Recession of the Basque Country in Zizur Mayor

  • The plenary session of the City of Zizur Mayor cut the Basque Ordinance in the plenary session on 26 January. They voted in favour of the cut by Geroa Bai, EH Bildu, PSOE and AS Zizur (Navarra Suma wanted to reduce further).

Changes are as follows:

1-Earlier the ordinance stated that Euskera had to be valued at all job calls (if the post had no bilingual profile). It is now said that it will be valued in all opposition competitions. That is, it may happen that 90% of the job calls are not made in opposition, so that 90% of the calls do not value the Basque.

2-Before the ordinance said that the merit of the Basque knowledge would be 5% and 10% in public attention positions. It is now said that the knowledge of the Basque country can be scored up to 10%. It is therefore possible to give a value of 0.01 to Basque knowledge, for example.

Furthermore, it is said that a report should justify the assessment of the Basque country. Why? Because the Administrative Court of Navarra has on many occasions abolished the bilingual places of Zizur and has on many occasions prevented the Basque Country from being valued as a merit, arguing that it was not sufficiently justified.

But, as Andoni Serrano (Geroa Bai) said in plenary, "although the Basque assessment is justified by thousands of reports, the Administrative Court of Navarra will not be satisfied". It is not the right way to comply with the Basque policy of the Administrative Tribunal of Navarra, but to denounce it publicly: Article 17 of the Foral Law of the Basque Country empowers municipalities in the mixed area to create bilingual places and value Euskera as merit. All the Administrative Tribunal of Navarra does about this is a legal war against the Basque Country.

On the other hand, although on this occasion we will not go into the matter further, we would like to remind the Basque parties in Zizur that the City of Zizurkil has brought an action against the Basque Country before the Superior Court of Justice of Navarra. It was a media stir that promised to withdraw the resource, but has not yet withdrawn it.
