“A friendly Basque and...” says Niko Etxarte singing. Also you, Niko Sagarzazu, think you'll join this interpretation and probably take the refrain to the pu(n). Because we don't always think that your chair is nice to you every day. We don't question what you do, we miss what you don't do.

In the events of the young people’s way of study, we have often been given your name, saying that the decision is in your hands. We didn't get any successful results before, and even if you got nothing now, it would be too late. Maybe the next course, that's it! We always write to remember that our students are living a terrible injustice.

The difficulties and disabilities so that the young people of Ipar Euskal Herria can continue to learn Basque in Hego Euskal Herria from 17-18 years, year after year, remain there; they are the nightmare of many families. Each administration makes the other a foreign citizen, especially from the French Basque Country. The lack of agreement between the three institutions (Colegio Vasco, Gobierno Vasco, Gobierno de Navarra) and the lack of a unitary educational program makes students also foreigners in Euskal Herria. At the university level, little by little, roads are being opened, they are being facilitated, thanks to the work and the will of some responsible people, believing in the project and promoting Basque studies. In Vocational Training, Sagarzazu and Arevalo, year after year, follow the walls. Here is the Hezkuntek project: a good precedent for maturing and restarting.

Difficult access to Vocational Training, often impossible in Basque, and now what, and the last surprise: Suspension of the Erasmus vocational training programme.

The fortunate Erasmus provides guidance for students to be able to pursue their studies or their internships abroad. Abroad yes: An Irun student could do internships in Hendaia thanks to Erasmus. One from Sara in Bera. One from Baiona in Donostia... From “Euskadi” abroad, yes, Niko, you will live it normal from wherever you are. The others, in Euskal Herria – those of us who are outside the CAV – suffer, suffer.

Let us suppose that a student of Donibane Lohizune who is studying in Irun has found a company next to his home to do work, close, comfortably possible thanks to Erasmus. No, not this year. You will not be able to do internships near home, you will have to go to Irun – it would be the closest – to “Euskadi” (i.e. to Spain). COVID-19 seems to be guilty. We would laugh if it wasn't pathetic. The need to walk along the road does not only take into account the risks, expenses, limitations... that in the school program there is a new company, discovered by the student himself, etc., but it seems to us a huge lack of respect. The exemption cannot be made. Therefore, make what now seems to you an exception become something normal, viable. Let the exceptions serve to initiate the opening of this path. It makes us think that behind that there is little will to solve the situation, no desire to do a little beyond the daily task, no concern.

They make more use of what was said in the autumn European Vocational Training Week: “The European Commission has emphasised that in this way the Euskadi Vocational Training and the Basque Government are recognised as being able to respond to complex global challenges, such as supporting people and companies, promoting training and innovation. Always a look at excellence through collaboration between Vocational Training Centres and socio-economic actors” www.irekia.euskadi.eus. Responsiveness,

response to complex global challenges, collaboration, support for people... To the truth! If Europe looks at us so much and we are a mirror, take advantage of that ‘Basque’ for Europe to take it seriously. Or you do not believe either and only use it to stay well and the salaries, do nothing, while in the Basque Country you have certificates, tirrit!

In the same way, where are they, what do they say, what are those who appear in pictures doing as cross-border driving programs? Then, the institutional positions, those responsible, have to meet so as not to see the imperative need to build a proper Basque education system, and to make the right place in Europe. It would take leaves and leaves to explain, in all honesty and truth, all the realms of reality.

According to the feeling we have, and if we get so far better wrong, with this kind of person never Euskal Herria. There is no excuse for Niko Etxart to continue singing in all the chorus!
