For Pradales, "although social activation is essential, the Euskera needs legislation and legal certainty."

The lehendakari has stressed the need to make a "qualitative leap" towards the future of the Basque Country and, in this context, has expressed the need to establish a new paradigm in the process of normalization, "avoiding confrontation".

The Lehendakari of the Basque Government, Imanol Pradales, has stated that the activation of society is "key" in the process of normalizing the Basque Country, but also requires "legislation and legal certainty".

Pradales has stressed the need to make a "qualitative leap" towards the future of the Basque Country.

He has said that the current situation "has nothing to do" with that of 40 years ago because "society, the way of life of young people, and forms of communication and relationship have changed a lot" and has therefore called for "a coordinated and planned effort to revitalize the Basque language".

In this context, the lehendakari has stressed the need to establish a new paradigm for progress in the normalization process, "avoiding confrontation.""The key is the activation of society, but the Euskera also needs legislation and legal certainty," he has argued.

On the other hand, Ibone Bengoetxea has presented the main contents of the Euskera Strategic Plan, which aims to make a qualitative leap in the knowledge and use of the Basque language.

To this end, nine strategic axes have been identified, including Basque competence, transmission, the world of work, leisure, the digital environment and immigrants, as well as economic resources, the governance model and monitoring mechanisms.
