We started to despair

Surely the government of Uxue Barkos needed these 20 slow months. Appropriate the rules of the game. Measure forces. Check in boxes. Detect traps, nullify them. Know roofs and sewers. (Really) to distinguish friends and enemies… But how long they have made us.

The most worrying thing has not been the beginner's leg meteors. The most worrying thing has been the lack of agility, the gray tone, the lame in decision-making. He behaved as if he had all the time in the world, without it being clear that he had all the time in the world. By 2015, the hope that had awakened in May had become uncertain in December. We had started to slide from doubt to despair by the end of 2016.

This is where the government has suddenly taken over.

It has surprised UPN in an offside situation by showing the teeth to Madrid by the economic agreement it has agreed. Javier Esparza's party also did not expect the Patxi López government "to have addressed the conflicting projects of the train and the train". Cancelling the symbol of symbols is no longer a promise. The presentation of the Strategic Plan of the Basque Country has marked a direction and a series of goals in a sector that seemed not to be able to start. The foral decree that will regulate the use of our language is about to arrive.

You can't say the government has squeezed the accelerator. This year we will again have time to resize the real measures, seeing the deadlines that the Barkos cabinet imposes on itself. This year's and a half's eagerness to postpone decisions until we have all the data on the table is not going to drop in the time of the legislature. However, this issue has taken a very different aspect.

The news has come flowing, and most have sweetness. The Basque money has multiplied several times in the 2017 budgets of Navarre. The children's schools in Pamplona will again expand their Basque offer this year as well. In the Ribera, the public commitment to model D comes consolidated and improved. Zoning will soon be shaken: twelve municipalities in the non-Basque area have informed the Government of Navarre of their willingness to remain in the mixed area. They may be the beggars of other peoples like Tafalla or Sangüesa.

There's still a little less of this than that. Let him notice. The latest socio-linguistic survey has detected an increase in anti-language attitudes; UPN and pp scandals do not lack listeners or speakers. In others I don't know. As far as Euskera is concerned, it is better to be clear where to go, than to walk slowly and without great scares, rather than going up the ground. Even if I don't have all the time in the world.
