Eneritz Maiz began his chronicle at the Ataria de Tolosaldea "the Tolosa market has already been celebrated", and it is true that this was the main news: That Tolosa can celebrate his famous fair. But the conditions imposed on purchasers who wanted to get closer and the farmers and producers who were coming to sell their profits were very remarkable yesterday, both in the Zerkausis, the main common market centre, and in the Beotibar fronton enabled to do so. As a citizen who meets this journalist on many Saturdays in Zerkausian told us: "The contrast between the supermarkets and the food stores in Tolosa was very large: while the supermarkets and the food stores looked as normal these weeks, those we wanted to enter the market seemed to go to some area of special risk."

If you approach the Tinglado or Beotibar, you wait in the entrance row, as in the rest of the supermarkets... in the custody of a municipal police officer. Before entering, a Civil Protection member gives you a face mask, plastic gloves and... makes you wash your hands. Walk in one door and go out on the other. This is difficult to see on the portal of the Super-BM, Eroski or Carrefour, where the use of masks is not mandatory, nor the civil protection uniforms that wash your hands at the entrance, nor, on many occasions, any mutual respect between their shelves.

And then it hid inside the market, as if the peasants, separated from each other, had been punished by some bad teacher. This, in fact, we have seen it in many photos of other fairs and we have become accustomed to it; however, we have got used to it badly, because the same does not happen in most of the shops in Tolosa and Euskal Herria. What do the two farmers have to get away from evil, like not two grocery stores?

On the other hand, as far as customers are concerned, the risk of getting close to these suspicious baserritars is so high that the Town Hall of Tolosa wants to protect with special force the citizens who strive to go to the fair without being content with modern supermarkets.

Read the conditions in the municipal document: "When the decree reducing mobility is in force, you will have to go shopping to the area closest to your home, that is, you will not be able to go to both areas. (...) People over 70 years of age will not be able to approach points of sale, as being the main risk group, they have to stay at home." Here's how the mayor of Tolosa has decided the age brackets of the decontainment phases without waiting for Pedro Sánchez.

In short, if it was previously evident that the transformation of the forms of consumption of young people made it difficult for them to move to the markets, now Tolosa has banned them from approaching those over the age of 70.

This scourge is also calm and in less than a month we will again enjoy and feel the wonderful opportunity offered by Zerkausia and Berdura plaza in Tolosa. And we will be happy to visit and buy the new and new baserritars that have appeared these years as the old baserritars. For us producers are more than folkloric figuratives to attract tourists.
