A Good Day! With this motto, the Society of Creation showed today its willingness to continue taking "new steps" to ensure that language rights are respected, "both by proclaiming an official status that includes the entire territory of the Basque language, and by spreading the D model over all discrimination". And they have also put a new challenge on the mahi: to overcome the "soup of letters" of the current Educational Models by establishing "a language model that guarantees the right of all citizens to know the Basque language that belongs to everyone".

"Euskara, the language, for us is the wind, it cannot be cut off, it cannot be walled. But the reality is much harsher. Officiality does not satisfy us; and in these 30 years of the Vascuencea Law, it has only reached a social fissure. This is where we place the red line of the New Basque Public School, above the borders, above the zoning, in favor of coexistence. Official Basque as a base throughout Navarre, this is a change that can no longer wait. Now the ball is on the roof of Parliament," said the leaders of the Founding Association.

Catalonia has been mentioned in the opening ceremony. "Speaking of the limits of language, we have often looked in the mirror of Catalonia's immersion model. A clear reference to the model of coexistence. And of course, they’ve felt more obvious when the chain begins to make its way. And the chain has tried to strangle one of the foundations of a sovereign society: One of the treasures of the Catalan Education System, which is its immersion model. That’s why, from Creando Asociación, we want to shout out loud: Don't call me mais d'enseyar la llengua!"

There have been activities of all ages in the Fiesta de la Creación, but above all, the protagonists have been the little ones. For them, games, workshops and inflatables. For adults, concerts in the afternoon. Everyone has had the opportunity to fill their bellies: cakes, sandwiches, drinks, ice creams... all of them, local products, giving a new impulse to food sovereignty.
