The Alde Unidas platform for the Equality of Speakers for Linguistic Equality is not alone in its procedures against linguistic profiles. According to Argia magazine, the Euskara Denontzat platform works hand in hand with them in the search for citizens who are going to file appeals against public calls.

This new information, released onTuesday night by the magazine  Argia, also links the union CC. OO. to this process. The members of the platform Euskara Denontzat, for a Euskera without barriers, have accepted their participation, but have denied that of the union CC. OO. In fact, the information disseminated by Argia includes an audio in which a person from the group Alde.

According to the audio, Euskara Denontzat would pay a free lawyer to the person who would appeal the call without having a real interest in presenting himself to the proceedings. In this case, the procedure promoted by these two groups is linked to a call issued by the Errenteria City Councilin which 25 administrative places were to be filled.

As can be seen from the audios published by Argia, it is also stated that the CC. OO. "is well aware" of what is being done, and more than one mention is made of Sabin Zubiri Rey, president of Euskara Denontzat and a reference person in the field of language policy of the CC. OO.

Zubiri has acknowledged his involvement in the process, but has explained to Argia that his platform has used this mode of action only with this call for employment in Errenteria, while denying the participation of CC. OO.

"We are prepared to help anyone who is afraid to appeal as in Errenteria, provided that the call contravenes the decree of linguistic profiles of the Basque Government," Zubiri said in Argia.
