“Buenos Aires Celebrates the Basque Country. BAC” will be on May 6^th, the next big date in the Diaspora, and an important opportunity that some agencies in the Basque Country don’t want to miss to  meet with  the Basque-Argentine Community.  And so besides representation from the governments in both Iruña-Pamplona and Vitoria-Gasteiz, Jasone Agirre, Secretary of the Diaspora for EH Bildu , and references from Gure Esku Dago, Angel Oiarbide and Iñigo Urrutia, have also announced their attendance.

Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Becoming a classic in the capital city, BAC is one of the most anticipated dates for Basques in Buenos Aires, as well as for those in the interior.  Even if the absolute majority of those attending are from Argentina, there are also Basques from Euskal Herria that make the trip to share the special day.

In regards to institutions and to popular movements, among those who have confirmed their attendance is the Director of the Basque Community Abroad, Gorka Alvarez Aranburu; no information is available yet from the Government of Navarre, but the Secretary of the Diaspora of EH Bildu, parliamentarian, Jasone Agirre, as well as representatives from Gure Esku Dago, Angel Oiarbide and Iñigo Urrutia will also attend.

On June 10^th, citizens of the Basque Country are being called to participate in a Human Chain that will unite Donostia, Bilbao and Gasteiz, with the motto “Eman eskua etorkizunari” (Give a hand to the future.)
