The Bagera association has denounced the scarce presence of Euskera in the Aste Nagusia de Donostia/San Sebastián. For example, on the nights of Plaza Cataluña (Gros), he said that 80% of the activities are in Spanish. On the Boulevard nights, they reported that only 28.5% of the activities are in Basque, as well as English, while 43% are in Spanish.

The association in favor of the Basque country has also recalled that in the main stage of the Big Week of Donostia, in Sagües, only two out of nine concerts are in Basque. The songs of Esne Beltza and Huntza have been the only ones that have been able to enjoy music in Euskera in this plaza.

During the festivities, the association will continue to investigate the presence of Euskera, and has also claimed the right of the Basques to live and enjoy in Euskera in the festivities of San Sebastián. The association needed observers to analyze the presence of the Basque Country before the festivities, and in the remaining days, they have expressed their gratitude for the collaboration.
