EHE stage a protest against the fine to a man for speaking Basque

Euskal Herrian Euskaraz (EHE) today held a protest in Bilbo in solidarity of Arkaitz Zarraga. He is a Basque man who in December 2018 spoke in Basque with a policeman. He has been fined with 900 € for defending his language rights. Today the Spanish autonomus police threatened the demonstrators with a show of force.

EHE, Euskal Herrian Euskaraz (Basque in the Basque Country, EHE) association was launched in Durango, Bizkaia under the slogan “Euskararik gabe, Euskal Herririk ez” (Without Basque there is no Basque Country) on November 4, 1979. It is an association that defends the right to live in Basque in the Basque Country. Today, its principal goal is to achieve a Basque-speaking Basque Country made up of polyglot or multilingual people.
