- The trade union has filed an appeal for unconstitutionality because it has asked municipal officials for level B2. The union considers that it "excludes" those who "do not know Euskera", those who "cannot certify it" and those who have "belarriprest knowledge". He has accused the Basque Government of "giving in" to the "exclusionary pressure" of the ELA and LAB trade unions in collective bargaining. The Basque Council of Culture has considered that the administration must guarantee the rights of all citizens.
CCOO denounces that the linguistic profiles of the last Intern Police Labor Exchange “go against the philosophy” of Decree 86/1997, arguing that the Decree requires a “local adequacy” of the linguistic profiles and has filed a contentious and administrative appeal in the courts. In the opinion of the union, the linguistic demands of the labour market “exclude” those who “do not know Euskera” and those who “know that they cannot certify it (Euskaldun agrafoak)” and, finally, those who “have belarriprest knowledge”.
The union has charged the Basque Government with “failing to comply with its language regulations”. In his opinion, the Basque Government "surrendered" to "the repeated exclusionary pressures of ELA and LAB".
Rights and judicialisation
The Basque Council of Euskalgintza has linked the linguistic profiles denounced by CCOO to the enforcement of rights: “There is a need for staff in the administration to guarantee the linguistic rights of all citizens. Even more so when other fundamental rights can also be violated.” On the other hand, he has expressed concern about the tendency to judicialize issues related to the Basque country “taking into account the regressive path being taken by the courts”.
