Andde Dubois (Argazkia: Idoki)

The boy entered the ELB. I still remember the photo of your first press conference with Mixel, Kiki and Eric. In Alabaina, you have soon taken precautions in the treasury and in the union to become a man of great will. You are a farmer of great will and you have shown great will in the ELB at the same time.

Very young but soon he realized that the crisis in cow's milk was structural, linked to the capitalist system. Cow's milk had made so many families and families live in time.

You always have to do more: more milk, more work for less.

That was the poison for you, for us. And here's just one corner of the dairy cow farm that's right here today. You complain about it and it hurts you.

Seeing this, to save your property, to give hope to others, you and Emilie in Uhaldegaraia have devised another system, an alternative.

You want to show that it was possible to make a farm live, a family with about twenty cows with milk. On a small biological farm, taking care of the environment, respecting the consumer and being self-accommodating, you stood up with us for the values you defended.

Although in Uhaldegaraia the work has not been done, with Emilie the two have continued to commit to the OECD, one on the farm and one on direct sale. What a stop, what an effective team.

You could still use time collectively to help others. Dedicating so much time to the union, to the association of producers of housing-Idoki. Normal in worms. Wanting to find a way out for you and find one for others. But we heard them say that, of that group of spirits, you would regain the strength of the part that they gave you. ELB was like a second family.

In the last few weeks the occupation of Arbona was simply continuing. There too, we are fully committed. I couldn't help but see that the farm, where dairy cows once grew, became a fun setting, accommodating that immense price.

You're a man, an intelligent militant. But they're fragile. Like all of us. This is life itself, fragile. Not the day or the morning. It does so for such a short time. The cities that have passed have been asked a thousand questions. What is Andde about? In this modern life, we would like to have answers to all the questions.

It used to stop with a simple way of telling them, that it goes randomly, and we can’t do anything…

You took care of yourself collectively for your whole life. With lunch from the city and lunch for others. On the farm, in the family, in the fight, in the plague.

For the handcuffed men we have known within the ELB, I think I can say that it can be an example for your coerence, courage, commitment. A man honored, simple, executioner, joyful and above all so sociable. Andde, it leaves so many nice memories.

A cry of thanks for the scratch you have left inside us.

And we crave a lot of courage to Emilie, to Abenttin, to Mikela and the whole family.

We can help Andde smoothly. Calm down, Andde, we will follow the fight to the death.

Goodbye, friend, goodbye, comrade.
