The Socialist Party criticizes in a statement that "the exclusion of CCOO's representation is an expression of intolerance that the Euskera does not deserve".

The PSE-EE Executive Committee has decided not to participate in the 24th edition of the Korrika because the organizers of the Korrika have "vetoed" CCOO. 

The CCOO union in the Basque Country has denounced on Wednesday that the organization of Korrika has denied the union leadership its participation in the raceand has denounced the "campaign of social apartheid", which has been portrayed as "enemies of the Euskera" and has called on the Basque parties to respond to it. 

In a statement, the PSE-EE has criticized "the expulsion of CCOO from Korrika as an expression of intolerance that the Euskera does not deserve. "

In his view, "instead of helping to raise awareness of its learning and use and to build consensus around language, it places the initiative in an area far removed from the diversity it promotes."

He has therefore announced that the organizational positions of the PSE-EE will not participate in any of the activities envisaged in the new edition of Korrika"as long as this policy of exclusion is maintained" and has advanced that the party will "assess its future relationship with the organization".

The PSE-EE has stated that in all matters relating to the Basque Country - in society, education, work, legislation... - it will have "a clear position to promote language and respect people's language and labour rights, and in all of them it will promote dialogue, consensus and agreement, rejecting any attempt to appropriate or impose ideology".
