On 12 October, the Gipuzkoako Mendia Aske group convened a mountain tour to Elosua, in Bergara, to show its opposition to wind farm projects.

Companies such as Green Capital or Statkraft are unveiling "projects" for the installation of wind farms in different municipalities of Gipuzkoa. They have explained that "groups or platforms for the protection of the natural, archaeological, geological, historical, landscape and spiritual heritage of their mountains are emerging at the same pace, as well as the inhabitants of the villages and villages around them, their place of residence, their place of residence, their health.

The Gipuzkoa Mountains consist of numerous groups of municipalities such as Azkoitia, Azpeitia, Bergara, Elgoibar, Soraluze, Urretxu and Zumarraga, Zizurkil, Usurbil and Zestoa. As he pointed out in a note, "the priority of the wind projects presented is not to guarantee the needs and well-being of the citizens of Gipuzkoa, but to satisfy the wishes of the big companies". Thus, he states that "the same model is repeated" in other parts of the world.

In the face of the energy crisis we are experiencing, Gipuzkoako Mendia Askek has called for a "joint and integral social reflection", "and then rational planning".

On Wednesday at 12:30 in Elosua, a collective appearance will be held and attendees will be able to eat.
