Who has no respect for Euskera?
In Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, at least 97% of respondents said that the Basque country should be treated with respect. On the other hand, 14% of the Basque people are mistrust. Further conclusions are drawn from the EGOD survey: 85% of the population of the CAV consider that the Basque country has a pragmatic value, 81% that must promote it and 61% that must demand it.
The survey is only part of the most ambitious project. The EGOD project has been launched by the Vice-Ministry of Language Policy of the Basque Government. It is a project to elaborate Basic Discourses on the Basque Country. The VPL aims to analyze, contrast, renew and share basic discourses on language. To do so, they have used several forms: surveys, discussion groups, expert forum and bibliographic examination, among others. They have worked on five groups: respect, pragmatic value, promotion, vindication and mistrust.
The strategic axes most strongly supported in the development of the EGOD are:
- The Vasophile discourse based on solidarity must be strengthened.
- From the thought that “Euskera is necessary”, to change “languages are necessary” to thought.
- Exclusion of linguistic policy from ideological debate, controversy and partisan interests.
- Expand and complement the identity perspective to new conceptions.
- The Community meaning of its own is much wider than that of the area to which it adheres: from nationalist symbolism, becoming a symbol of citizenship in general.
- Associating Euskera with positive values and personal gratifying experiences.
- To improve the perception and image of the Basque Country, focusing especially on young people.
- Leave the hyper-righteousness behind.
- To develop and implement a strategy to overcome the symbolic violence on the Basque people that prevails in society, in order to remove the complexity of a dominated language and to be able to live dignified in it.
The victims created by the IAP are not only functionalized teachers thanks to the stabilization process brought about by the IAP Law, but much more. Some have been given some media visibility as a result of Steilas's appeal, but most of them are invisible. All the victims of the... [+]

In recent months I have had to work in a number of institutes and, at some point, I have had to talk to the students about the possibilities offered by the labour market. The typology of the students is varied and in the same city varies a lot from one neighborhood to another,... [+]
Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.
The first time I have read or heard it, the title of the... [+]
I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
