Madrid's President Shares Basque Tv Sketch on 'Swear Word Language' to Promote Tolerance

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, shared an old sketch from the Basque TV program 'Vaya Semanita' on social media. The sketch, created in December 2008, humorously presents a third language spoken in the Basque Country: swear words. Ayuso used the sketch to advocate for more tolerance, lamenting the loss of humor in communication due to fanaticism. \The sketch features actors from the early days of the Euskal Telebista program. They demonstrate how people can communicate using only swear words. A fictional report includes a linguistic policy advisor who proudly announces the incorporation of this 'swear word language' as the third official language in public administration.\An expert in the sketch claims this language is as old as Basque itself. He says it has changed little over time, consisting solely of swear words. The sketch concludes by calling it a cultural treasure that must be preserved, ending with a Basque greeting followed by a swear word.
