The Basque Government condemns not taking into account the learning of the Basque language in the process of regularizing immigrants

The Basque Government is critical of the attitude being shown by the Spanish Government in managing the regularization of immigrants by ignoring some ofthe issues proposed. Nerea Melgosa, Counsellor for Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge, denounces that the proposals of the Basque Government have not been taken into account either in relation to the Basque Country or in relation to training processes.

In an interview on Radio Vitoria, Melgosa has stated that "this is not the regularization that the Basque Government would like ", but that they will" cooperate "with the Spanish Government.

The question of the unborn

As published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country (BOPV), two groups will be excluded from this regularization: the "stateless" (the majority of this group comes from Western Sahara) and the Ukrainians. "This seems serious to us, because at that initial moment there are people who were in regularization and I think it has been a major blow to them," he said.

The Councillor has also been critical that the proposals of the Basque Government have not been taken into account. The Government has called for a positive assessment of the fact that migrants are on their way to learning the Basque language andthat p has been involved in the training processes, but it will not.

"Rights and duties"

Thus, Nerea Melgosa has stated that the Spanish Government has not kept the Autonomous Communities sufficiently informed and has considered it serious, since inthe case of the Basque Country "it was prepared to cooperate from the outset".

Thus, it recalls that the Government proposed from the outset to address theissue "from the point of view of rights and duties".

Melgosa believes that people who want to regularize "need to be told clearly and truly what to do" and also recalls that "since yesterday there has been a draft guide" that will be sent to all associations involved in the matter.
