Senators Max Brisson and Frederique Espagnac came to Paris to defend the system of immersion in Basque, Deputy Vincent Bru and the mayor of the capital, Alain Iriart, who was also going to go to the president of the Basque Commonwealth, but could not appear due to transport problems. They have also called for the withdrawal of the ban on the proposal for experimentation in Basque only in Baste Quieta, in the Basque capital. The ban has caused great indignation in Basque cultural activity in Iparralde, and the educational agents have called for a protest on Tuesday. Representatives of the Ministry have listened to the requests, but have not given a concrete response, as reported by the news agency kazeta.eus.
Brisson explained that the meeting was extended for an hour and a half, and that it was "cordial and technical". The Ministry has assured them that the system of immersion is not in danger, but the electorate has asked for further clarification and guarantees. “What is the legal framework? We hope that the participation between the Basque Public Entity and the State will continue, but an in-depth debate is needed. The debate is not a debate and it is up to the electorate and parliamentarians to move forward with the work,” said Iriarte.
