Shell and pulp

Artxiboko irudian, Donostiako Kontxa / FOKU

Iñaki Beraetxe said this in the Basque Country: “I believe that in Euskal Herria we have made a serious mistake by giving so much importance to the continents [to appearance], and to consideration [to content] nothing. Things are like this in all capitals, where great constructions have been made.”

On the pretext that the Kursaal of San Sebastian has reached a quarter of a century, asking Beraetxe if he has been there many times, is implicitly to give him in the tray “what he thinks of the project”, knowing how the degree of precariousness of the body builders in Euskera is and, normally, when Beraetxe is not going to remain silent. Answer: “I’ve done a few things occasionally.” He then launched the criticism that has been taken to the top lines. In addition to Kursaal, he talked about Tabakalera and more.

In the middle of the beach season, for anyone who wants to see them, the races of a hundred meters of the retirees are shown, to occupy a place right in front of the water bank, an accountant to record who and when he has placed the hat of the first sun – a guy took the place on the beach at 5:36 a.m. and no, the man did not come from the parranda – a contest “grato”, another man stuck in the first line. And photos, photos and pictures. Instagram, Tic Tok and more, shop away. To tell him that we are here and that very well. As if sunbathing was the best plan of all time...

Some people don't want to look at this massive showcase. If you have decided not to be on these channels, surely your lot of acquaintances – know why everyone – have been in Portugal this year and especially in the Azores. But you are not free to see it: What are the newscasters for if not to say how well we live the Basques?

Zygmunt Bauman spoke of fluid times and was right, everything is changing and more revolving. Everything revolves around the stylism and trends of the shell, although it is not about showing the shell. Perhaps what has changed is that what is on the other side is less and less interested in going to the bottom and that is the tendency to stay there, at the shell.
