Since June we know that the festival has come to us, we are looking forward to participating in the assembly and in three days. For some, the studies were finished and summer started; for others, leave the job and live the summer. The festival marks the beginning or end of the annual cycle. The result that the group has prepared for ten months, the festival festival, the key meeting place, the place of reflection of youth and the time of audacity; without forgetting the main question: “What have you prepared for us this year?”

There is a great deal of tension behind this issue. In addition to the unease of the dynamics, we are about to discover the society that young people love most. What instruments and what thoughts prevail to deal with capitalism, where they see the alternatives, what their references are, what topics they want to deal with, what music and type of spectacular they offer, what pricing policies they apply, how they organize the collaborators model, how feminism is worked, what relationships have emerged with the people and citizenship, what space they have for cultivation, what reception they make to other agents, etc. That is, the festival is a screening film of a group of young people from Euskal Herria.

On many occasions, it has been seen close to the party model organized by the Pirates of Donostia. Compared to other associations, gaztetxes, collectives or groups that have acted according to the label of the alternative party. As for the reading of the dynamics, the same were done preguntas.Por example, the capacity of youth organization. Many times, the initiatives linked to another holiday model helped and strengthened us to know what the fast points of the youth consisted of, establishing the meter “positive”.

On the other hand, from the moment when Euskal Herria Zuzenean (EHZ) was created, it was evident that the “festival” would serve as a tool both to offer a meeting place for young people and for those from outside to know the people. In Ipar Euskal Herria, the project was created by the Piztu association (1996), driven by the Patxa movement. They created a time that did not exist (north) in the interior of the Basque Country to feed and make clear the struggles. A unique place that was represented with the intention of creating a new culture of struggle, feeding, strengthening, expanding and recreating our culture.
If what is created “artificially” is hungry for energy to survive, it needs life cycles. One more year, a link will be added to the chain of collaborators to follow the long cycle of twenty-three years with enthusiasm. Always new water from the old fountain!
