It's not the only elephant in the class.
Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further details, they quickly became angry (to write the article, 76,100 visits), the answers were gathered, the votes (few) and the opposing (many), as well as some insults, and I myself grabbed the hook. Salaburu and his supporters stated that the left avoids this issue, but that the elephant is inside the room. It is possible, but the truth is that immigrants are not the only elephant in the Basque classroom.
First, and by recalling issues that are forgiveness, Castilian is the hegemonic language imposed on social life, by law and by force. The immigrant immediately realizes the elephant hound, as the only valid and necessary language in the host territory is Castilian (the French idem and the tripole).
The immigrant immediately realizes the elephant bell pepper, since the only language that has validity and needs in the host territory is Spanish.
In any case, many of us remind you that there are many new immigrants who are struggling to learn Basque (unlike some advisors from the new Basque Government), but still the obligation to pay does not make it accessible. There is also a lot of work in schools, but a lot of money is needed to generalize the knowledge and use of Euskera. Precisely, the lack of absolute official status, the development of subordinate linguistic policies, the obligation to pay for the learning of the Basque country, the non-Euskaldunization of the educational system or the judicial offensives have caused the majority of the population still not to know the language of their people, and that the Basque country remains a secondary status, even 40 years later. There were clashes and deficiencies before the arrival of the recent immigrants, and they looked like an autonomous elephant.
It is significant that those of us who participated in the debate understood that these were not rich immigrants. Well, only Katixa Agirre realized this contradiction, and that aspect is not the bird, because the speculation of housing, tourism or cultural and economic globalization have a total impact on the minority languages (see “if we cannot live in Basque in Donostia, where?”, EHE; “The tourist massification of Espanyolització”, CUP. Notice, we've stumbled upon the capitalist elephant!
In the Basque classroom there are a lot of elephants and they are screaming.
