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.

The Gaztetxe de Laudio and the newly created Defense Community have organized solidarity festivals in the coming weeks in the Casa de Orbe de Llodio, in the Casco Viejo de Bilbao and in the Gaztetxe de Vitoria.

On 13 June, after mobilizations against the eviction of the Gaztetxe, the Ertzaintza imposed the Moorish law on six young people who were protesting. Each young person has received a fine of EUR 700, with a total of EUR 4,000 and concerts are organised to deal with it.

First festival, 21 January

The Casa de Orbe hosts the first of the three solidarity festivals. The appointment will be on January 21 from 21:00. The Ukabil, Rodeo and Habemus Papam teams operate. The revenue shall be EUR 4 and the revenue shall be used in full for the payment of fines.

This is not the first festival organized in the Casa de Orbe for sanctioned young people. On 25 November, on the eve of the Laudio Gazte Eguna, the Jipis Atomicos, Garena and Build A Bomb groups organized fundraising concerts.

The other quotations will be on 2 February and 9 February respectively in Bilbao and Vitoria. In the coming weeks, the musical groups will be announced that will act at these two festivals.
