The debate in the European Parliament
The recent discussion in the European Parliament about linguistic immersion in Catalonia has generated great controversy. The Popular Party (PP) has led an offensive against this policy, which has caused a wave of indignation in the region
During the debate, Carles Puigdemont, Catalan president in exile, expressed his discontent with the PP, with whom he has maintained an open confrontation since he was accused of his alleged involvement in the Russian plot of the Process. Puigdemont has stated that Spain has a serious problem in the persecution against Catalonia and has cited UN reports that support this statement.
The position of Together and Free for Europe
The parliamentary group Together and Free for Europe, to which Puigdemont belongs, has also denounced the situation experienced in the European Parliament. They have accused the Catalan MEP of the PP, Dolors Montserrat, of putting the committee at the service of the interests of Spanish nationalism
In addition, they have criticized the three-day mission organized by the popular in Catalonia to analyze linguistic immersion. This visit has been controversial, since it has not had the support of the progressive groups of the European Parliament and the impartiality of the conclusions presented has been questioned.
The criticism of Dolors Montserrat
Toni Comín, also a MEP from Junts i Liures per Europa, has charged against Dolors Montserrat, president of the Petitions Committee. Comín has regretted the treatment received by the MEPs and has described the situation as a spectacle. According to him, Montserrat refused to give more time to review the report and has sparked a verbal battle in the committee.
The debate on linguistic immersion
The debate about linguistic immersion in Catalonia is not new. In the past, the Petitions Committee organized a debate in which no experts or advocates of the immersion system were invited. This lack of impartiality has been denounced by the Generalitat
Linguistic immersion is a sensitive issue in Catalonia and has generated divisions in society. While some defend its importance in preserving the Catalan language and culture, others argue that it limits freedom of choice and makes it difficult for students to integrate into the educational system.
In conclusion, the debate on linguistic immersion in Catalonia has generated great controversy. The PP has led an offensive against this policy, which has caused outrage in the region. Junts i Liures per Europa has denounced the situation experienced in the European Parliament and has criticized the mission organized by the Popular Party in Catalonia. The debate on linguistic immersion is a sensitive issue that has generated divisions in Catalan society
