After running hundreds of KM along all the basque country, the Korrika ended yesterday in Baiona (Lapurdi north basque country). Thousands of people participated in the end of the Korrika and the festival that was organized after it. The Korrika made this year more than 2.000 KM along the basque country claiming for basque language rights. Tens of thousands participated in it: Childs, workers, unemployed, organizations, associations, former prisoners, teachers, lawyers etc.
The last KM was made by AEK (the organization that organizes korrika and teaches basque to adults) members. Amets Arzallus (a "bertsolari") read the message that was inside the baton. According to Amets Arzallus, the primary language is the language that creates thinking: "We will thing in basque or we will not be".
