The Official Gazette of the Basque Country (BOPV) has published a correction in the issue of August 26, 2026, to rectify a typographical error detected in the Order of the Minister of Security dated July 29, 2026. The error appeared in the Basque version of the provision amending the Order of November 18, 2024, which approves the structure of the Ertzaintza.

The correction refers to the order published in BOPV number 157, on August 19, 2026, specifically the Basque publication on page 2026/3652 (3/1). The error affects the title of the provision itself, which could cause doubts when understanding the content of the publication.

Content of the error

In the Basque title, where the order states «ORDER, of July 29, 2026, of the Minister of Security, amending the Order of November 28, 2024, which approves the structure of the Ertzaintza», it should be read as «Order of November 18, 2024» after correction. That is, the date of the original order was incorrect: November 28 appeared instead of November 18.

Legal basis for the correction

This correction is based on Article 18.2.a) of Decree 217/2008, of December 23, regarding the regulation of the Official Gazette of the Basque Country. That article establishes that pure composition errors occurring in the publication, which alter the content or may cause doubts, shall be corrected ex officio by the General Secretariat of the Government and the Directorate for Relations with Parliament, or at the request of the interested organ or entity.

• Errors may be corrected ex officio, or at the request of interested parties.
• The correction applies to pure composition errors that alter the content or create doubts.
• In this case, the error was detected by the Department of Security itself.

Context of the Ertzaintza structure

The corrected order is a provision amending the Order of November 18, 2024, which approves the structure of the Ertzaintza, via the Order of the Minister of Security of July 29, 2026. The error does not affect the content of the order itself, but rather the date appearing in the title of the Basque version, which could have affected the identification and application of the provision.

The correction does not bring any change to the content of the order, nor to its entry into force; it only corrects the date error contained in the Basque version of the publication to ensure coherence between the texts in both languages.
