Four years have passed since the Eitzaga landfill disaster and the Zaldibar Argitu platform has organised an event to remember the disaster. Alberto Sololuze and Joaquín Beltrán died in the waste, whose remains are still buried in ruins. They claim that the damage caused is not yet fully known. The open litigation which examines crimes against the environment will be conducted for four years at the trial stage. “With this almost everything is said,” they said. In November it was declared for the first time by a technician from the Basque Government. They still await the judge's conclusions.

The act began with the txalaparta, the dantzaris dance in front of the sculpture of memory of the disaster, then a floral offering was made and a representative of Zaldibar Argitua read the note of the platform. A neighborhood neighbor also released a few words on behalf of the town. The act closed with some coplas.
