Second leg

The atmosphere of recent months leads us to travel the distance and to question ourselves. Healthy exercise, fundamentally. In the last 50 years, the process of revitalization of the Basque Country in Euskal Herria has travelled the way. In Lapurdi, Baxe Nafarro and Xiberua the proportion of vasco-speakers has been decreasing progressively for a quarter of a century. And I'm not going to seriously spoil the survey that's been done every 5 years, when I say that the demographic trends of recent years will make the socio-linguistic photo of 2021 worse. Five decades ago, the generation of precursors had to create tools to stop blood flow. What does the family no longer guarantee the transmission of Euskera? The ikastolas will be created. That the generation of sacrificed adults has not received Euskera at home? Expansion of night classes. What information doesn't exist in our language? Radio stations, participating televisions and Basque journalists will be created.

"Let's not just manage what the previous ones have created. We are going to create a movement that makes the local Basque culture dreamer, free, horizontal, critical and capable"

Seaska, radio, AEK, Uda Leku, etc. They're 30 to 50 years old. Gradually, the pioneer generation has transferred its management responsibilities to the generation of heirs. In the face of mass deseuskaldunization, we have made a rapid commitment to the transmission of the Basque Country. These tools have been developed, massified and expanded. And in order to respond to new needs, we've had to explore new ways of raising revenue. The fights have been nice and we win the battles.

But I'm going to see if, instead of playing it, it's not time to open a new front. A new and complementary struggle for Euskera. Follow-up, strength and consistency of all that has been done to date. Let us not just manage what the previous ones have created. We will create a movement that makes the local Basque culture dreamer, free, horizontal, critical and capable. The column “Transmission – Development – Macro – Convergence – Socio-political consensus” would be given an equivalent symmetry “Use – Compaction – Micro – Power – Abrasive”.

In Ipar Euskal Herria, the Basque is very good. Or rather, they are kept in some committees of the ikastolas of Euskera, in the cafeteria of an Euskaltegi, in a small organizational committee of Euskaraldia or within a local cultural association. If necessary, you can start a first grid to know what each one does. And then work the vision of Euskal Herria to create a workable catalog. And it advances normally, and it looks at where that path is going to lead us. It's not the revolt time, and the future comes black. But if the previous ones have managed to do what seemed impossible, why would we not overcome the hardest?

In the future also in favour of mountains

Living in multilingualism: minority languages strengthen us

September 26 is European Day of Languages, which should be an important day for vasco-speakers. We have a lot to celebrate, the same thing we have to denounce many others. But I have decided to talk about what we have to celebrate today and to claim the strength that this... [+]


Tudela sludges, a clear example of what should not be done

August is the holiday month for many people, including those who rule. And yet it is common to take advantage of the month of August to deal with some issues without much noise, albeit of great importance.

How many?

"How many are you going to do in Basque in 2075? ". The article just published by Kike Amonarriz in the press has an overwhelming title. Before in Euskal Herria, a question of this kind has been asked in Catalonia. Joan M. The sociolinguistionist Tolosarra awake wanted to share... [+]


Undertake and continue

Why be ashamed?

Are we running out of shame? This is the diagnosis of several authors today. Is there no longer a look that can embarrass us? Another thing that Jean-Paul Sartre described in 1943 around shame is that on the other side of the lock, with the eye stuck in the key slot, a person is... [+]

Deleting toponyms

The problem of the afrancession of the names of the places of Euskal Herria is not only due to the lack of consideration of the language in the signaling panels, but also to the execution of a decision on the domiciliation that was taken a few years ago.

Hysterical materialism
They can't learn Basque

She is a mother of Peru and could not start learning Euskera from scratch, as we have read in the newspapers (it was a lie): here perhaps yes, because here the city council guarantees that right (Hernani). If he comes to me at the end of the course (as they have come to me),... [+]

Autumn does not envy spring

If we were to ask which of the four concerts they love most is that of the “four seasons” of Vivaldi, the answers would give them on an equal footing, half the spring and the other half the fall. However, the balance would be made in favour of spring, perhaps because it was... [+]
