Regarding the institutional knowledge of Ipar Euskal Herria, qualitative steps have been taken since the beginning of 2012, as a sign of the achievements of this phase. The project of territorial collectivity worked, the institutional needs of Ipar Euskal Herria, the political knowledge that he owed him and that summarizes what French legislation allows today. Broad consensus in favour of this project, on the part of both political and social actors. The unprecedented coordination of all actors for the dissemination and defence of this project. In other words, the legitimacy gained by the struggle for the institution and the relationship of forces that it never achieved, which has made the institution’s claim possible and real. However, it has not been enough, at least for the moment, to generate change, to open the way to institutional knowledge. This has been reflected in the dancing of the amendments on the North in the French Senate and in the French Parliament during the month of June/July, the speech by Minister Marylise Lebranchu and the eruption of the Jacobins.

On 13 July the Batera platform opened a debate on the strategy and in this post it will have to set the directions. In the dynamics of mobilizations, a parentheses can be considered, as the municipal elections will be held next March. However, there is no doubt that the issue will be on the table. However, the discussions that have to do with knowledge and territorial organization are on the street corner. One of them is the reorganization of local communities, especially in the interior, which needs to be dyed in one or two of the three schools in Lower Navarra (Amikuze, Iholdi-Oztibarre, Garazi-Baigorri) that currently exist. On the other hand, the map of the cantons that are the electoral constituencies of the department will be modified in 2014, dividing its number into two. These changes and conciliations, in addition to altering the balances between the different political forces, will also affect the citizens. In another order of things, 2013 ends the Territorial Plan contract (through which the development projects of the different sections of Ipar Euskal Herria are supported by the State, Aquitaine and the Department for 6-7 years). Normally the new 2014/2020 contract is to be completed and negotiated without the end of the year, but if the institutional question is paralysed, it is not clear how it will happen. Finally, in the coming months, the other two chapters of the Government’s draft decentralization bill will be debated, again citing the place of Ipar Euskal Herria. It seems that the high-intensity phase of recent months will soon become aware of new avatars. In the morning.
