It is time, the official Basque country and it is now!
On December 15, the "Basque Law" will be 36 years old. 36 years since the division of Nafarroa Garaia in three areas. 36 years since the division of our linguistic rights into three areas. Living in Basque as an option associated with a specific area.
Since then, we Basques have been officially excluded from most of the territory. Being born in Viana, Peralta or Fustiñana, we are condemned to live the Basque as if it did not exist. In Auritz / Burguete, Altsasu / Bera we have not guaranteed the use of Euskera in the administration or in the health center. And let's not say in Pamplona, Tafalla or Sangüesa. In a single administrative area, citizens have more or less legal rights depending on where they are. Injustice is where, and in Nafarroa Garaia. The hand of Irulegi has clearly taught us in Upper Navarre that Euskera has its own language. Lingua Navarrorum.
The language policy against Basque and Basque is planned. In fact, this law aims to prevent the normalization of the Basque Country and maintain its situation of dependence. Since the change of the Government of Navarra took place in 2015, the last two legislatures have planned to address different policies in different areas. Regarding the normalization of the Basque Country, however, there have been some improvements, but these have been very limited. Although we have seen some small measures in favour of Euskaldunisation, we have also seen setbacks on some issues, and have not had the will to overcome zoning, which is the main obstacle to Euskaldunisation, both the parties that have been present in the last two governments and those that have supported these governments. They deliberately decide to put the issue of zoning in the drawer.
This cannot continue. This being so, the legislature starting in 2023 must be to bring about profound structural changes in the guarantee of linguistic rights. During a third legislature, Euskera and Basques cannot be marginalised. We cannot accept that the Basques should remain second-year Navarros. Are these Basque and progressive parties ready to continue the injustice of zoning? At least not the Basque people. Enough. It is time to respect the linguistic rights of the Basques. We need a new law guaranteeing the recognition of linguistic rights throughout the territory, which makes the Basque official throughout Nafarroa Garaia. We talk about social justice.
We want to call all Euskaldunes to live in Euskera and demand what we have to do. Only the activation of citizens can achieve and eliminate the current exclusionary law. Thus, on 15 December, at 7 p.m., we will meet with the Parliament of Navarra. It is time, the official Basque country and it is now!

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]
