We're going to jump up to 1977. After the Franco regime, the creation of Spanish-language periodicals and magazines almost entirely hit Basque journals, among which was also Zeruko Argia, along with Anaitasuna, Herria or Jakin. The struggle at the time was to boost the press in Euskera, and along that path arose in 1980 The press in Euskera! Campaign prepared by the bulletins cited. But in addition to this collective struggle, everyone had a lot to do with it. Fraternity, for example, disappeared in 1983 due to economic difficulties. And the one who at that time remained in the hands of the workers and became LUZ would have to do a great job to get ahead.

1,000 meals

The idea of bringing the ARGIA project closer to citizens is not what was invented yesterday, and the campaigns of the 1980s had the same objective that are now being carried out in Argia Eguna. That's also where 1,000 meals go. The cooks Arzak or Argiñano, immersed in the new Basque cuisine, offered 1,000 meals in the Bald pediment of San Sebastian in 1981, driven by Joxemi Zumalabe, Elixabete Garmendia, Joxe Mari Ostolaza, Josu Landa and the company that had already taken over the magazine.

And although there will surely be different evaluations of that day, the project served to go out into the street; and perhaps for that reason, it was in 1982 that Light Day was celebrated for the first time. It did not focus like today on a town, but tables were installed at different points in the Basque Country to expand ARGIA and get subscriptions. The Argia Eguna was held for ten years and more than 300 tables were installed in 1987.
