope of Olentzero or the gifts of kings. Walking home in the neighborhood singing in Nochebuena also has that special charm. I'm a party fan and these days offer a great opportunity for the party in your youth. Seeing his relatives rolling the ribs of the lambred lamb has also awakened me a point of pride.

This year my Christmas has been special, for a knee operation I have not been able to help the delivery of sheep, I have not helped the lambs to breastfeed and I cannot make cheese for the time being. But everything has something sweet and I have been given the opportunity to be close to the children, which I normally have not been able to offer at this time, even if it is not a time of great quality.

I was delighted to see what letter the eldest daughter wrote the letter to Olentzero, Mari Domingi and Reyes Magos. He has been the secretary of our house and has written the letters on behalf of all, because we all deserve the gifts. He also doesn't forget the little brothers, who don't know how to write, so he takes charge.

The truth is that at the end of the year we have received many letters: invoices before the end of the accounting year, several suppliers wishing Merry Christmas and Good Year ... But this year, aesthetics has moved us a neglected envelope. A sticker with our address over the box office envelope of someone who has not even placed the sender. Before I opened it, I gave a couple of laps to the envelope… I don’t expect anyone’s bill in this envelope… Any long-time friend, perhaps, to congratulate Christmas? Who?

No! We have received a letter that we did not want to receive. The company Statkraft has sent it to us in Basque and Spanish. With little shame, they want to put wind meters on our land and we want them to be given permission. Data have been obtained from land owners on Sañu (we do not know where and how). On October 11, 2022 we were told that they had a project and that with popular consensus they would do “only” the project. Well, the neighbours and many citizens have clearly said no to this project, that we know what we have to lose. But not only that, we know that this project is not possible under the current conditions in Sañun, among other things because it is not compatible with the general urban planning plans of our peoples, and the PTS of Renewable Energies in the process also rejects the establishment of such a plant on the site. From an environmental point of view, what to say: Ecological corridor between the protected areas of Izarraitz, Pagoeta and Heran-Gazume, accommodation of different protected species, neighbourhoods and villages at unsustainable distances... Hence the company's attempt to avoid and silence the usual environmental impact. No harm than the fine members of Sañu Bizirik are working and attentive.

Neighbours and neighbours have total defencelessness, and citizens too, because this project will not bring more benefits than harm to the citizens. I think it’s time that “it’s enough! !”. The Sañu project will be made public shortly, as the Trekutz and Buruzai projects have emerged. We have 30 days to make allegations about these projects. Sañu Bizirik! Also in Oleta! have prepared popular claims and in the corners of the town you will have a wide range of days and hours: Sign all!
