Ane Elordi: "It was the Union's Korrika"
- Ane Elordi has pointed out in the Basque Country that in 11 days he experiences many emotional experiences. “The emotional hangover, the work done for two years, the gratitude, the support, all Euskal Herria has met in Bayona… We have experienced very special moments on the last day.”
Yesterday it was an emotion festival for the Basque Country, but above all for the head of the Korrika, Ane Elordi. He has made a rapid assessment of the Korrika in the Basque Country. “AEK needs Korrika, but the Basque also needs Korrika,” said Elordi, and stressed that this year’s one was “that of the union”: “In the Korrika there have been many agents, each with their fields and opinions, all of them united by the Basque.”
“We’ve noticed that at times less crowded there have been more people and more people coming together.” Thus, he thanked those who have travelled solitary miles. Although it has not given any quantities, it seems, 22. They think it's gotten past running, with more protection, with more people.

Some comments were made in Baiona, but Elordi has focused on the fact that the Basques have the “right to live proud in Basque”. “There is a whole world in Basque, we have to open the doors, we have to give the opportunity to those who know but do not know to learn and gratuity is necessary to learn Basque.” As Garazi Arrulak stated in his message: “Korrika is a Gose people.”
Not more than a year living in Vitoria when I first saw Korrika. It was daylight, I was carrying my daughter in a backpack, and a bunch of speakers around me, and among those friends, Rosa, who is still beside me. About her daughter, what to say, is almost 14 years old, and in... [+]
For eleven days, from 14 to 24 March, the corners of Euskal Herria will run 23 March. Running. Photographs sent by AEK are being collected in this gallery.
