Totemical words to cover vague language policy

First it was “positive.” It seems that we saw everything in black, we did not feel sufficiently optimistic, because we did not recognize the efforts of the institutions to increase the knowledge and use of the Basque Country, and he called us “agonists” who for years had the responsibility of linguistic policy in the Basque Government; even a politician from the City Hall of San Sebastian once spoke that the Basque culture was agonic. As things are, they both started in the same game, but they came in different acronyms to a power that they would then share for years.

He has recently used another big word to justify the management of the municipal government: “stabilize”, which during these years have been growing in knowledge and use of the Basque country and that we are now in a stabilization phase, so these “errors” are understandable

These are old issues, which have been heard for twenty years and for the last time ten years, but last year I was answered by a young councillor from his same government coalition, recognizing the errors that the San Sebastian Municipal Government was demonstrating in the use of the Basque Country, to look at “positive aspects of its management”. Look, the totemic word back! Finally, if anyone has taken the time to read these pillars, they will have realised that they have existed and that there are issues of concern, and that is why I asked them what the steps back and the violations I have denounced so many times had positive, they did not even answer me.

Well, recently he used a big word to justify the management of the municipal government: “stabilize”, which during these years have been growing in knowledge and use of the Basque Country, and which we are now in the stabilization phase, so these “errors” are understandable. They say that there is no need for systematic monitoring that we are proposing, and they are grateful for the warnings of our group and the citizens who remain on the street, which help them to improve, which they also see as citizens on the street.

Therefore, this is the formula of denying the pessimistic perception of vasophiles, all too often empirically demonstrated, with a totemic word that alleviates gravity and extends tranquillity. Pure marketing. What tells me that is nothing positive, but teaches me a conscious way of doing that leaves the use of the Basque country in the background. I see this stabilised trend between the PNV and PSE authorities.

Departures, a circus of solidarity and political Alzheimer’s
