Álava more euskaldun, but...
These are the words of Asier Etxenike collected in Alea magazine: “Our environment is more Euskaldun than we think, but we must be aware of it, we must become aware and take advantage of the opportunities we have to live in Euskera...”
This idea was reaffirmed at the XXII Euskaltzaindia Congress held in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Jagon Day. As explained here, the VI. The Socio-linguistic Survey shows that three out of four Alaveses between the ages of 16 and 30 are Vasco-speakers. The overall use of Euskera, if not more than 5.6%, has risen 1.3 points between 2011 and 2016. Children and adolescents would certainly provide higher data. The Grand Duke, having devoted a large part of his troops to the Grand Duke, saw that the Grand Duke escaped from his hands, did so with such force that he escaped his shoulder. It was explained that the Measurement of Street Use also shows an upward trend.
The conference was attended by representatives of various citizens, professional and institutional initiatives that are driving this positive evolution. The lights and shadows of the process were shown in a very balanced and measured tone. Sensations of the future, in general, hopeful and hopeful.
However, the Head of Line, but we have finished one. Why? One of the most serious concerns and complaints of the speakers was imposed on the others: Raw testimony of Treviño County. In fact, if Álava is – or should be – “not Álava” as far as the Basque country is concerned. This was said by Pilar Ansotegi of the Gutxisolo association, who brought many significant arguments to this assertion.
However, we ended up with a “but”. Why? One of the most serious concerns and complaints of the speakers was imposed on the others: Treviño's Raw Testimony
The steps that have been taken in Treviño County are admirable, among others, the opening of the ikastola in La Puebla de Arganzón. In addition to explaining the steps taken, the representative of the region was also a spokesperson for other voices. If they were not serious, we could describe as hopeful some anecdotes about the Basque Country; for example, that the civil guards put controls in the vicinity of the ikastolas. Euskera seems to be dangerous in the community of Castilla-Leon, but also totally foreign. It is as strange as the languages of Africa or Asia, which do not have the widest gap in the official status of the autonomous community. On the other hand, they go beyond the competencies of the Alavese institutions; “it is not Álava” in relation to the Basque country. As a result of all this, in the effort to promote the Basque country everything becomes difficulty and obstacle.
Treviño's story reminded listeners of the terrible experiences of Franco. The only protection they have is the protection of citizenship. Compared to the situation in the area, the change in the territories of Álava (others) is evident. That is why, if the heavy inertia of fascism is to be overcome in Spain, in the radical transformation that the Constitution should have, local languages must be recognised. Meanwhile, Álava is more Euskaldun, yes, but…
