Complaint by a parent
"I find it embarrassing and worrying that there are no vasco-speaking professionals at the children's psychiatric hospital in Gipuzkoa"
- The Behatokia Linguistic Rights Observatory has disseminated the testimony of a father and a mother who have declared themselves Euskaldunes. Her daughter has been taken to the Arantzazu children's psychiatric hospital in Donostia, where she has denounced that there is no Basque doctor in the centre. "It is regrettable that you cannot communicate in Basque with those who care for you beyond the suffering of your daughter" and "a new violation of linguistic rights with this government".

The daughter had to be hospitalized with serious illness on 26 January, according to the same source. According to the father, the psychologists and psychiatrists who have to take care of him are Castellanoparlantes and have denounced that the daughter, who is a vasco-speaker, has difficulty explaining her situation in Spanish.
Here is the tough denunciation that this citizen has made through the Akuilari application.
