I don't know at CAPV. In Navarra the name and the being coincide. That is, we have many numbers in the linguistic stress lottery to be able to speak in Basque with a young man with grace in Basque. Similarly, chance increases the chances of an adult with a Basque name being at least Euskaltzale. But the relationship is not mathematical.

The mayor of the Egüés Valley, Xuriñe Peñas, has been very famous for her statements during the last weeks in a plenary of her town hall. Specifically, the activities in Euskera have been considered “discriminatory” for the Castellanoparlantes by this woman, in front of all the councilors of this municipality of Pamplona. A minute earlier, your politician said he knew Basque.

I do not know Mrs Peñas. Therefore, I do not have the data to reverse that assertion. In any case, it is not so clear what exactly that means, which Basque knows. Our sociolinguistics has difficult to internalize both the wide casuistic within the so-called knowledge, from almost zero to infinity. Leaving aside questions of wisdom, it would be more significant to clarify the relationship that Xuriñe Peñas has with the Basque Country. Without disrupting ingenuity, we can imagine that the father and mother were somehow due to some Vasophils four decades ago, as well as to the teaching linked to the Basque Country, which is still imagined. We can only suspect to what extent model D Euskaldunió and how far it did. We only refer to isil-misilka, but the cases of students who end up hating studies in Euskera are not so rare, neither in the Foral Community nor outside the Foral Community, and although not so in the Xuriñe Community, there are thousands of children who receive the last brush of the Basque Country in the whole of Euskal Herria with the last school day. The elderly are foreseeable: the rock erdaldun and erdaldun in a professional environment without Euskera. A more common history than desired.

Not all of us take them, not all of us take them. The newspaper Berria has just analysed the results of the last socio-linguistic survey by territory. In the case of Navarre, one fact attracted the attention of the journalist: being the Euskaldun age group, it is also the one that has the most attachment to the Basque. Specifically, in the group from 16 to 24 years, 28% do well in Euskera, but only 27.2% are in favor of promoting Euskera. Believing that among those who are more or less in Euskera there is some Vascophyll, at least one, the size of the flight suffering from Euskera and Euskaltzalism by our side is clearer.

The party is complicated.
