The Council will fill the streets of Pamplona with Euskaltzales today, Saturday, onthe occasion of the great mobilizationin defence of the Euskera . The initiative will bring together thousands of people combining cultural activities, vindictive events and a festive march through the Navarre capital.

The organizers have just presented thedesigns and authors of the banners  ofthe three columns, which will depart at 5 p.m. from the Runa Park, Antoniutti and Plazade la Libertad. Prior to each of them, they will read the propolis and launch a sucker by the hand of three groups, taking into account the work done: Azterketa Euskaraz movement, creators of Basque content and Batuz Aldatu group.

The first, to claim the full officiality of the Basque Country, has been designed by PatxiHuarte Zaldiero, and the second, which focuses on the need to advance language policies, by Asisko Urmeneta. The third, by illustrator Malen Amenabar , emphasizes the importance of placing the Basque language at the forefront of social life.

The Council has explained that the three pillars will then be held in Castle Square, where the main event of the day will be held. The aim of the mobilization is to combine "proclamation and pride"in a festive atmosphere with charangas and various cultural expressions.

Starting at 11:00, the Plaza Santa Ana will host a children's space with the performance of theclowns Porrotx eta Zapotxin  and the games organized by Dindaiakal. At 12:00 the singing will begin in the Old Part, while in the Laba area the music of the group Bermut will be played.

One of the highlights of the morning will be on Karmen Street at 1.30 p.m., where a warm welcome will be given to the Gazte Euskaltzaleon Martxa , whose participants have taken a two-day walking tour between Urepel and Pamplona.

With a view to organising the afternoon march, the Council has established a number of criteria for balancing the composition of the columns: those in Pamplona will have to go to Runa Park; those who arrive by car will go from Antoniutti; and those who travel by bus will leave from Liberty Square.

After the central event in Plaza del Castillo, the day will end with a great pasacalles that will tour the streets of the Old Town, ending a mobilization that aims to make visible the social protection of the Basque Country and demand new advances in the area of linguistic rights .
