Place of Euskera
The French Ministry of Education determined that “some of the tests of the low will be able to pass in the regional languages” and the students, teachers and parents of Seaska were mobilized last week in favor of their realization. It would be a step, even if it is not as big as you want, to achieve that right.
I couldn't help but imagine this first test in Basque. I have experienced an ancient trauma, a kind of mistrust, which already knows that choosing Euskera carries a series of risks; that being assigned to Euskera in some areas does not mean that they respect Euskera and Euskaldunes.
"We fix errors inside, but error is not almost the main problem, but lack of respect."
I remember when I decided to take the Basque driving test. I read the exam and I recognize that for a moment I repent of my militancy. When the nor-nork and nor-nori-nork forms were more important than ever (who will let him pass to whom, who will stand still, who cannot advance who), the questions were full of grammatical errors. While I was choosing A, B or C, I was thinking: “Please let the Basque at least be a corrector, let him be aware of the confusion in the question, let him forgive me, and let him be disturbed by the author of this study.”
They are similar to the notes of the university or the professional training. A lot of specialized themes are also taught in Spanish in the Basque Country, or the students are forced to endure nefarious translations that burn their eyes and bronze their hearts: orthopedic calcos of erdaldunes sentences, romos texts, incomprehensible letters distanced from the form and logic of the Basque Country. What happens in these cases? Spanish is chosen, to save on the reinterpretation of the text in Basque (as when you read the menus of some bars). And nothing about the choice of Euskera on social networks or on electronic devices. The birthday of your friend It’s your! Congratulations to Wish himself! You have one new notification. Yes beautiful, bilingual.
We have become accustomed to risk and rejection, to reading with fear posters, signs, paragraphs; we correct the errors inside, but the error is not almost the main problem, but the lack of respect, not altering anything and not expecting anything. In the entrance test to the University of the South it is enough to compare the linguistic level in Spanish with that of Euskera. Space does not guarantee its value.

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.
In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]
It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]
In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]
They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]
Uwa, kamsá, tukuná, uitoto, tikun, embera, nasa/yuwe, nuka, sikuani, siano, macuna, yuruti, kichwa, achagua, bora, truncar. These are some of the languages spoken in Colombia. Unfortunately, when I lived in Colombia, in Cundinamarca, I did not have the opportunity to learn our... [+]

I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]
Aware of the importance of ideology in political behaviour, we Basques must pay particular attention to the issue of our ideology, since within the framework of a concrete ideological location it is always decided what to do, what not to do, how, with whom, against whom, etc... [+]
It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.
I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
