Euskara

In protest at what has happened with the Euskera test at the USaP test and the decisions that have followed, Kontseilua has convened rallies on the three ACV campuses next Friday under themotto Justicia para la euskera, euskera para todos .

Iñaki Picaza, lawyer for the students who have appealed for the low grades of the University Entrance Test (USaP)  in the Basque language exam, has pointed out that the young people have appealed because it is a little suspicious to get a 0.

The rector of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Joxe Ramón Bengoetxea, has stated that the precautionary measures taken in favour of the students who appealed for the Basque examination are a headache for the university.  "We are looking for a formula that is not a privilege for the students who have appealed", he said.

Several administrative courts in Bilbao have considered the appeals filed by several families of young people who obtained zero and will send a letter to the UPV/EHU not to take into account the zeros obtained in the Euskera exam on average.  Tomorrow the pre-enrollment deadline opens.

The spokesman for the PNV in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Díez Antxustegi, who has attended the Faktoria programme of Euskadi Irratia, has explained the terms of the agreement to give legal certainty to the Euskera in the Administration and has said that they have reached an agreement with EH Bildu to amend the Public Employment Act, leaving aside its partner PSE, because the Euskera is a central issue for the PNV.

The discovery has been made by the Aranzadi Science Society in the Vascones camp in Irulegi (Aranguren Valley, Navarre). The inscription "Abar" has been found in a storage tank in the same house where the Hand of Irulegi appeared and is believed to refer to number ten. 

The amendment to the Basque Public Employment Act, promoted by the PNV, seeks to strengthen the legal certainty of linguistic profiles. The text has been passed with the support of the PNV and the abstention of EH Bildu, while the PSE, a partner of the PNV in the Basque Government, has voted against.

EH Bildu will abstain tomorrow, Thursday, in the Basque Parliament, thus allowing the amendment of the law promoted by the PNV to be approved, and both groups have also agreed to jointly monitor its implementation and effectiveness.

The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, sees the negotiation between the PNV and EH Bildu to reach an agreement on a law regulating Basque profiles in public employment, which will be voted on in the Basque Parliament on 25 June.

Dozens of students disagree with the results of the USaP Euskera exam and, together with teachers, have today called outside the Faculty of Engineering in Bilbao for a solution to the situation.

Under the motto "Taupadak berpiztu!", Aresketa Ikastola has organized a multitudinary party full of music, culture and activities for all ages. With the good weather, they want to value the Euskera and the work of the ikastolas of Álava in today's appointment.

At 5 p.m. three columns will be launched from three different points of the city, each of which will carry a message: to demand the full officiality of the Basque language, to demand the need to make the leap in linguistic policies, and to emphasize the Basque language.

The General Secretary of the Basque PP, Esther Martinez, has announced that her party will ask for explanations for the number of zero in the Basque language exams in the USaP, most of which have been held by students from concerted schools, model A and some courts.

At the end of selectivity in Hego Euskal Herria, Iparralde started the lower test today. Seaska's first year students have carried out an act of disobedience and have officially conducted the math test in French in Basque.

The Presidents of the 115 Ikastolas of Euskal Herria have held a massive hearing this afternoon in Hernani (Gipuzkoa) to assess the issues that have arisen in recent times and to enhancethe value of the collective response given. The event was attended by  Oier Sanjurjo, President of the Federation of Ikastolas of Navarra, Erik Etxart , President of Seaska, and Nekane Artola.

They also point out that they will be 'strong and enthusiastic' in the face of recent obstacles in favour of 'an education in Basque'.

• The case of Lodosa: the attempt by the Government of Navarre to withdraw the Covenant on Early Childhood Education from the ikastola Ibaialde and the support of the region.

• The battle of the bass: the commitment shown by students and agents in the French Basque Country to be able to take the exams in Basque.

The lehendakari has advocated political stability and cooperation to move the Basque Country forward: it has called for the closure of outstanding transfers before July and has warned that alleged cases of corruption cannot be an excuse to stop governing.

EH Bildu's General Coordinator, Arnaldo Otegi, has said that they wanted to "buy time" so that they could continue to negotiate on the Euskera law. On corruption cases in Spain, he has said that "we must fight without hesitation", but, in his opinion, the operations basically respond to a political objective: "this PSOE" and destroy the left-wing alliance formed by Pedro Sánchez.

"The lack of agreement is not an option. Both the Basque Country and the Public Employment Act require broad agreements and consensus. It is time to take firm steps in the legal status of the Basque Country and move forward on equal rights," the coalition said.
