The representatives of the French Government first appeared at the San Juan de Luz Inspection Centre. There, students, teachers and parents gathered to reclaim the right to make the Basque language. Subsequently, they have been taken to all the centres of Hazparne and Maule, which have been transferred to the Burgese capital.

Brebeta is the end of school test. Of the three sections, two can be done in Basque according to the law, but not as far as science is concerned. However, they have decided to do so in Basque. There was a similar situation last year as in the previous edition. The representatives of the Ministry then took to Pau the examinations of the 180 students who were examined in the country.

The Basque country, patrimony or "rest"?

School director Piarres Larzabal of Ziburu, Edurne Manterola, has denounced that the decision is political, as the tests were corrected two years ago. Larzabal College has spoken on Twitter: "Today's bad news: copies of the science of our break students have been kidnapped and transferred to Bordeaux. And they will not be directed by a Basque professor... instead of being treated as patrimony, as the rest..."

Parents, students and teachers have focused on the incident. They have also called for afternoon mobilizations
