From Elosu to Zizurkil, Free Mountains of Gipuzkoa

  • One year after the first meeting in Zumarraga. Most of us did not know each other and yet we were able to imagine and feed together, each from their people, what would happen in Elosu. Communication, buses, posters, schedules, exhibition, what to say, pintxos, food, music...
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Elosu's didn't end in Elosu. The words, irritation and emotions surrounding the wind turbine that we formed in that large prairie have brought us here to say that the network that we then cushioned has not dissolved. Moreover, as the windmill made up of people expanded out of the grass, our network has also expanded.

Let us not think, however, that the network has spread spontaneously, as you have extended its stirrups. The ghosts and solidarity of the energy macro-projects have opened the Montes de Gipuzkoa in Libre, and as in Gipuzkoa, in the rest of the territories.

For a year we have learned a great deal and we have taken over every single strand of the network, because it is clear to us that without it we will be even more unprotected from this electric tsunami.

The fibre of helplessness offers our network at least four strands: we have no knowledge; despite time, we are distressed; what to say about money; and the laws and standards are of others. The raw material that the lack of protection offers our network is strong. We only have our support. Some had the threat before, they had to soak up before in that strange sea of laws and norms, and move on to tidal orders that set deadlines for claims and bureaucracies.

In order for the network to be possible, we also need yarns that open up along it and that are complicated to keep each other. We have learned from the threats that exist in each people. The failure of the neighbour has given us attention and his joy has given us strength to move forward. In addition to the legal steps we have been sharing month by month, we have found a space to talk about the concerns, the concern and the tiredness that this one we live causes. Because, as in other struggles, from the beginning we realized we got into one of those ultra trail: hard and long. And as in these cases, here too gives you the impossibility and you need someone to pull out while you're resting, or someone to pick up and drain your tears.

"We know that our struggle is just and necessary for young people and their descendants to have a future."

A strong net-edge rope that gives stability and strength, gives us the conviction that we are defending the land and the future of our children. We know that we are doing well, with all our shortcomings, that our struggle is just as necessary for young people and their descendants to have a future.

This society has no right to continue to nurture an economic system in which the lives of children and young people are impossible. It is becoming increasingly clear that the aim of these macro-projects is not to care for nature and life, but to care for the interests of multinationals, investment funds and other sharks.

They want us to believe that with the industrialization of the sea, mountains and fields we can live better, be happier. However, they do not tell us that without them you cannot eat, you cannot breathe, you are not happy, you cannot live. They don't tell us that we need those who live in all these ecosystems, who are our protection, that we're not going to live well if they all disappear. That is, interdependence is the rule of life.

This year that we have spent together, in the groups that form Free Mountains of Gipuzkoa, despite the impediments that persist, we feel that we have something to celebrate, although the road has not been very sweet, and that we have something to offer to our society. That is why we want to invite you to Zizurkil on 22 October. At the Bertsos session at noon, we want to open a window with a broad landscape, an opportunity to reflect on the energy here and there, with breadth and tranquility. The next lunch, etc., will create a new atmosphere, also nice, and we will gain strength to be here next year.

It is not an easy task to define what the new US mandate will bring in the economic sphere. The axis of the new economic strategy will be the peculiar union between liberalism and protectionism for the external sector. Despite what has happened in the United States on a regular... [+]


Technology
Because to receive is to give

The evolution that the Internet has taken over the last 15 years, together with its technological and business model, makes us think that it is a tool to increase the worst aspects of humanity. Around the world, agents have been created that are not satisfied with this idea... [+]

I want with you

In recent years, I have made little progress. I have said it many times, I know, but just in case. Today I attended a bertsos session. “I wish you a lot.” Yes, that is why I have warned that I leave little, I assume that you are attending many cultural events, and that you... [+]

I remember them.

In 2006, Baltasar Garzón, then star judge, suffered a kind of revelation and drafted a practice that guaranteed the rights of those detained for terrorism. The same judge saw hundreds of incommunicado detainees pass through his room, many with obvious signs of ill-treatment,... [+]

From perseverance

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

Land of witches

It is said that Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have complicit in the lines of the oppressed. It seems very normal to me... What do you want? When you're down, it's also understandable that you want to improve your condition, and... [+]


Our body is a battlefield.

The essential thing is people.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Fog

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]


To live in Basque, the Republic of Euskera

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]

When the thirst for profit chokes

The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]


We have argued against the Navarre Energy Plan that does not plan

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.

Rusophobia before and now (II)

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
