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!

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]
In recent decades I have worked in the Basque field, both in the Euskaldunization of adults in AEK, and in the defence of linguistic rights in the Observatory, or in favour of the normalization of the Basque country in the Council of Euskalgintza. Everywhere I have heard... [+]
As we know, the Institutional Independence of Hego Euskal Herria has begun a certain roadmap. Signing a new pact with the Spanish State. This path uses some main variables or premises. Thus: The PSOE is a leftist party, the Spanish State is recyclable and it is up to the... [+]
Agorrilaren 27an igorri nizuen gutunean, irailaren 10eko auzian euskaraz deklaratzeko asmoa nuela adierazi nizuen. Auzi honen hastapenean, epaile nagusiari euskaraz zekienez galdegin nion. Gutxiespenarekin ezetz erantzun zidan. Orduan, nere gutuna eskuratu zuenez frantsesez... [+]

The origin of the term lies at the beginning of the nineteenth century. At that time, the imperialist pretensions of the British Liberals clashed with the Russians, which spread in Asia and hindered the desire for colonization of England. To protect its interests, England used... [+]
I started to mentally write my article while I was in the car. I usually have the best ideas in the car while driving alone. I'm going to Bilbao, to the Arriaga theater. The Artedrama company is today staging the Miñan play. It's Friday, October 25.
Approaching the atrium of the... [+]
The society in which we live is absolutely based on subordination. Over the centuries, our lives have been shaped according to it, and little by little the power of decision, freedom and sovereignty have been reduced. Sometimes they've taken us away with force, sometimes we've... [+]
What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]
