The Basque Government has issued an order guaranteeing the "maintenance of essential service" in school canteens in the face of the strike called by the LAB and ELA unions for 10, 11 and 12 March. The aim of this measure is "to ensure that no minor is neglected while at the same time preserving the right of workers to strike".

The new Foral Decree on Coexistence also provides for the expulsion of pupils from school in serious cases of ill-treatment or violence. The measure aims to protect victims and ensure their emotional well-being .

The observers will stop on 10, 11 and 12 March because "no progress has been made" in the negotiations, according to the unions. The companies have assured that they have already accepted the main demands of the collective.

The Education Counsellor has asked that, after three days of strike last week by school canteen workers to demand an improvement in their working conditions, the previous situation should not be repeated after being called for 10, 11 and 12 March, because in some schools, students were deprived of food taken from their homes. Pedrosa has asked unions and companies "not to rise from the table" until an agreement has been reached, because they have a "good basis" for it.

The head of Education of ELA, Mira Zubizarreta, has recalled that the agreement of February 2024 came after 14 days of strike and that, at present, some of the "relevant contents" that were signed in that agreement "are not being complied with by the employers".

The union has denounced the failure of employers to comply with the agreement they signed in 2024 to end the strike.

The "good" attitude of Minister Geffray has been highlighted by the representatives of the Euskera Public Organization and the Basque elected members of the Assembly who have met with him, but Seaska has lamented that they have returned "empty-handed", considering that action is needed beyond their intentions, and has announced mobilizations by the end of the month.

The amendments, which Sanchez has included in the reshuffle of the Spanish Government, are aimed at gaining strength in the final part of the legislature.

The students of Hego Euskal Herria have joined the day of strike called by Ikama, with massive demonstrations in Pamplona, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastián. Euskara is suffering a judicial and political onslaught and the current educational model despises the Euskera.
