This was explained by the Minister of Culture and Language Policy on Radio Euskadi in connection with the study published by the UEMA, which ensures that there is no decline in the consumption of Basque by the young population.
Euskaraz irakurri: Zupiria: “Ikus-entzunezko edukien eskaintza izugarria da, eta zaila da euskarazko produkturik aurkitzea”
A study published a few days ago by the Association of Basque Municipalities (UEMA) explained that most of the audiovisual content consumed by the younger population is in Spanish, making the use of Basque a setback. The spokesman of the Basque government and Minister of Culture and Language Policy, Bingen Zupiriastressed that it is “very difficult for young people to consume something that does not exist”, explaining that the content that exists in Basque in the digital world and on consumer platforms is not much, “or it is difficult to find “.
He said this in an interview on Thursday in Radio Victoria, to ensure that the challenge for the coming years will be to get more audiovisual products in Basque and make them more visible. To do this, it has progressed that, little by little and with the talent present in Euskadi, with institutional support, more content will be created.
On the other hand, regarding the sentences that declare as discriminatory, B2 profile requirement of Euskera to access the interim bag of the local police in Euskadi, Zupiria, it will be the Basque government that will appeal that verdict, “and it is already being drafted”.
In this sense, he recalled that the Basque institutions “have always tried to act with legal certainty”, and that in Euskadi there are two basic points: “On the one hand, the Spanish Constitution says that all the languages of the territory are common heritage and that we are obliged to protect them; and on the other hand, the language standardization law in Euskadi stipulates that every citizen can choose the language he wants to use in administrations. And that is the way we should work”.
