NOTE Paragraph

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:30.000
I am very proud to see so many people looking so happy

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Happy birthday Pirates!

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:46.000
If you don't really don't know, this is Ska.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
If they would have asked us in August 2003

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
What we started what would become ten years later

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.000
we wouldn't know answering that question

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
But nowadays the answer is clear

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
I have no doubt about the answer

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.000
shoveling once and again, we have boarded Donostia

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
congratulations to everybody!

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Be pirate!

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.000
We're pirates because they have left us out of the proclamations

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.000
they have condemn us to obtain the treasure by ourselves

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.000
They left us out of the Aste Nagusia

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.000
but we have returned and we're prepared to remain

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Be Pirate, board San Sebastian!

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Why pirates?

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.000
Because we needed a person who was rebel

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.000
we needed a person related to the sea

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.000
related to Donostia

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000
the bay would be its square

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.000
and he/she would express in there

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.000
these characteristics were perfectly defined by the pirates

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000
The image of pirates is seen as something negative

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.000
but it has a very big symbolic meaning for me

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:36.000
it goes against those roles that are established, against the stereotypes and duties

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.000
something to change a bit.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.000
I think it is a reasonable fight

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.000
to the organizer of the Aste Nagusia in 2003

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.000
a big event started to break in front of their faces

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.000
it starts from a very simple question

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
What happens in this city

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.000
the festivals in august to be in this way

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.000
The Aste Nagusia we know today

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000
it wasn't called 'Aste Nagusia' in basque, it was only named 'Semana Grande' in spanish

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.000
and few events were carried out throughout it

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.000
the most important ones, as always, the fireworks at night

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.000
The Aste Nagusia was something just to see for us

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.000
we had a sandwich, went for a walk... there were some parades and concerts and that was all.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.000
that was our party.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.000
it was a totally mercantilist model

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:57.000
really, that was the way the Aste Nagusia was created in the XIX century, in the 1880th

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Jose Arana, from Eskoriatza, did this event to become real

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.000
he come to live to Donosti when he was very young

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
from Donostia he went on a trip to Madrid

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.000
there he won the lottery and he returned to Donosti being rich

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
that's why he started to organize the bullfighters festivals and the concerts

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.000
continuing with his business logic

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.000
On that years, Donostia was becoming quite famous

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.000
In a great part, because Maria Cristina ,the Queen of spain, selected the beach of La Concha as her place for holiday

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.000
After Maria Cristina, many aristrocrats from Madrid also came to this surroundings

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.000
in that way, the Semana Grande was created in august

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.000
before in august i think that at first it was organized in july

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.000
but, the businessman and Josu Arana realized that

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.000
the business would be much bigger if the festival was organized in august

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.000
And well, we have to say it clear, to do that

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.000
they sent to the periphery all the other festivities that were cellebrated in the center and the Old Town of Donostia.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:14.000
so that the comercial model and that kind of mercantilist festival would have free space.

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:20.000
They have reproduced that model year-by-year, decade-by-decade

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.000
during Franco times that logic of cellebrating increased completely,

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.000
Franco died, and all the next municipal governments

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.000
have kept the model completely.

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.000
That model has been what specific powers have used

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:50.000
to sustein a concrete image they wanted to relate with the city

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.000
and in the last years it was very clear when more and more private businesses

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:03.000
were taking part in the organization of the Big Week.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.000
And that way we began conversations with the CAT (municipal organ, Centro Atracción y Turismo)

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.000
and the city hall

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.000
And we created what is called the Popular Comision of the Festivities.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
'Jai Herrikoi Batzordea', in Basque.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.000
That way, with these conversations we wanted to work on our intentions.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.000
In Donoststia iw was not assumed that people could enjoy autonomously in the festival

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.000
everything was very measured and thought from the municipal entity

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.000
and they would decide what kind of Festival it would be done.

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.000
The people were mere spectator of the party.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:48.000
In Donostia there have been several tries to change that feeling of just beeing spectator

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.000
people have tried to open new paths to that popular participation in the party.

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.000
They have tried to make txoznas (Basque popular bars, related to social movements)

00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:04.000
they have organized alternative programs to face the oficial program imposed from the City Hall

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:11.000
all that from the 'Transition' to now has been.. and what to say during Franco's times

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:17.000
all these tries were sistematicaly attacked from the municipal government

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:22.000
and of course, it is controlled by the right of the city.

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.000
Since then, they have tried to eliminate any trace of popular party

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.000
We had a bad beginning in 1983, when Alkain was the mayor;

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.000
we put a temporary bar, a "txozna" in the Boulevard, and he sent some local policemen to take it away

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.000
In the following years, 1984, 1885 and 1986, we continued talking to the city council

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.000
and we kept moving forward

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:50.000
I have good memories from the 1986,when we came to an agreement with Labaien

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:58.000
he gave us all the permits for the concertsthat we used to organise in the port;

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.000
we got 4,000-5,000 people to be at the concerts,

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.000
something inconceivable at that time, a great number

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.000
And that is when our decline began,

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:17.000
when the city council saw that we were taking shape

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:21.000
and that we were, in some way, overshadowing the official programme,

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.000
they saw the risk

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.000
they said that our alternative proposal covered the official programme.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.000
And then, they started to ban it again

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.000
But the worst moment and the hardest was the year 1988,

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:48.000
when Albistur was the mayor; they set the objective not to let us the port

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.000
they didn't let us be there; they told us that we couldn't set up anything there

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:59.000
we thought that they would change their mind at the last moment, as they did other times,

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.000
and when we came to set up our "txozna" and our place,

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000
just there, under that building,

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.000
it was where we found the tremendous surprise

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:22.000
about 40 local policemen showed up there, with their dogs, ball guns, helmets and shields,

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.000
something we had never seen

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.000
the local police equipped as riot police

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:35.000
and when we started to set up everything

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:42.000
they charged against us and a great fight began here, in Portaletas

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:49.000
many people were injured, some women were hit by the balls

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:55.000
other young people had their forehead and nose broken by the truncheon blows

00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:01.000
and it is said that some local policemen were also injured;

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.000
it was a tremendous fight, after all;

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:11.000
in fact, Donostia had never seen such a confrontation between the citizens and the police

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:17.000
That led, of course, to the following repression,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:23.000
where 12 members of the commission were threatened

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.000
to go to jail for 16 months, but, finally, the judge rejected it

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:34.000
at least we resisted there that day; we managed to set up the "txozna"

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.000
we managed to carry out our programme

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.000
but, in the end, it happened what we thought

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:50.000
At dawn, the 'Beltzak' came (the riot squad of the Ertzaina),I think it was their first intervention in Donostia

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:55.000
they came in many vans, dressed totally as riot police,

00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:02.000
and we were not in a position to face them;it was neither our objective.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:10.000
they took away all the material we had, and they confiscated it

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.000
The following days, we made some kinds of leaps,

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.000
we used to set up the "txozna" at the Boulevard at six o'clock in the evening,

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000
and we used to last ther until 2-3 o'clock in the morning.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:25.000
when we dismantle the everithing, to avoid losing it

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.000
and, in this way, we used to assemble and dismantle everything everyday.

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000
It was an exhaustion for us,

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.000
but we managed to keep firm our flag.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.000
Besides, we saw that the city council not only was willing to ban it,

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.000
but also to attack the citizens,

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:51.000
and that it would be difficult to overcome that situation.

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.000
That situation led us almost to the nothingness

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.000
to those few things that the city council used to organise

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:06.000
and although the citizens used to organise themselves for other fields, they gave in as far as the Aste Nagusia was concerned

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.000
due to all those happenings.

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.000
Some years passed, and I don't remember exactly when,

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.000
but I think it was in 1990 or 1992, there was a sort of resurrection.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.000
New people came to join us, with new purposes.

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.000
These people tried to keep and revive

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:35.000
the spirit of the Aste Nagusia and Herriko Jai Batzordea,by means of the "koadrilak" (groups of friends).

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.000
They got some results, and they were there for some years,

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:45.000
until we got in some way to this moment.

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.000
The party is important, so that the people can break the routine,

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:56.000
the dayly routine, the work, everything that anyone does in an ordinary day.

00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:05.000
During the week , we have only some standard relationships, normalized relationships

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.000
The party breaks the monotony

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:19.000
the party breaks the way to understand life in a ritual way

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:27.000
the party is important, specially, as a counterweight to that standardisation

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:33.000
the political and economic power have standardized our lifestyle

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.000
the party is that necessary counterweight and that mental hygiene of the people,

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:48.000
so that the people can scape from the everyday life and understand that life has something more

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:55.000
That we can meet each other and talk calmly, without so many regulations.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.000
What we are watching now is as important as "basque pelota" for the basque people

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.000
this is the Fandango, the famous Fandango

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.000
in the 90s there were some other attempts

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:21.000
It is truth that, by then, the relationship between the city council and the party comission was not really good

00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:13.000
I was at work, in a bar and Barela called me.

00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.000
For me Pirates are many things

00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.000
I don´t know how to explain it.

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:28.000
I was 15-16 and I had taken part in some games before...

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:33.000
with my neighbours, they called me and said "come to the games" and I went and play in those games and took part in the Aste Nagusia

00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:35.000
I took part in some activities organized by Pirates, but that was all

00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:39.000
I was 15-16 and one day I was in the Old Part and a friend told me:

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:59.000
and there are two elements; I will talk specially about two of them

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:04.000
on the one hand the bar tenders, which is a sector of the Old Part who felt that dissatisfaction

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.000
I guess it is because as bartenders it has an influence on them

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.000
but also because they were part of the popular movements

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.000
and they wanted the party in Donosti to be popular and with its own identity.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:21.000
That is why they started to do little things like preparing lunches, games between groups of friends...

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:25.000
When the bartenders started organising activities, the young people were not at the organisation yet.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.000
We started to organise activities on the street Ikatz.

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.000
We were told that each bar had to organise a game:

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.000
the game of four people walking on two skis, to take an egg in the air and games like that...

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:56.000
We organised the "Euskal Bizikleta" (Basque Bicycle) with children's bikes.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:08.000
I remember it was something that we created the bartenders in the bars,

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:17.000
and then, little by little the teamwork of some gaztetxes (occupied social centers) and the Gazte Asanblada (the youth assembly) resulted in the creation of the Pirates.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:38.000
It was a group of young people, really imaginative, and with new ideas,

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:44.000
who had this feeling of mediocrity of the Aste Nagusia and this impossibility of orgainising a real party

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.000
and who wanted to change all that.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:52.000
That is when, these two elements united and this is the result: Piratak.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.000
There is not Aste Nagusia without the donostiarrak (the inhabitants of Donostia).

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.000
It is impossible to hide the memory of a city and it's desire to party.

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:10.000
The treasure of this party is obvious and the desire to recover that treasure has gained strenth again.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.000
Let's do the boarding all together!

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:19.000
Let's do the Aste Nagusia together! Long live the Pirates!

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.000
Therefore, we needed a main activity, and that was 'The Boarding', without any doubt.

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.000
And we went out to sea.

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:42.000
We took the sea as the field of work and battle, for two main reasons:

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.000
On the one hand, because we saw that if we wanted to change the party in Donosti

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.000
we would need an element which we, the Donostiarrak, had relationship with,

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:58.000
and we saw, clearly, that if something makes Donostia different, that is the sea.

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:04.000
So, it was clear for us that everything that we organised, would be completely related to the sea.

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:12.000
And, on the other hand, we realised that there was a bureaucratic vacuum in the administration with regard to the sea.

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:17.000
specially, between the competences of the city council, the basque government and other public administrations

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:22.000
and yes, we used that vacuum to develop our project

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.000
That is why we suggested the boarding

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.000
The boarding had a clear logic:

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.000
we needed an activity that would join the party and the demands,

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.000
that would be built over three main bases:

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:44.000
The first one was the disobedience; we, as citizens, shouldn't ask permission to take part in out party.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:51.000
Therefore, it was a strong decisicion to celebrate that activity without asking for permission.

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.000
The second one was the humour.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:00.000
We saw that the imagination had to be linked to the humour, in order to spread our message

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:05.000
and in order to break that severity that transmitted the Aste Nagusia at that moment

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.000
And the third one, of course, the participation.

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:13.000
It had to be an event where as many people as possible could participate

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.000
It started with that humbleness.

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:26.000
That first year, only around 10, 15 or 20 rafts gathered, I don't remember exactly how many

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.000
I remember that I was there

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.000
It had an attraction, it was a success.

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.000
We got it right, we had guessed right what the people really wanted

00:19:44.000 --> 00:20:01.000
"Drop anchor, down the bow..."

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000
Pirates are nice people.

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:15.000
At the beginning, I remember that the first year the local police was waiting for them to arrest them

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.000
I remember that when we finished the first boarding at the beach of La Concha

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.000
the local police came to us, asking for documentation.

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.000
We told them that we didn't have any documentation,

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.000
and, next, they told us that we couldn't leave the remains of the rafts there.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:41.000
And, in the end, we held a meeting just there, and we decided to leave the rafts, in front of the city hall as a protest.

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.000
We had many problems to carry that out,

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:51.000
because from the city council and from the CAT they raised a huge number of obstacles and problems.

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:56.000
But, little by little, when the Gazte Asanblada (Youth assembly) took charge of that work,

00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.000
that is when, with a good organisation, we succeeded in bringing forward this activity,

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:06.000
"Local bosses and tyrants rowing in the galleys"

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:13.000
"The Pirates' flag on the mast of the city hall..."

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:22.000
At first, this movement started as something very informal; we were a group of friends.

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:28.000
The second year, there was an ebolution, the third year a growth.

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.000
We can say that when the fifth year came we gained recognition.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.000
The party was established completely.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:01.000
The party carried on, year after year, and what we organised had more and more success.

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:06.000
And we realised that the donostiarras,

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.000
and the citizens that take part in the program Pirates,

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:16.000
need an image, an image to identify with.

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:22.000
In 2007, we presented for the first time the character "Ezkila Kapitaina" (the captain Ezkila)

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.000
In order to creat Ezkila Kapitaina, first of all, we looked back in history,

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.000
we analised and read the history of Donostia,

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.000
and we realised that some centuries ago

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:40.000
Donostia was an important pirate port or, at least, an important corsair port.

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:47.000
We started to become interested in characters, and we discovered among the characters, a pirate known as "Campanario"

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:53.000
With a clumsy playword, we turned the spanish word "Campanario" into the basque word "Ezkila"

00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:00.000
and that is how "Ezkila Kapitaina" became the main image and icon of the Pirates of Donostia

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.000
And an image that year after year gets more famous.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.000
Congratulations!

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.000
Congratulations one more time, as we said on saturday, for having boarded Donostia.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.000
Congratulations for all the work.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:25.000
This kind of iniciative requires an almost professional organisation.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:38.000
It starts on January; we make an evaluation of last year and we propose new ideas for the next year.

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.000
We talk, we reach some agreements and we consider them.

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.000
Because all the material, all the waste that heap up there

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.000
It is necessary the work of about 200 people.

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.000
To tell the truth, people work almost 24 hours.

00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:03.000
Maybe the most visible work during the party is the one of being serving at the bar.

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:09.000
or the security at the concerts, but, actually, both before the Aste Nagusia,

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.000
during the Aste Nagusia, or after, there is a lot of work to do.

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:20.000
For example, we start setting up the tent two days before;

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:27.000
one week before, we hold a meeting among all the groups of friends to organise all the duties and responsibilities

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.000
They might seem superficial, but apart from that work there are a lot of things to do while the people are partying

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.000
there is a lot of cleaning to do, in order to leave everything ready for the next day.

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:43.000
Some hours before the concerts, they must do the sound check, give the dinner to the groups,

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:50.000
and after the Aste Nagusia, it comes the dismantling.

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:56.000
Everything must be dismantled, to leave all the areas as they were before or better.

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:03.000
Then, there are meetings to see where we have failed, what can be improved,

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:09.000
in order to make improvements facing the coming years.

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:14.000
By the time we realised, we had a programme for the whole week,

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:20.000
and, at that time, a debate was created inside the Pirates about the new model of organisation.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:27.000
In this new model, anyone or any group can organise anything.

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:35.000
As more and more groups of friends were taking part, it was the moment to create a "Kofradia".

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:40.000
To gather all the groups and to organise games and activities for young people.

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:49.000
And to organise a programme specially for ourselves, inside this new organisation.

00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:55.000
It is amazing to see that what it was created in a bar

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.000
has now reached this point..

00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.000
The boarding starts at 5 o'clock in the morning,

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.000
and it lasts the whole day, until the night.

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:24.000
It starts at the port, and, to follow an order from the beginning,

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:30.000
there are some volunteers with orange vests, as filters.

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:59.000
Once having passed them, there is the place to assemble the raft.

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:07.000
After having assembled the raft there are other volunteers to help to carry the raft to the sea.

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.000
The best moment is when all the rafts leave the port to go to La Concha,

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.000
but behind all that, there is a lot of voluntary and communitary work.

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:08.000
And, that is why, an organisation was started to mantain order; each group has an hour to assemble their raft,

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:15.000
and there are some volunteers to make the participants respect the schedule.

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:24.000
Afterwards, there are other volunteers in the water gathering and ordering all the rafts.

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:29.000
"In a half an hour, Donostia will be ours..."

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:38.000
And in the morning, when people are preparing the rafts, there are other volunteers preparing the lunch,

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:46.000
and when the boarding starts, at the same time, the organisers start cleaning up everything.

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:52.000
and they keep on cleaning, until everyone gets to La Concha and everyone leaves.

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.000
All aboard!

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.000
"Drop anchor, down the bow..."

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.000
"We've arrived with the strength of 200 cannons"

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.000
"Throughout Donostia the laugh of the skull"

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.000
"We've arrived with the strenght of 200 cannons"

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.000
"Throughout Donostia the laugh of the skull"

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:14.000
Security is also essential, and, that is why we work with the Red Cross and the firefighters.

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:19.000
"The flag of the party waves next to the seaguls"

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.000
"The wooden leg dancing in the streets"

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:30.000
"The flag of the party waves next to the seaguls"

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:35.000
"the wooden leg dancing in the streets"

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:46.000
And then, when we arrive at the beach, there are people cleaning up everything until it gets dark.

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:44.000
There are around 200 people in the organisation, and without this community work, "Abordaia" (the boarding) wouldn't exist.

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.000
We threw the stone

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:52.000
and we saw that from the first time the citizens joined the iniciative that we proposed.

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.000
At that time, we had a question.

00:31:55.000 --> 00:32:07.000
How are we going to get back all the spaces that the city council and other authorities have taken away from us, the citizens?

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:11.000
And some years later, we created "Irrikitaldia"

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:15.000
An event where we parody the attitudes of the city council and the mayor

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:18.000
and the obstacles they put.

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:29.000
What do you think about this year's programme?

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.000
Odon! Odon! (Ex-mayor of Donostia, Odon Elorza)

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:41.000
Authorities try to impose a logic where they are always in first line.

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:50.000
The priest, the soldier, the mayor... they are always in the first line, and the rest are secondary participants.

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.000
That crash is a popular festival

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:58.000
People boost a festival where they are the participants.

00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.000
And a festival that is imposed by a power has created a lot of contradictions.

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:06.000


00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:11.000


00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.000


00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:17.000


00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:24.000


00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:36.000


00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:42.000


00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.000


00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.000


00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:56.000


00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:40.000


00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:46.000


00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:52.000


00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.000


00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:01.000


00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:08.000


00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.000


00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:19.000


00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.000


00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:29.000


00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:34.000


00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:40.000


00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.000


00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.000


00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:58.000


00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.000


00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:11.000


00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:14.000


00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:19.000


00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:24.000


00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.000


00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:36.000


00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.000


00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.000


00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:52.000


00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:06.000


00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:16.000


00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:20.000


00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:30.000


00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.000


00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:43.000


00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:53.000


00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.000


00:37:55.000 --> 00:38:01.000


00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:08.000


00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:38.000


00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.000


00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:51.000


00:38:51.000 --> 00:39:03.000


00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:14.000


00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:35.000


00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.000


00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:43.000


00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:47.000


00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.000


00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.000


00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.000


00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.000


00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.000


00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.000


00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:13.000


00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:22.000


00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:34.000


00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:41.000


00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:53.000


00:41:53.000 --> 00:42:00.000


00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.000
