Where is the people?

  • The boundary between micro and macro concepts is diffuse, and although interaction is diffuse, it also influences. Also in us. The problem comes when in the fog blindness we don't get right where we are, where the people are.

Eibarko Errebal Plazia. taperarkitektura.com

16 December 2024 - 06:07

The attendees of the presentation of the book Rumarrean in Elgoibar said the fair will run out of place. He went down the building and headed to the health home, elegant. There is no trace of the new market, it does not seem to breathe. With the elegant Valencian supermarket on the outskirts of the city, it seems that it will be enough: if you have parking, there will also be a public bus stop on the portal. A kilometer, then.

The accounts of the Eibar differ from those of Aspe. Apparently, under pressure from some neighbours, the City Hall put an end to ten years of agony at the baserritarras fair and placed it in Errebal Square. There is also the Basagune store, a space dedicated to organic food. I found it curious, however, that nothing should appear on the Internet referring to the fair of baserritarras or to Basagune. In most cases, Errebal Plazia is a public place of culture and citizen participation, as stated by the City of Eibar itself on its website.

I doubt that in the context of these cultures and of these public interventions the Eibarres understand that there is also a fair of baserritarras. Errebal Plazia could have another force for the baserritars and producers. If you're in the nearby valleys, where to study. It is enough to walk towards the Urola or climb the Valle del Deba to find interesting projects underway; two different itineraries that have gone in the same direction: the closest organizations, the baserritarras and the common citizenship assuming responsibility for food.

Unfortunately, those who are often heard on the streets of these projects that strengthen communities are often not sweet: "They've also received public money." "they make unfair competition to the small shops of the people, they will close them"... What has been heard in the Goierri region is no easier. The butcher of a village spoke with satisfaction in what the elegant Valencian supermarket would open its doors: more opportunities, wide offer for all... It's been two years since then. Will you have the same
opinion?We can bring the mirror and turn it around: Where do we buy those of us who go to fairs and cooperatives to sell our own vegetables, meat, dairy, breads, etc.? ? How many faces do we know in our refrigerators and closets? - How many kilometers are there from Atharry to Tardets? They asked me.

Sometimes we find it difficult to distinguish the enemy. In this fog blindness, we are not able to guess where the people are, and we are going to devote ourselves to the shark that is going to eat, mound and joyful; following the dream of becoming
a shark once and nowhere, to self-phagocysation. And of course, the agreement between the European Union and Mercosur, signed last day 6 in Montevideo, takes us out of the social waste. Because we know, among other things, that in that agreement the EU industry, pharmaceutical companies, energy companies, etc., will be able to easily pay those businesses, which will make up 82% of beef, soya and other agricultural products without tariff.

But insults are going to make us forget that the unknown faces of our fridges and shelves are linked to this agreement. That we are filling our grave with every euro we supposedly save in supermarkets, without leaving room for us cuerpo.En the context of
the floods in Valencia, I have heard and read the verse of Antonio Machado: Only the people save the people.

Will we remember that we too are a people? Will we know what the people are?

Watering in winter
In February, when we are in the middle of winter, the priority is to have a well-watered body. Just like the walnut is doing: it uses the roots as a reservoir in winter, it needs short and thick roots to collect water and nutrients from the soil.
