“Compared to other languages with a similar demographic weight, Catalan is the most unprotected language in Europe”
“Most of the discrimination cases involve Spanish government bodies and are neither investigated nor prosecuted” #TheCatalanLanguage
“Both the UK and Germany have more than 20 universities that offer Catalan courses. Spain, outside of Catalan-speaking areas, only 8.” #TheCatalanLanguage
“Catalan is the 13th most spoken language in the EuropeanUnion among 15–34-year-olds, which places it above official EU languages such as Danish, Finnish, Slovakian, Croatian, Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian,
Slovenian, Maltese, Irish…”
“Of the top eight social networks, only @Instagram and @LinkedIn, the jobbased network, are yet to launch a Catalan version, thus proving the viability and need for a Catalan-language version of these sites.”
“The Spanish Constitution… makes Catalan redundant even in its own territory, so immigrants do not need to learn it, and justifies the State operating solely in Castilian and passing interventionist legislation on its behalf.”
Un entrevista interessant, @lluis_llach, i m’agraden els plans per la mobilització i per comunicar els efectes de la dependència, però… 1/2 vilaweb.cat/noticies/lluis…
… aquesta frase em torna a un dubte profund i dolorós: com tirem endavant amb fe quan no sabem per què no vau cumplir el que vau prometre? _Quan_ vas ser partidari de l’exili? I per què no erets partidari de declarar i fer efectiva la independencia que havíem votat? @lluis_llach
No em sap greu admetre que jo hi creia totalment en el president i en tots vosaltres 72 diputats. I en la nostra lluita. Gràcies a aquestes creences, i també les vostres promeses de fer efectius els resultats del referéndum, no només em vaig arriscar a mi mateixa…

“Are you overwhelmed? Well, now add an iron door that squeaks every time they close you in, old, gray walls, a tiny little window where you can only see a barbed wire covered wall, and you won't be home. You'll be in Alcalà-Meco jail.”

I know this @Guardian article will be well received in Catalonia (ooh, a UK paper says we should have free elections!) but it is hopelessly misinformed. Let me count the ways... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
There has been absolutely NO credible offer from Spain in the last ten years for a fair deal for Catalonia. Promising is not doing. Not even signed agreements and budgeted items are respected.
OMG, @Guardian, nothing says "flexibility" like refraining from closing down Catalan TV and radio. Spain's PP is using Article 155 to impose its own party policy, despite representing only 8.5% of the vote. #Notdemocracy
