EH Bildu begins a process aimed at building new language policies with different actors
EH Bildu has launched a process that seeks a shared reading of language policy and articulates the community of the Basque Country. It seeks a "large-scale reaction" to the critical situation of the Basque Country.
Nerea Kortajarena, Secretary of Programs of EH Bildu, and Josu Aztiria, Secretary of Standardization of the Euskera, have presented the details of this initiative to the media.
As they have explained, "the situation that the Euskera has been experiencing for a long time has led the coalition to organise this process." They have stressed that the process of revitalizing the Basque Country and the Basque Country is going through a "critical moment". They have cited the slowdown in use, the disappearance of respiratory areas and the deadlock in linguistic capacity as signs of recession.
In this situation, they believe that continuing with the formulas so far "does not work" and claim that "new language policies are needed. What we need is transformative public policies, new structures that will drive these policies, a new legal shelter for equality at all political scales and the construction of a social and community impulse," said Kortajarena.
Aztiria has explained the three popular challenges proposed by EH Bildu for the Euskera to live "in equality and full rights".
The first, he said, is the need to increase the knowledge and competence of the Basque language and he said that it must be a host language.
Secondly, he has worked to strengthen the Basque language in nearby communities and power centres, mentioning youth leisure, breathing areas and urban areas as areas of work.
Finally, he has stressed the importance of building a new and solid communication, cultural and technological infrastructure. He has focused on promoting a similar infrastructure in the transformative role played by Arantzazu and the unified Euskera in the 20th century.
In view of these challenges, EH Bildu has begun a process that seeks the participation of experts and the entire Basque community.
