Dozens of people in Maule, Donapaleu and Bayonne have joined the rallies called by EHE
Following the rallies that took place on Saturday in a hundred localities of Hego Euskal Herria to denounce the latest sentence against the Euskera, on Sunday in Iparralde there were demonstrations in favour of the Euskera.
Specifically, on Sunday there were rallies in Maule, Donapaleu and Baiona, where dozens of citizens came to cry out for the Euskera.
"Stop treating Euskera as a second-class language! Preferably in Basque now!" in the statement read by the Euskal Herrian Euskaraz movement at these meetings , they have denounced that "Euskera is so often denied or treated as a second language that we are oppressed."
They warn that "only one in eight citizens speaks Basque and the street use of the Basque language in the French Basque Country is decreasing, and in this situation the use of the Basque language will remain very poor or very low".
Thus, they have asked all the social, cultural, economic and political institutions of the Basque Country that do not yet do so to "speak Basque as a priority", that is to say, we ask them to make two jumps: to speak Basque first and to speak Basque for the most part ".
They have given the example of an institution that treats Euskera as a secondary language, namely the Euskal Musoa of Baiona, which, being "a museum whose purpose is to publicize Basque culture", uses Euskera as a Bgian language, "although it is given more space in Basque than in other institutions". They regret that the Basque language almost always follows French and in smaller letters.
