They ask the City Hall to set up children's schools with linguistic immersion models in Basque in all the districts of Pamplona
In Pamplona/Iruña there are twelve public children's schools, of which only one is the model in Basque. A dozen agents have joined the demonstration and have asked the City Hall to recognize the "special situation" in which vasco-speakers are located.
This Tuesday, dozens of families have come together in Pamplona to demand that the model of Schools for Children in Euskera be extended to all the neighborhoods of Pamplona, as currently only one of the twelve schools managed by the City Council has implemented the model of immersion. Convened by the Euskalgintza Platform of Pamplona, under the motto “Schools for children in Euskera in all neighborhoods”, the unions AEK and IKA, the sortzen association, EHE, the Council of Euskalgintza, the Observatory of Linguistic Rights, LAB, ELA and Steilas, and the Management Group Euskalgintza protests.
The mobilization has started in the Casco Viejo, started from the Paseo Sarasate and ended in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. There, spokesperson Asier Biurrun, about 200 people have pointed out that “in the case of children’s schools, teaching and services in Basque need special measures” and that the City of Pamplona should follow the principles established in the European Treaty of Minority Languages: on the one hand “carry out real actions for the promotion of the Basque Country in order to protect it”; on the other hand, “provide research.
They have asked the City of Pamplona to take into account "the special situation" of the Vasco-speakers and that children's schools be an educational service for children, essential to ensure that future citizens of Pamplona can also live in Basque". They consider “essential” that parents have a linguistic immersion model in Euskera in all children’s schools in the neighborhoods, and ask for “promotion and equity measures”. With the Basque language as “Pamplona’s own language”, until 2027, in relation to the renewal of the commitment of Ciudad Amiga de la Niño, they have suggested that “it is time to talk about the linguistic rights of children” and have proposed to the City Hall “whether it considers all children equal or not”.
