“With less space, your countries will be equally present in our country!” they told us.

In the media, especially in the written press and in public television because of the crisis, because ads are reduced, the consumption of information is altered, action must be taken. And of course, everywhere, tomorrow or later, rumours are spreading about reducing the number of journalists and technicians in the best cases. Reference is made, at least initially, to social schemes for voluntary start-up from the outlines. And in the short term, it is also proposed to “lighten” the virtues of the media.

The article of the Ararteko of the Reader of October 14, El País, is of interest. It refers to the concerns of the readers about the disappearance of the journal that until then was offered about Galicia, in exchange for the two pages that are now requested. So that the Galicians can rest assured! “The journal’s commitment to readers does not change. Editorial treatment will be less, but in Galicia we will maintain the spirit of our work,” says Ararteko.

Well, reading this, I thought that the directors of France 3 have done the same school of management in El País. For, among us, Omiasaindu and Christmas, in the so-called “Southwest” of the French regional public chain, will suspend twelve other local information such as France 3 Euskal Herria.

Crisis! But quiet! In Aquitaine, the countries of the region (Biarno, Iparralde, Perigords) will not disappear from the listeners’ day to day. They will have visibility in the Bordeaux news section! In other words, the response from the leadership of Paris has been given to the very concerned councillors (senators, MEPs, general councils, mayors…).

Like The Country! From the right to the left of Ipar Euskal Herria, including the centrists, the Greens and the Abertzales, although the broad support of trade unions and popular movements has manifested itself in the political sphere, nothing will change: in three weeks local information will be suspended. The information will be on holiday! Here's some news! After all, there is a process of recapitalisation. Peripheral marginalization. If this is not the case, why do we harm local information? How can you say that engagement with countries is retained if the little daily informative seven minutes and 40 seconds is changed to a 90-second report? Is the minimum presence of local languages not guaranteed at regional level (as opposed to local information)?

And what will be the next destination? The red street? !
