The Basque Governmentwill hold a meeting with the leaders of the AEKto assess the 24th edition of the Korrika. At the hearing following the Governing Council, the first Vice-President and Counsellor for Culture and Linguistic Policy, Ibone Bengoetxea, has announced that they will do "what belongs to an institution: we will hold an evaluation meeting with the leaders of the Korrika, as we usually do at any event in which the Government is involved."
During the hearing, Bengoetxea also referred to the request made by the Fernando Buesa Foundation and the Covite Association , both groups today called for the cancellation of the grants granted by the institutions to the Korrika for showing images of ETA prisoners, images which, according to the counsellor, are "painful to society as a whole, not just to the victims".
He reiterates that Korrika must be "a meeting point for all those who support the Euskera" and that "bridges must be built ". In his words," attitudes and decisions are needed to attract citizens to the Euskera, not walls ".
Request from Fernando Buesa and the Covite Foundation
The Fernando Buesa Foundation and Covite have asked the institutions to withdraw the grants to the Korrika because, they say, "38 images of ETA members" have been shown in the race for the Euskera.
In a statement, the two associations have denounced that the initiative organized by AEK has been used as a "showcase for the legitimization of terrorism", ignoring the "objective of claiming the use of the Basque language".
