Rahola Accuses Spain's PP of Blocking Catalan in the EU

Catalan Language Under Fire: Rahola Accuses PP of EU-Level Boycott Barcelona, Spain – A recent video by El Nacional.cat features journalist Pilar Rahola accusing the Popular Party (PP) in Catalonia of actively working to undermine the use of the Catalan language within the European Union. Rahola's claims are based on alleged personal calls made by PP officials to influence the EU's stance on Catalan. "The PP has worked actively, even using personal calls from Feijóo, to impede the possibility of speaking Catalan in the European Parliament," Rahola states in the video. She further alleges that the PP's actions represent a clear opposition to the Catalan language and its ten million speakers. The video highlights a significant political and linguistic conflict in Catalonia. Rahola's accusations, if substantiated, could trigger a broader discussion about linguistic rights and political maneuvering within the EU. The PP's response to these allegations will be crucial in clarifying the situation and potentially preventing future conflicts over the use of minority languages within European institutions. The situation underscores the importance of multilingualism and the protection of linguistic diversity within the EU.
