The first issue of the literary magazine Maiorga, published 40 years ago, had to kill the Basque of the epilogue “to give way to other civilized languages, Unamuno had it, it had it. The chapter “We don’t want the compost of another language” led me to the two events. On the one hand, the prefect of France in the Atlantic Pyrenees, using the logo of the Euskararen Eguna, “Prefeta invites all Basque speakers to
a good party. The State supports Euskera, an important element of the heritage of France, through the Basque Public Institution”. On the other hand, the inclusion of Bertsolarism in the list of cultural assets of its immaterial heritage by the French Ministry of Culture. Paris, Bordale, Paue: we're not your blankets.

The French Ministry of Culture was requested to be included in the list. After the question we have received an answer. There is one reason I have not satisfied, which I trust the agents of Bertsolarism who have offered us this beautiful, rich and Basque autumn, which I have only to thank the day after last in Nafarroa Arena. But without asking anything, want a “good party” on December 3? Who and France? No, Paris, ours is not a kiss, it is a pity to face obstacles without officialdom, and the fault is yours. The use of the Basque image did not raise powders, the Basque cultural activity did not exercise it (at least not publicly).

Customs are individual, but the environment strongly influences them. On the path of balance, together with the political and systemic component, we must unite the desire to invest that land in the socio-linguistic exercise. Otherwise, Paris will use us as a compost, paving once a year with a cursed chio.
