Yesterday it was an emotion festival for the Basque Country, but above all for the head of the Korrika, Ane Elordi. He has made a rapid assessment of the Korrika in the Basque Country. “AEK needs Korrika, but the Basque also needs Korrika,” said Elordi, and stressed that this year’s one was “that of the union”: “In the Korrika there have been many agents, each with their fields and opinions, all of them united by the Basque.”

“We’ve noticed that at times less crowded there have been more people and more people coming together.” Thus, he thanked those who have travelled solitary miles. Although it has not given any quantities, it seems, 22. They think it's gotten past running, with more protection, with more people.

“We are proud ... OK!”, Elordi claimed that the language policy for the Basque country to reach the whole of society must reach the whole of society, “a strong language policy” and not “an envelope of brilliance”. As Garazi Arrula pointed out, he recalled that besides being a great festival Korrika, the base is the defense of the Basque Country, that it must be very present and that the Basque country needs “courageous linguistic policies” because “the universalization of knowledge must be guaranteed”.

“The Basque washing service concerns us, now we have to act beyond eleven days,” said Elordi. “We must continue to work with these agents and continue to create ways of working when Korrika is not and joy does not unite us.”

Some comments were made in Baiona, but Elordi has focused on the fact that the Basques have the “right to live proud in Basque”. “There is a whole world in Basque, we have to open the doors, we have to give the opportunity to those who know but do not know to learn and gratuity is necessary to learn Basque.” As Garazi Arrulak stated in his message: “Korrika is a Gose people.”
