Concentrations in the Navarra Arena
As explained by the Coordinator, the “2nd Congress of Industry for the Ecological Transition will be held in Navarre on 6 and 7 October. It is an International Congress that aims to give a new vision of it. In the two days mentioned, they have also called for the concentrations to be held in front of Navarre at the opening and closing ceremonies. 6 October, from 8:30 to 10:00 in the morning and 7 October, from 17:30 to 20:00.
It is clear to the Coordinator that all citizens must be involved in the energy transition: “It’s not just about replacing oil with renewables.” They have also specified what kind of action is needed: Define energy needs, reduce energy demand, consume as much energy as possible, involve urban and industrial centres in energy production, ensure universal access to a social good such as energy, transform the models of mobility, agriculture, livestock and industry and reconcile energy production with the conservation of fertile soil, biodiversity and cultural heritage. They have summed up with a round sentence what they mean: “The cart cannot go ahead of the oxen and the energy oligopoly cannot lead the energy transition.”
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

I don't know if we're hit by heat waves anymore, if it's a normal hypocrisy or a systemic logic, but the gap between what we know, what we say and what we do, beyond concern, surprises me, especially in a summer environment. News, research, social media interactions… constitute a... [+]
