GUKA has presented in Bilbao the “free plaza” of the Euskaltzales of Bilbao. For a long time, hundreds of Euskaltzales in the capital have pointed out that it is the result of the work carried out. Having been “reflecting, gathering and drawing”, they have presented the movement that has been created to work freely in Basque.

VII of 2021. According to the Socio-linguistic Survey, 103,631 vasco-speakers live in Bilbao and 66,172 are the target vasco-speakers. According to the Street Measurement of the Use of the Basque Country, the use is only 3.5%. The movement has highlighted its “readiness to face the current challenges of the Basque industry” and the proposal to “do, influence and do”.

On Thursday, the Basque people in Bilbao presented the following messages: saratze, justice, universal, establish alliances, leisure, holidays and culture in Basque or fast salvation. They have spread the message “We are movement, we are GUKA” through social networks after the presentation.

According to Berria, the GUKA will have two lines, “to strengthen and create more the respiratory spaces of the Basque Country” and “the keys, the causes, the objectives and the diffusion of the movement in favor of the Basque Country”. The members of the movement have stated that they want to stop being “an ideological, political and legal offensive against the Basque people, to step in Bilbao, a marginal speaker and a secondary speaker”, according to Naiz.
