Viva Pamplona! The platform has highlighted that it has been working for more than ten years in favor of "popular, participatory, Euskaldun and feminist parties". "It has been the meeting point of the festival commissions of the neighborhoods, the peñas, the cultural and public agents, the feminist movement and the collectives of the Basque Country".
In this time, there have been days and processes of debate "to deepen the festive model, discussing and theorizing about the values on which it is based and proposing practices for its materialization". "We have demonstrated with enthusiasm and effort, from teamwork, that other parties can be set up in Pamplona," they added.
Highlights are more achievements: "We have made it possible for the reusable glass to enter all parties and for the institutions to work in this line. Very important work has been done in raising awareness of the popular movement in the responsibility of managing and responding to the sexist aggressions that occur in our festivities, developing a unitary collective protocol. There have been many instruments, frameworks and processes that have been put in place over these years to gradually materialize the festive model we dream of".
In the note there is also room for the critical author: "We've learned a lot together. Some things we've done well and others haven't done so well. We have celebrated and enjoyed our small achievements. We laugh, we cry, we've shared a lot of time and a lot of things, we've made ourselves a small family."
In any case, they feel that the time for the initiative has passed: “We believe that the platform has ended its journey as a tool. We have taken many steps forward towards that holiday model that we want, but we are aware that there is a lot of work to be done”, the lehendakari has concluded.
In this sense, he has announced that he finishes his work to "create new tools for a new holiday model, new alliances and alliances that are effective to continue working for a new holiday model in Pamplona".
Finally, it states the following: "It's been a joy to share space and fight with all the people we've met on our way, thank you very much," he added.
