"The Basque phone is the phone of hope"

  • The director of the Observatory on Linguistic Rights needs a jet of vision.
(Josu Santesteban)

If you have chosen an observatory that has little expectation...

However, it is an observatory of visual acuity. Based on the experiences of citizenship. This reality that it analyzes is insufficient and full of shortcomings.

Tell me what you see from the Observatory.

In Spanish, please or vous êtes obligé d’utiliser le français en Basque. A language is lost because those who know it cannot use it, because monolinguals impose language.

If I asked you if the Observatory is just the phone of the Basque...

It couldn't be affirmed. What are linguistic rights? What is the situation in other minority languages? What can we do together? It also works in these areas.

But the phone of the Basque Country is not, precisely, the phone of Hope.

The Basque phone is the phone of hope. The citizen knows that he will do his best to overcome the situation. With complaints, results are obtained and incited.

It is said that they have not been served in Spanish by a Castilian speaking monolingual friend. Where will the poor girl call?

That's science fiction.

How? The monolingual Castilian speakers pay taxes equally!

Language policy is what is done and what is not done. Today, with the taxes of all citizens, more money is spent on strengthening Castilian than on the normalization of Euskera.

But languages don't, speakers have rights.

People have rights. Language rights are human rights. Basic human rights are being violated to the Basques and the Basques. They do not attack the language, but the person and community who have the right to live in it.

And what's more important: to cure doctors or to do it in Basque?

I want the doctor to be cured in Basque. Everything is over! The Medical College of Córdoba says: “In the relationship between patient and physician, communication is an essential component.” You can't perfectly cure a person who doesn't understand you.

What a theme for Euskera!

It is not a matter of subject, it is a right. The Erdaldunes are obsessed with the Basque. It's better to know than not to know. In the Basque Country, because of language, there is no equal opportunity for all citizens.
