The Government is "very concerned" about the annulment of several articles that prioritize the Basque language in municipalities
According to spokeswoman Maria Ubarretxena, what worries the Basque Government most is "to start judicializing political decisions", especially in the field of the Basque Country. It also seems to her that the "social pact" that existed between the various political parties with regard to the Basque Country has been "broken".
The Basque Government expresses its "deep concern" that the Supreme Court has invalidated several articles that prioritize the Basque language in local institutions . In practice, it has almost disqualified the municipalities of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa from prioritizing the Basque language.
Spokeswoman Maria Ubarretxena made an initial assessment on behalf of the Basque Government the day after the verdict against the Euskera.
In an interview with Euskadi Irratia this Thursday, he explained that, as a government, "what worries us is to start judicializing political decisions."
Reactions
The Basque Council of Culture has denounced that the ruling of theSupreme Court "goes not only against the normalization of the Basque Country, but also against the will of Basque society and the institutions".
The PNVspokesman in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, has expressed his "sadness" at the "new attack on the Euskera". In statements to Radio Euskadi yesterday, Díez Antxustegi recalled that this decision of the Justice "arises from the extreme right on an issue that has generated consensus between the Basque parties, the law of local institutions."
In the words of EH Bildu'sSecretary General, Arnaldo Otegi, "the nostalgic people of the old regime and the courts in their service are dedicated to the Euskara."
