Friday was a difficult day for the EHZ. Due to bad weather, they had already planned the festival for three days, just a few hours before the start of the program. This year it was the 22nd edition, in which the debt accumulated from previous editions was the protagonist. Although the insurance of the festival will assume a large part, they are in a particularly difficult situation.

However, spokesmen Pauline Guelle and Jon Irazabal said in New that they have “come out with renewed strength.” Now the model itself is under discussion – including its duration – but there is no doubt that the association and its spirit will continue.

Several gestures of solidarity have been made, including the festival organized last Sunday by several musicians in LeBukowskin. As in the micro-story that Morau narrated there: “Once upon a time there was a big festival that could not be held, and in its place hundreds of small festivals were created.”
