EAJ-PNV calls for European legislation to protect diversity & takes French monolingualism to Strasbourg

An appearance in the European Parliament by five communities which are suffering discrimination due to the refusal of France to comply with European standards of respect for linguistic diversity will be used by the Basque National Party (EAJ-PNV) to repeat its call for binding European legislation to guarantee the rights of speakers of non-official languages across Europe. Pako Arizmendi, Chair of the Ipar Buru Batzar, and Izaskun Bilbao Barandica, Deputy Chair of the ALDE Group and a Basque National Party MEP, presented this initiative in Bayonne.
