This community includes all kinds of opinions and values, even opposing visions. And it is surprising to see how the Korrika manages to unite all the people, leaving aside the rest and betting on the Basque. It is awkward to pass the witness to politicians and unions fighting against the Basque Country on a daily basis; it is painful that the Ertzaintza, in an offensive, should look at the witness who has received the 16-year-old Billabonés, then take it by the Ertzaines. But we are all part of the people of the Basque Country, and we will have to build a stimulating, Basque community, yes, but that respects values.
For eleven days we have known a Basque country without borders, and AEK has opened these doors and bridges. The Basque people have joined us all. The way of understanding Euskera and Euskera in Euskal Herria changes considerably, but all of them have seen gratitude for the work of AEK. In short, because that is the popular initiative: the great impulse to euskaldunify and alphabetize the Basque Country. But we cannot forget that Korrika would not be essential if Euskera’s learning were free for all, in all territories and without conditions.
At AEK’s request: “We need more commitments and more resources.” Garazi Arrula confirmed the message: “Let us not forget that the linguistic issue is political. And urgent.” AEK has celebrated the most multitudinous Korrika of all time and it has been noted that a favourable attitude towards the Basque country has been opened. But the attitude is not enough and there is an urgent need for the institutions to be involved, the proud people are not naive and the laundering of the institutions is not worth it. We're going to be shining on the body, but institutions must keep the foundation. The people who say “Proud yes, but not conformable” have in front, and want the Basque to turn.
He wants tests to be popular in Basque, both in Iparralde and in Hego Euskal Herria. Although there are also people who dream of an untested people, the people want that in this system of oppositions Euskera is prime. Because Euskera is not an imposition, but a right. That the Korrika serve to encourage people who have a favorable attitude to learn Basque and those who know how to use it.
The Basque is not alive because the previous generations have defended it, but because they have used it because they have lived in Basque. And 23. In the Korrika we have also seen clear the pride of those who have given us the Basque, the satisfaction that they have conveyed it well. We've also seen new moist parents watching young children running for the first time. The Euskera from generation to generation flies the lookouts that have escaped the ticks of the rapacious birds.
For eleven days we have lived in a bubble in the fantasy Basque Country, in this series of honey that ends in the Plaza de la Libertad de Baiona. And that's because the village has been organized and because AEK has had a tremendous boost of volunteers. Korrika is a healthy ecosystem that deteriorates little by little more than eleven days. Respond to the call of Garazi Arrula and burn weeds and invasive species, and plant a collective forest that is habitable and that we can conserve.
