The Administrative Court of Pau has provisionally suspended the decisionsof the houses of Bayonne and Sara officially recognizing the Basque language as their own language, accepting the appeal lodged by the Prefect of the Atlantic Pyrenees.
The House of the People of Sara adopted the resolution on 2 July and the House of Bayonne on 23 July. In the case of the Labour capital, the Gascon was also recognised alongside the Euskera.
The Prefect of the Atlantic Pyrenees appealed to the courts on the grounds that these decisions might be contrary to the law, and the Court of Pau has provisionally decided to suspend the decision.
Both local houses have announced that tomorrow they will appeal to the Administrative Court of the Provincial Court and will continue to defend their initiative.
Bayonne Mayor Jean Rene Etchegaray has stated that the decision cannot be understood and has complained that in the case of local languages the state has "a kind of allergy".
If the appeal to the Administrative Court of Bordeaux does not succeed, the representatives are ready to go to the Court of Cassation in Paris.
On 21 November, the Basque Confederation has called for a demonstration, in which the Bayonne People's House will also participate, in order to continue fighting for the official status of the Basque Country and the Gascon.
