The CUP campaign for the defense of Catalan
The defense of Catalan is one of the fundamental axes of the CUP campaign. Recently, they made public the decalogue ‘Enough cessions, Catalan everywhere’ as a shock plan for the language. This document calls for several measures to guarantee the preservation and promotion of Catalan.
Among the outstanding proposals, a new education law is called for to guarantee widespread linguistic immersion, the creation of a public dubbing and subtitling company, and the creation of a language ministry that prioritizes the fulfillment of linguistic rights and obligations established by law.
Montserrat Vinyets’ visit to the Basque Country
Montserrat Vinyets, number two on the CUP list for the constituency of Girona, has recently visited the Basque Country to learn about successful experiences in the revitalization of the Basque language. During his stay, he met with different language defense organizations and emphasized the importance of sharing knowledge and efforts with other similar linguistic realities.
Vinyets expressed his gratitude for the meetings and affirmed that there is much to learn from the struggle and work for the revitalization of the Basque language. At the same time, he highlighted the problems that are found in Catalonia, such as the lack of involvement and the backward steps of the other parties in the defense of Catalan.
The importance of involvement and open debate
According to Vinyets, one of the main problems is the lack of involvement in the defense of Catalan. He has criticized the lukewarmness and backward steps of the other parties, as well as the institutional co-foism in which they have settled. He emphasized the importance of reversing this situation with political courage and an open and honest debate with experts and the educational community.
The reform of the LEC, which consolidated by law the vehicularity of Spanish, has been a point of controversy for the CUP, which opposed it. Vinyets defends the need to reverse this reform and guarantee an effective linguistic immersion in Catalan.
The struggle for language and its learning
Vinyets emphasized that the fight for the language is a constant task and that there is much to learn from the experiences of other linguistic communities, such as the Basque Country. He stressed the importance of sharing knowledge and efforts to face the difficulties and challenges presented in the defense of Catalan.
In short, the defense of Catalan and its revitalization are fundamental issues for the CUP. The political training campaign emphasizes the preservation and promotion of Catalan, and highlights the importance of involvement, open debate and learning from the experiences of other language communities.
