In the Basque Country there is a law (I think the law of 2016) that imposes on all municipalities of the CAPV the obligation to carry out a Linguistic Impact Assessment when dealing with a new project. On the other hand, a decree that develops this law states: “The municipalities shall carry out an assessment of the linguistic impact of the plans and projects listed below, as well as of their substantial modifications affecting the use of the Basque Country.” Among these plans and projects to be evaluated are, of course, tourism projects.
"The PNV wants to support the linguistic uses of small towns (in the CAV), but Geroa Bai (in Navarra) does not see the need to use such criteria. Why?"
In Navarre there is no such law, so the linguistic impact of the Aroztegia project, which will double the population of Lekaroz, and even the entire Baztan, will not be evaluated. And you don't need it either, because we all know that the impact will be crusher (for the Basque Country, of course).
It's not easy to understand. The PNV wants to support the linguistic uses of small towns (in the CAV), but Geroa Bai (in Navarra) does not see the need to use such criteria. Why? Is the PNV more socio-green than the Future considered as such? For the PNV, Navarra and Iparralde are only a “backyard” in which anything is free for the elites of the Basque metropolis to rest. Meanwhile, those of Etchebest Etxalde, in the press on 3 May: “A millionaire world that we do not know has reached the Northern Basque Country. They have a lot of money and, on the contrary, the locals have no more benefits and cannot stay here.” Is that the only possible model of development at the Baztan?
In vain are these elegant terms that are so fond of politicians for the marivista (“spatial planning”, “sustainable development”, “balance between regions”, “municipal autonomy”…). Once again it has become apparent that Navarre is a cortijo who runs an economic elite from Pamplona. The only “change” is that now others have managed to put their nose into a enclosure that was previously exclusive to UPN and PSN.
Someone would have to arrange buses so that the prospective buyers of the new houses come to see firsthand the lamias that will rob them in the living room and the basajaunes that will serve them coffee with milk, to see if they match the image painted by Dolores Redondo.
