The COOFICIAL LANGUAGES They are one of the things more controversial from all over Spain. In our country is the Spanish, the Basque and the Galician and the Galician The Catalan, the one that stands out of the four as the one that controversies and debates generates. These tensions are framed in a broader conflict, where Catalonia has played a key role.
For much of the inhabitants of this community, Catalan is not only a language, but a symbol that is related to identity at the cultural level and resistance in front of those who consider it a social imposition. For several years it was prohibited and subject to various types of restrictions, but In 1978 several linguistic rights were granted and Catalan became co -official language.
Conflict between parties for the uses of Catalan
From that point, they began to promote, gradually, diverse Standardization policies To recover its use In all areas of society, serving as examples schools or administrations. Their effort in educational centers and public entities can be seen as discrimination or lack of respect for those who only speak the official language of Spain, as well as a Violation of the right of families to choose the language they want to speak.
The faithful defenders of this will have been benefited, but also There is a rejection by other sectors, such as citizens themselves or political parties. Those of more national scope may show totally shocking beliefs with respect to the use of Catalan, and there is a case in which A VOX member has offered his opinion regarding this topic.
