Judge rejects the abolition of Euskera's profile in public employee oppositions
- Claiming that the demand for the profile of Euskera as a public employee in the CAV is discriminatory, the denunciation of a citizen who has filed for the opposition comes back to judgment. But on this occasion the San Sebastian Court made it clear: public employees have to know Basque in order to guarantee the rights of citizens.
They are oppositions at trial to cover fourteen places of caregiver at the Uliazpi Foundation of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa. This is not the first time, because more than one citizen who does not know Euskera accused of the resolutions that have been given in some cases has gone to the courts, arguing that the demand of the Basque citizen as a public employee goes against the Spanish Constitution and is discriminatory – not in vain, the judgment mentions on several occasions the decision to suspend the demand of Euskera in the opposition to the local police of Irun.
On this occasion, the judge has made it clear that precisely the Spanish Constitution considers Euskera as a co-official language in the CAV and that, therefore, to guarantee the right of citizens to its use, Euskera can be required of public employees.
Need for defence against attacks
The workers and representatives of the union LAB have taken part in the litigation as a defendant and have made the decision with satisfaction, emphasizing “the need to articulate the defense of the law, of the unions and of the citizenship before all the attacks against the Basque Country”. He says that the linguistic profile is essential to respect the linguistic rights of those cared for and of the family, in short, “the administration that can work in Basque will guarantee only the linguistic rights of all citizens”.
