'Alderdi eguna' - One for the nationalist to do list?
‘ALDERDI EGUNA - ONE FOR THE NATIONALIST TO DO LIST?
On Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 September the basque nationalist party (Eaj-Gnp) organizes each year the ‘alderdi eguna’ or day of the party during which it regularly invites political parties from other colonized nations in struggle for their self-determination.
The ‘alderdi eguna’ takes place on Saturday in the northern basque country and on Sunday in the south basque country This year the party of the occitane nationalists (P.N.O.) which spans France and Italy was one of the guests.
Perhaps Mec Vannin should include it in the diary for 2019. Mec Vannin chair Mark Kermode was much exercised in his Celtic League role years ago in cooperating in the drafting (mainly in Catalonia) of the ‘Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights along with many regional and separatist bodies. Also Mec Vannins International Relations Officer, Allen Moore, is often in the Basque Country (south) and is coincidentally holidaying there at present.
Definitely one for the Manx nationalist ‘to do’ list in future years!
