The Commonwealth of Basque Municipalities (UEMA) held this Saturday in Azpeitia a general assembly and an act to "highlight the importance of the Basque municipalities and recognize the path taken by this people to maintain the Basque". In the morning representatives of the Basque municipalities met and approved four new municipalities in the community: Arrankudiaga-Zollo, Arruazu, Etxebarria and Doneztebe. Added to these, it's now 101.

After the meeting an event was held at the Soreasu Theatre with the motto UEMA 100 and eleven other municipalities, opening the way. In it, in addition to representatives of the municipalities, several representatives of political parties, institutions and associations in the Basque cultural field have met. The event, presented by journalists Ilaski Serrano and Antton Telleria, was attended by Estitxu Pinatxo, Ines Osinaga, Jon Maia and Imanol Epelde.

Iraitz Lazkano, President of UEMA, stressed the importance of the Basque peoples and stressed that, in addition to strengthening the Basque country, they "have a responsibility to open the way". Basque knowledge has increased in recent years, but its use has not increased in the same proportion. Thus, Lehendakari has pointed out the need to "revolutionize" the difference through knowledge and use.

Without losing sight of the importance of municipalities, he stresses that "priorities and emergencies are elsewhere". "We have to move: inertia is in favour of Castilian, and the situation requires us to move before it is late, and before the Basque Country becomes something absolutely secondary."
