The President of the Government of Navarre, María Chivite, has once again defendedthe Basque language as her own language throughout the Foral Community, although she has clarifiedthather proposal does not envisage ending zoning.

He said so on Friday in the parliamentary committee to consider the reform of the Foral Improvement Act, in which he said that it would be appropriate to amend Article 9 of the rule so that the Basque language is the language of Navarre.

Chivite has pointed out that the administration "must have the capacity to care for the citizen in its own language" and, therefore, "even outside the Basque areas, the administration must, at least in part, Euskaldunize, especially through direct attention to the public ".

However, he has qualified that "the sociolinguistic reality of Navarrecannot be denied ", since" although the inhabitants of Navarre have come a long way in the knowledge of the Basque language, at the moment there is not a large majority who know and speak the Basque language, or not at a high level ".

He added that, therefore, with some of the proposals put forward in committee, ' unequal opportunities can arise, which is what we do not want ', and he said that' if this happens, we return to social rejection, not because of the language itself, but because it is understood as an obstacle that discriminates against, rather than as our own heritage that we want to preserve '.
