UPNA students show up to ask for an Euskaldun university
- On Saturday they met in the streets of Pamplona with the motto ‘Euskara gaia, bada garaia! The university in Basque now’. They have denounced that the Basque language is “a third language” in the university.
After four days of camping in favour of the Basque Country at the Public University of Navarra, and after several talks and protests, a demonstration took place on Saturday in the Plaza de los Ajos. They have claimed that they want to study in Basque at the university, and have asked, among other things, for a plan to be put in place for Euskera, for a vice-rector to be created for Euskera, for more credits to be offered in Basque and for workers to be aware of Euskera. Protesters have criticised the fact that in the UPNA the Basque Country is not in the background, but in the third place: “The university beats English before the Basque Country.”
The page Ahotsa.info has reported that hundreds of people have gathered and that according to the organizers, the “complete” student movement has joined claims: “It has become clear that the struggle to learn Basque has the support of the student community.” Feminist groups from the UPNA, young girls students, the women's group Akelarre, ERNAI, the University Force, EHE, the Observatory on Linguistic Rights, LAB and sortu, among others, participated in the demonstration.

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
