Defend popular parties and txosnas!


18 July 2020 - 09:38

The lockdown and the worst moments of the health crisis are left behind. In the permanent memory of those who have left, it is the responsibility of all to care for those who are sick or frightened. But life continues its path, building every day the quality of the new normality. While governments have opened companies, shops, bars and election campaigns, some mayors have made decisions about summer parties and, taking advantage of the state of emergency, have left the party and txosnas commissions constituted by popular movements.

"If possible in the workplaces, beaches, swimming pools, parks, supermarkets, culture rooms, restaurants and bars, why can't the health and distance measures be complied with in the txosnas areas we installed in the streets and open plazas?"

Given this situation, several groups participating in the organization of popular festivities (Bilboko Konpartsak, Donostiako Piratak, Herri Sanfermin, Federación de Peñas de Pamplona, Txosnas de Vitoria and Associations de blusas y Neskas) published a joint statement. “While we citizens have realized the importance of mutual care, recentralization and the desire to defend health and life, the authorities have realised that the popular festivities are taking place. We have been rejected, we have not been told. Once again, they have left the popular festivities in the background, regardless of the participation of the citizens,” they denounced.

As is well known, parties are essential to build our neighborhood and citizenship. So why is there no place for parties in the new normalcy? Why is it not possible to adapt to this new situation the local holidays which are so important from a religious and Community point of view? In the Basque Country there are 686 municipalities and there will be new ways to celebrate the holidays. As the popular agents of the capitals say, “in these tough times, we citizens need more than ever the joy, the color, the collectivity that the parties give us. For this reason, we call on all the party commissions of the Basque Country to organize themselves in favor of the popular festivities and, with all the health and safety measures, to make an innovative offer”. We organize and enjoy safe and healthy holidays.

What does 2025 bring?

I've done a quick analysis of the technology forecasts for 2025. Like every year, when you talk about what technology is going to bring to the media in 2025, the discourse is very similar. Many of us who write about technology have the anxiety of knowing more than it's going to... [+]

Basque Country with three speeds

When we woke up, culturally and administratively, the landscape showed a three-speed disaster.

As far as culture is concerned, I had the opportunity – once again – to confirm this last November 14 at the Mint library in Ortzaize. There we met because Eñaut Etxamendi... [+]

Snow

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]


Ended with Palestine (and with the world)

The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:

They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]

How much is important?

As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.

When we are unable to

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]
