Argia has seen many in her century, of all colors. These are some evocators, subjective and heterogeneous, a salad without illustrations.

Since its inception, Argía’s goal has been to make the Basque “omnipresent”, a carrier of domestic and world news. On the occasion of the centenary, at the meeting on the situation of the language held in Baiona, a politician sincerely explained what he meant by speaking in French. It is not the first time we have heard such a thing and I am nervous if that is the case.

It's not just the Basque country of Argia. When it was celestial, women were doing important work there and, after making the land, they have been gaining ground. He has seriously sought the balance between men and women in all categories and, today, nobody could therefore be cheery, he is champion of feminism in the different tendencies of the movement.

In politics, it was difficult times. All of them did not respect the independent position they adopted in the last years of ETA and had to endure severe price depression. Now, who can deny that he was right then? At that time, and also later, when the arms of the Abertzales have been silent, it has always shown its solidarity with those in prison, it asserts its rights and proclaims aloud that it is a radical injustice to keep the sovereigns that do not like the State under repressive legislation of exception.

In the meantime, there has been a change of a key word in political terminology. The “Basque Country” (cultural term) has moved to the political-administrative level and replaced the “Basque Country”, that is, the name of the homeland of the Basques that make up the seven provinces – some supernationalists reduced it to six provinces, but the idea did not last long. However, once autonomy was achieved and the administrative division accepted, since the Jeltzales began to call the three provinces of their feud “Euskadi”, the “sick Basque mother” of Etxahun Iruri has been relegated. Is it normal that you change the meaning of names that way? Should it be submitted to him?

Well, we have time to congratulate and, therefore, I will use the old form (always…): “Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year!”, despite the fact that in recent years it has progressed prefers “Congratulations and Prosperous New Year”, with the aim of secularism. They are all to be welcomed, but if it comes to solstice, it is better than December Christmas than January New Year. The second is the violin of the first and both remember the passing from one year to the next.

In addition, to move away from religion, some Olentzero do not want to hear that Jesus was born. Ask with someone who enters through the fireplace as if it were not religion (pagan). For its part, the Church, in its desire for monotheism, does not violate this type of idolatry. Bad times for syncretism. And because every culture has its favorite parties and dates, if we don't understand each other, neither Olentzero, nor New Year, nor anything.

We have food left. In the last fourteen years, Lurrama is in November the farm of the Basque Country. In the first afixes were sheepcow chickens, served on a plate; this year, tomato peppers salad zucchini… What a minestrone! It looks like it goes beyond Bizi Baratze of Argia. Except it doesn't have any. According to good languages, next year will be the turn of pulses, and our excellent cooks will offer us a protein menu so that we all do it healthy and good.
