INPRIMATU
The misery of the Navarre language
Germán Gorraiz López 2021eko ekainaren 11

In the cradle of the Lingua Vasconum Primittiae, in the Old Kingdom of Navarre, the future of the Basque Country is shaken, as in addition to the media resonance of Nafarroa Oinez, the harsh reality shows that in Navarre the expansion of the Basque Country is going to stagnation, although there has been an increase in the last 15 years. In view of the questionable situation of the Basque Country in Navarre, it is concluded that we need a deep reflection and constructive criticism. The weakness of the Basque country requires a commitment to live in Basque: Euskaldunes update, improve and increase their use; and Castellanoparlantes, striving to learn Basque. Because the key to the future lies in the use of Euskera.

"Unfortunately, the new Foral Decree of the Government of Navarre that will regulate the use of Euskera in public administrations will put an end to the valuation of Euskera for non-Basque areas"

Therefore, avoiding the Basque Country in Navarre will require a huge effort for the Euskaldunes and to avoid this “fossilization” it is necessary to increase the budgets for the Basque Country, as well as to make the Basque Country visible in all areas of everyday life, so that the Basque Country becomes a cultural good and an instrument of union for those of us who live in Navarre. Unfortunately, the new Foral Decree of the Government of Navarre that will regulate the use of Euskera in public administrations will put an end to the valuation of Euskera in non-Basque areas. If we add to this the reduction of the license plates in model D and the attitude of the PSN and the English language of Navarra Suma, it gives an uncertain horizon for the Basque Country, so there is an urgent need for a general mobilization in favor of the Basque country.
