The Supreme Court has rejected the appeal lodged by the Basque Government against the ruling of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country and has annulled some of the articles of Decree 179/2019 on the guarantee of the linguistic rights of Euskaldunes.

The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has received the President, Imanol Pradales, at the Palacio de la Moncloa, who has addressed the outstanding competences of the Bilateral Commission, the officiality of the Basque Country in Europe, the Atlantic macroregion, the electricity capacity of the Basque industry and migration.

Laura Vela-Plo, Marina Ortega-Andres eta Marta De Pedis ikerlariek osatutako taldeak “erresistentzia” ugari hauteman dituzte eta baliogabe utzi, hizkuntza inklusiboaren erabilera baztertzen erabiltzen diren “aitzakiak”.

Philosopher, essayist and intellectual reference for several generations, the work of Joxe Azurmendi has marked the critical thinking of the Basque Country for more than half a century. Azurmendi has left an immense legacy in the Basque Country, in the ideas... and in the understanding of the people.

Born in Zegama, Azurmendi has been an active member of the Jakin group since the magazine was founded for the second time after Franco's ban and collaborated with other institutions in the normalization, culture and pacification of the Basque Country.

Jakin  highlights that "you have left us a great thought. We will continue to work on it, as you have always asked of us, without deifying you (or anyone), but recognizing teachers." This historical journal stresses that Azurmendi's thinking was fundamental to the renewal and promotion of the Basque Euskera and Basque culture in the 1960s and 1970s.

Amaia Izpizua, promoter of Get In, has translated into Basque five songs that Bruce Springsteen has played in Anoeta. "These are songs that speak of freedom and are contrary to the line that the Trump administration is taking," Izpizua said. 

Moreover, the language will not alter the tightening of the BAME exam, as Minister Monica Garcia said in the Congressional Health Committee.

The member of the Basque Country Buru Batzar, Markel Olano, has told the Socialist Party that there is no clash between labour rights and linguistic rights, that both must be defended. He has also said that they will study EH Bildu's proposal. In any case, he has accused the members of the abertzale coalition of not being patient.

The lehendakari has stressed the need to make a "qualitative leap" towards the future of the Basque Country and, in this context, has expressed the need to establish a new paradigm in the process of normalization, "avoiding confrontation".

Jeltzal sources have advanced that the PNV will move forward alone and will try to amend the Public Employment Act to ensure Euskera requirements.

32.8% of the cultural events scheduled in 2024 were entirely in Basque and 13.1% were bilingual along with Spanish or other languages.

2024an programatutako kultur ekitaldien % 32,8 euskara hutsean izan ziren, eta % 13,1 elebidunak, gaztelaniarekin edo beste hizkuntza batekin batera.

The PP spokeswoman at the General Meetings of Gipuzkoa says she is "ashamed" because "freedom is also the use of the official language." Isabel Díaz Ayuso left the conference of presidents when President Pradales began speaking in Basque.
