THE LANGUAGES OF HUARTE

Nowadays many languages are spoken in Huarte. In this globalized society, Spanish, Basque, French, English, Romanian, Russian, Wolof, Arabic, Aimara… are communicational tools between the families in Huarte, and a huge cultural richness for our village. Right now, Huarte has two languages of its own: Spanish and Basque.

The Spanish is the most used language in the village. You will hear it and learn it everywhere. Anyway, if someone in your environment had difficulties to understand or express in a spoken or written way, just get in touch with the Social Services (3rd floor in the City Hall), and there you will find information about where you can get free lessons of Spanish. Basque is the vernacular language, nevertheless the discrimination against it in education, administration, the media, etc. turned it into a minority. But that doesn’t mean it is less than the other. The City Council has carried, and still carries great efforts to promote the Basque and to offer the people
who speak it the same linguistic rights.
A big part of the population believes that the Basque language can be and must be recovered. There are many families that register their children in the Basque educational model (both at the Municipal Pre-School and at the “Virgen Blanca” Public
School, the registration in the Basque models is around the 70%). In addition, some adult people fancy learning Basque language (joining the public Basque academy Zubiarte or other institutions). Children also have more and more chances to use Basque language out of the school: the toy library, workshops,
television, theatres, movies…

THE IMPORTANCE OF REGISTERING

WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION?

The municipal census is the administrational register where all the inhabitants that usually live in the village appear. Your data prove your residence in the village. According to the law, every person has the obligation to be registered in the city or village in which he or she resides.

WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION USEFUL FOR?

The registration will be the document that will prove the time of permanence in the village, regardless of your nationality or legal situation, which means, whether you have or not residence or even if it is process. The registration on the census proves that you are an inhabitant of that village. To execute
the registration you will need to establish a residence, but it isn’t necessary you to own it, it can be a rent house, or a relative’s or friend’s house (with the signed authorization of the owner of the house).
It is advisable to do the registration as soon as you move from another country. The inscription is done in the City Hall. Come by and we will explain you with detail the documentation required.

It is a really simple procedure, and you will be asked for this document to:

  • Apply for regularization or both work and residence license.
  • Request of the card for medical care.
  • It will be demanded to make the exchange of the driving license.
  • In case of your birth country having an agreement with Spain.
  • It is indispensable to make the school inscriptions for your children and every
    other necessary procedure for foreigners.

One of the main reasons to make the inscription in the municipal census is that this inscription is the prove of settling to get the permanent documents and also to get to the municipal benefits, such as social assistance. Don’t forget to discharge yourself in case of
changing your residence country or going back to your country, by going the City Hall.

CAN I REGISTER EVEN IF I DON’T HAVE MY PAPERS?

If you are in an irregular situation, don’t be afraid to register in the City Council of your village or town. The census is a register of the people residing in a municipal area and therefore it isn’t a way of controlling the legal situation of the people living in that village
