Working and living in Euskal Herria

It is logical that everyone wants to work and live in their country. It is millions of people and families in the world who, unfortunately, have to migrate to live and work. In the Basque Country, thousands of immigrants live among us. But here too there are people and families forced to emigrate, because they cannot find work in their villages and counties. With the crisis, for example, more than 500 barakaldeses have left the village. This situation is general and has been occurring for a long time, especially in the east of Euskal Herria, in the Pyrenees. In the Pyrenees there are 103 municipalities, Alta Navarra, Baja Navarra and Zuberoa, within the administrative limits of the Spanish and French states. There are fewer and fewer people in these villages, more and more adults, and the exodus of young people seeking work is permanent. Services (schools, hospitals…) are far from these villages.

In view of this very serious situation, Udalbiltza's decision is to be applauded, since it has launched a project to promote the economic and social development of these Pyrenean peoples with the participation of their people. Through the Eragin, Elgarrekin and Garapen Soziala programmes, the aim is to reduce the high rate of youth emigration and to seek cooperation on the limits imposed. In this context, the work carried out by Gaindegia, the Basque Country Economic and Social Development Observatory, as well as the effort made by the Basque Country Chamber of Agriculture, must be acknowledged and acknowledged. Both institutions promote the national construction and collaborate with Udalbiltza so that the Pyrenees Basques can work and live in the Basque Country. We have to thank them for their work.
