- The popular movement Euskal Herrian Euskaraz has carried out an exercise to adapt to the new times and has presented the Ikusmira document, which has updated its founding principles.
The main objective has not changed: May the Basque Country be Euskaldun. In this regard, the popular movement has underlined that the main novelty is the renewal of the founding principles (1979) and the clear demand for the independence of Euskal Herria.
EHE Member Ane Aizpurua presented at a hearing in Usurbil the main points contained in the document “Ikusmira”.
The movement considers it essential for the normalization of Euskera that the use of Euskera be a priority: “Both in oral use and in all functional and geographical areas”.
EHE has shown solidarity with individuals and groups suffering from other forms of repression and has stressed that solidarity and alliances between the oppressed are fundamental to their achievement.
He has claimed the decolonization of the population of Euskal Herria, “to overcome the linguistic practice of the century and choose to live in Euskera”.
They considered it necessary that all Basques and Basques be Vasco-speakers. However, linguistic competence is not enough, they have stressed the attachment to language, “the need to convey a vascophony attitude”.
The movement is committed to respect and care for linguistic diversity in the new model of the relationship between languages.
Disobedience and activism will have a place in the new perspective and have considered empowerment and living in Basque as a more disobedient act.
Institutions will be called upon to pursue effective language policies for re-Euskaldunisation.
