Two weeks ago, the financing of the French radio stations was at issue, as the French Ministry of Culture intended to reduce subsidies to local associations by 35%. At that time, there were about 200 associations in the labour market, including Euskal Irratiak of Iparralde.
The explanation is reversal economics, if you prefer it can be called debt, bankruptcy, fraud, lie; that is, there is no money, above all there is no money for culture.

The problem of the Basque Radios had a solution, provisional – because that is how we have learned to live the Basques from then on – until the next.

In the Basque Country, a long time ago, we have the redundant case of the Public Agency of the Basque Country, the history of the credits for the Basque culture is like the latter, as well as the enrichment of various local initiatives.

In recent years, repeatedly, the state, sometimes the region, sometimes the departments, all of them with branches and extensions at state level, maintain budgets, delay projects and extend precariousness, and jeopardise the survival – not development – of language and culture.

You might think it's just a matter of the Basques, or a few projects, but it's not. For example, in the last spring a number of cultural associations in Brittany suffered a reduction in aid in the region. Can the territory where cultural rights are enshrined in the laws be selective in relation to the cultural model to be supported? The prefect of the region also mentioned the economic reasons here, because it is said that if they were given to the associations, they could be taken from other areas and not… A few days ago, the newspaper La Montagne, which is broadcast in the centre of France, said: The musical and visionary group called Aquaserge was denied the promised subsidy, they say, was on the order of the prefect, for political reasons. According to La Montagne, the prefect found a connection between the group and a supposed question of ultra-leftist terrorism that the Interior Minister, Darmanin, wanted to undo the Treasures of the Earth movement, which was finally prevented by the Council of State. Aquaserg's fault is, therefore, to be of a militant plain, where migrants are defended, where forests and water are cared for. In July, health services in several French regions reduced aid to organise sex education activities in schools from day to day. Some of these actions are carried out by structures called Family Planning and belong to the educational field, at a time when sexism continues to develop among young people, in a society in which the culture of rape is still well established.

And so we can make a long list, of course, of cultural and educational limitation. Whether at state or regional level, where permits, competences and fortunes are distributed and deleted, sometimes without anyone giving them an explanation, using the excuse of an "insufficient budget" and, occasionally, without work to invent excuses.

We are what we do. What we do accuses us, whether it's the choice, the decision, the hands that stretch or the hidden in the back, the messages that spread or the messages that are silenced. France does not want to see anyone out of the line: for that it has the finance law, against separatism, ministers, prefects. And the money, under pressure.
