7 September celebrates Trekutz Day in Antzuola
- The citizen platform Meaka-Irimo has organized this day to mobilize against the Trekutz project of the Spanish multinational Capital Energy. After the event, the participants will enjoy the championship, the popular food, the acting of bertsos and the pilgrimage.
The Trekutz project of Capital Energia aims to install two windmills of 200 meters high, one on Mt. Irimo and one on Meaka. To ensure that this does not materialise, work is being done one more year on the Meaka-Irimo popular platform and an all-day programme has been organised for Saturday.
At 9:00 hours they will meet in Antzuola Square and start the road to the Irimo peak. At 11:30 hours an act will be carried out at the top of the mountain. Then (12:30 hours) the Toka Championship will be held in the Gaztelugain society (in Trecuk). Popular food will start at 14:30 hours, after collection of tickets by whoever wants and with his own. On the table there will be bertsos and pilgrimage, the latter by the hand of Astiazaran and Narbaiza. And at dusk, the day of the trekutz will have its punchline in the gaztetxe of Antzuola, with the concert of the Harrikadak group.
In addition to the Trekutz Day, the popular platform Meaka-Irimo has organised two other activities for September:
