Aldatu Gidoia asks the Basque Government not to move Euskera in protest on 18 May
- The mobilization will take place on May 18 in Vitoria-Gasteiz under the motto Change the script in favor of the Basque. The actors involved in the campaign have asked the Basque Government to establish policies for the Basque Country in the audiovisual media and to put the necessary means in EITB to make the Basque Country a priority.
The Aldatu Gidoia movement had its first intervention in September 2023, in which it revealed various concerns and demands. The movement is concerned about the direction of EITB in recent years. Campaign agents have stressed the importance of audiovisual media to “generate collective imagination and linguistic cohesion” and complain that the Basque Government “does not do enough” for culture in Basque and audiovisual in Basque. They consider that the Government's audiovisual policies reject the Basque people and do not respect the linguistic rights of the Basque people. Regarding EITB, they highlight that among the Basques and society, Castilian and television stations in Spanish have assumed the referentiality and prestige, with television and radio in Euskera in second place. They remember that “if it is something strategic for language, it is to have a strong Basque Television”.
The mobilization will begin on May 18 in Gasteiz at 17:30. It will urge the Basque Government to conduct a language policy for Euskera at EITB, but also to place Euskera at the centre of other audiovisual media, such as cinema and platforms. On April 25, EITB presented Makusi, a Basque platform for children and young people.
The unions ELA, LAB and Steilas, the Council of Euskalgintza, UEMA, the Euskal Herrian Euskaraz movement, AEK, the Federation of Ikastolas, the Platform for the Public School and the Association of Professionals of the Euskera Lanartea supported the Aldatu campaign in September 2023.

We urgently need a Basque Radio Television focused on the Basque and the Basque Country. And linguistic policies beyond EITB that guarantee a decent offer in Basque in the cultural panorama, in the cinema and in the main streaming platforms. #Central Euskara (2/4) pic.twitter.com/kvHpOpIiKf

Many have reflected on cultural policies and EITB. Those who, exercising power, have opted for culture and audiovisual in Basque. To all of them, and to everyone who cares about our language and culture, we call to go out into the street on May 18 #Modify Argumentario (3/4) pic.twitter.com/ar1F1HTjwq
