The Council and Bagera call for a concentration in Donostia to “manifest disagreement” over violations of language rights

  • The final judgment is dated 18 September: The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country has rejected the call for places of the Municipal Police of Donostia-San Sebastián. The Basque Council of the Basque Country and the Association of the Basque Country Bagera of Donostia-San Sebastián have convened a concentration at 19:00 in Alderdi Eder.

LAB sindikatuak deituta, Euskotrenen ere zerbitzua euskaraz jasotzeko eskubidea defendatu zuten irailaren 17an. UGTak jarri zuen helegitea lanpostuetan hizkuntz eskakizuna baliogabetzeko. Argazkia: LAB.

According to the Council's note, representatives of the City of Donostia-San Sebastian, responsible for PNV and EH Bildu, as well as representatives of the ELA and LAB trade unions will be present at the meeting.

The Council has stated that judgments contrary to the normalisation of Euskera have "intensified" in recent years due to the "offensive of the judiciary". He stressed that the inclusion of citizenship services in one's own language is a fundamental right and that if municipal agents do not know Euskera they will not be able to guarantee the rights of Euskaldunes.

He has called on the citizens to participate in the concentration “to show their unequivocal disagreement over this judgment and violation of rights”. The association of Euskaltzales Bagera de Donostia-San Sebastián has stated in his note that "they want to live in Euskera in Donostia-San Sebastián" and that "they will not accept rights cuts".

What the sentence says: The municipal police of Donostia-San Sebastián need not know Euskera

The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country has ratified the judgment given in December by the Administrative Dispute Tribunal No. 3 of Donostia-San Sebastián: The City Council of Donostia-San Sebastian has annulled the call made for two police officers of the Municipal Police of Donostia-San Sebastián. The City Council of Donostia-San Sebastian appealed the resolution, but the High Court of Justice rejected it on the grounds that it is not necessary for the agents to know the Basque Country, in the midst of the judicial offensive against the Euskaldunes, for reasons that have been repeated on several occasions: to ask for a profile in Basque "is abusive and discriminatory", as the aim of the local police staff.
