The Council of the Basque Culture has called for the "revival of the Euskaltzale movement" throughout Navarre and the officiality of the Basque Country
On the 39th anniversary of the adoption of the Euskera Foral Act, the platform denounces that zoning "denies fundamental rights" and creates inequality among the Navarros, and calls on citizens to participate in the event to be held in Bilbao on 27 December.
On Monday, the Council of the Basque Culture called for the "revival of the Basque movement "and the guarantee of the official status of the Basque Country throughout Navarre, in a rally held before the Navarre Parliament on the 39th anniversary of the adoption of the Euskera Foral Act.
During the event, the platform described the 1986 rule as "segregating" by limiting the official status of the Euskera to a part of the territory and warned that this zoning "denies fundamental rights" and creates inequality among the citizens of Navarre.
Dozens of people have gathered behind a banner reading Officiality. The organizers have projected an "official Euskera" on the facade of the Foral Parliament.
According to the manifesto read, the Euskera and its community of speakers are "in a situation of linguistic emergency". This observation was made a year ago and, in the opinion of the Basque Culture Council, is supported by recent sociolingual data.
In this regard, he points out that the projections made by the SIADECO group for the Commonwealth of Basque Municipalities (UEMA) warn of therisk of the number of speakers being suspended and reduced if language policies are not changed.
The platform has stressed that the denial of the official status of the Basque language in Navarre is a "fundamental obstacle" to the development of effective and sustainable public policies and has argued that officiality is a "minimum recognition" to guarantee equal rights and progress towards linguistic standardization.
It has also called for social mobilization and called on Euskaltzales to participate ina event on 27 December in Bilbao to "show unity and strength" and to demand changes in language policies.
"The officiality of the Basque language throughout Navarre is the minimum guarantee for the opening of a new cycle of regression and revitalization," concludes the manifesto, which calls for "a new impetus" for the language.
