Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Looking towards the Basque Country but without turning their back on the community that welcomed them, Basque clubs in Argentina merge two peoples.  The reflection of the sum is reflected, among other examples, in the presence of the communities at the events and ceremonies that took place on May 25^th to celebrate another anniversary of the Revolución de Mayo.  As a sample, here are pictures from events in Arrecifes, Buenos Aires, Chacabuco, Córdoba, Mar del Plata, Necochea and Saladillo.

[Members of the Euskaldunak Denak Bat in Arrecifes participated as every year in the official commemorative events of the Revolución of 1810, in the morning, along with local officials; and later at the Tedeum at an offering at the Parish of San Jose; and finally in the parade.  They also had a food stand in the Merlo Predio in front of the Mitre Plaza where they provided lentil stew and choripanes (photoEE)]

[At the country's capital, for its part the 3^rd edition of the “Communities Celebrate the Homeland” took place on the Avenida Caseros.  The Laurak Bat Basque club from Buenos Aires was in charge of representing the Basques here and did so with music and food as well as with Buruhandiak and Erraldoiak (photo Colectividades Bs As)]
