Taking advantage of new technologies, a descendant of Navarre, known as a jeltzale and member of the Zazpirak Bat Basque club in Rosario, Fernando Lizarbe, manages two blogs on specific themes: on the one called Eurosare, he gathers information "on Catalonia, Scotland and Euskadi, nations without a state"; in Geroa Bai Argentina, provides information "on the Geroa Bai coalition in hopes of reaching the Navarran Diaspora". 

Rosario, Argentina.   Fernando Lizarbe created two blogs looking at Basque Diasporas and Navarre with specific information and updates on sovereigntists processes in Catalonia, Scotland and Euskadi and the day to day of the Geroa Bai coalition.

Eurosare

Under the name of Eurosare, the website gathers information in various formats and resources on the current political situations of Catalonia, Scotland and Euskadi.  “The resources that we use are local media in each nation that relate to our interests for the blog.  In addition, I count on the collaboration of Ander Esnal, in a joint manner we update the blog as we communicate daily with our followers via Twitter and Facebook.  Ander Esnal is from Mutriku, and has a degree in Humanities and Communication and is an expert in the subject,” Lizarbe explained to EuskalKultura.com.

Besides texts, Eurosare provides its readers maps of the nations without a state in the west of Europe as well as material to print.  In regards to the updating of the blog, those in charge said that they upload new information twice a month, with daily news beting shared on Facebook and Twitter.

Geroa Bai Argentina

Geroa Bai Argentina provides thematic information on the Geroa Bai coalition, fruit of the union of PNV, Zabaltzen, Atarrabia taldea and Independents.  “The goal is to let the Argentine Diaspora know about the various aspects of the coalition, and the historic changes that have taken place in Navarre with Uxue Barkos as the new and first Euskaldun President of Navarre and abertzale,” Lizarbe specifies as the one in charge of diffusion and communication for Geroa Bat in Argentina.

Geroa Bai Argentina updates at least two times a month, “even though the goal is to update twice a week,” Lizarbe says.  Its main resource is the Geroa Bat website but information is also available via Twitter.

Blog Manager

Fernando Lizarbe is a member of the Zazpirak Bat Basque club in Rosario and the Euskel Biotza in Roldan.  His role in the community is especially active: he is member of the PNV and the Sabino Arana Foundation as well as teaches first-year Basque at the Zazpi in Rosario.  “When I introduce myself, there are two words I like, “Geroabaikide” (member of Geroa Bai) and “Jelkide” (member of the PNV).  "I danced as a child as part of the Navarran Club and I have very fond memories of.  In my case, I became a member of Zazpirak Bat fifteen years ago when I began feeling more like an abertzale from Navarre. It is important for me to have this new space to communicate with the Basque Diaspora and above all with the Navarran Diaspora,” Lizarbe concluded.
