Aitor Esteban: "I was surprised that the last message from Korrika came from seven young people closely linked to the world of Bildu."

The president of the PNV EBB, Aitor Esteban, has expressed his satisfaction at the strong support for this year's edition of Korrika , but has criticized the closing act.

"I was surprised that the last message of the Korrika was made by seven young people closely linked to acronyms, linked to the world of Bildu and not seven young people representing the plurality of our people, which surprised me, partly because it goes against the wishes expressed by the organization itself, "he said.

However, Esteban has stressed that "Euskadi is with its language, the Basque language "and has advocated avoiding controversy over the Basque language.

"The Euskera has to be out ofcontroversy, out of confrontation, if we really want it to have a future. And there, I think people have responded a lot across the country, and most of those who have taken to the streets have come out without a specific color, which is positive and satisfying, "he said.

Agreement on Euskera in the Administration

The jeltzale leader also believes that it will be possible to reach an agreement with the PSE on the weight of the Euskera in public calls. In his view, everyone must be "convinced" that it is necessary to "provide legal certainty about all the OPEs that are being annulled" in the face of the "surprising attitude" of some courts.

"So far there has been no controversy about the application of the law and the way in which the models are interpreted, but it is clear that an area of instability has been opened up from the point of view of case law, which is not in anyone's interest, either with a lower level of Euskera or with a higher level, "he explained.

It therefore believes that priority should be given to "providing legal certainty" to the Basque Country.

De Andrés replies

Meanwhile, the president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, has criticized that the Korrika has developed "from beginning to end" as "astring of messages from the radical independence left. "

In his view, this situation "happens everywhere"whenthe left abertzale "takes over public space" and has reproached the PNV and the PSE for "not confronting" it.
