"The coronavirus pandemic has put our world in check until what was unthinkable a month ago," they point out in the cover letter published on the website. "Our living space has been reduced, our way of life has changed, our relationship with our environment, our coexistence and relationships, our work, our expectations and expectations for the future, our structures of power and modes of command… and all of this, in addition to the fluidity of the deaths of the closest (and the farthest) who happen every day."

In his words, there are many people who during these days show solidarity with the victims of the pandemic and their caregivers, not only with the applause of eight in the afternoon, but also as a doctor, as a salesman and participating in many other jobs and tasks. "Can we do something that we have thought in the trade?" they ask. "What does this situation tell us that we have never met? What does the future hold for us? What will the reaction of Basque society, a society that already had serious structural problems, be in the immediate and uncertain future? ". Around these questions, platform members will meet around the table.

Image of the Zumeta

The image of the platform was made by José Luis Zumeta shortly before he died last April, according to Interior. "The authors of this collective work have a special debt to the artist José Luis Zumeta, generous and indispensable," said the promoters of this new initiative. "He was an artist endowed with an extraordinary force and the color splashes of his works of art were spectacular. His energy was warm, as his sensitivity, always ready to collaborate in the main challenges of his people and of his human being. When we asked him to participate in this initiative called a pandemic and we, he committed to make a header image of this space that aims to gather our reflections, questions and concerns. The Enlightenment also reflects in some way its nature: natural and simple. Making this gift to Euskal Herria with the help of our invitation and giving it a few hours before death was a gesture of great artistic clarity and human quality that has filled us with the heart of gratitude."
