One third of Basque firefighters in Navarra. This amount has also been increased in the last promotion. The Cordovilla fire park today hosts a concentration to ask for the tests to be in Basque. Mintxo Astiz works as a firefighter in Oronoz: "So far we have done all the tests in Spanish and although we have made requests we have not received a response to modify them." Today they had a test, which they also did in Spanish.

They take into account the Basque "only" in the area that according to zoning is Euskaldun. "In Altsasu / Alsasua, Oronotz or Auritz take into account the knowledge of the Basque Country, but to come to the County of Pamplona they do not take it into account," he said. "The neighbors of the County of Pamplona have the right to receive the service in Euskera and that cannot be guaranteed," says Astiz.
