EU: Equal rights for Valenciano!
The EU and linguistic minorities

I had to read twice: The European Parliament reproaches Sánchez that Valenciano has the same status and the same right as Catalan to be an official language. (headline on eldebate.com)

When I first read this headline, I understood: Valenciano must have the same rights as Spanish and thought, what has happened now? It is self-evident, and once again there is confusion. Languages have no rights, only humans have rights - to use their own language. Moreover, the government of the Comunidad Valenciana seems to discriminate less against the Spanish-speaking majority than the governments in the other regions with regional languages (Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and the Balearic Islands).¹

Then I realised it was about equal rights for Valenciano and Catalan! What was it about?

What's next?
Exhaustion in the fight against language imposition?

Organised activities against the language imposition in Valencia have been decreasing for months. Hablamos Español has switched to supporting those affected individually in their plight against the continuing extant language impositions of Valencian administrations. The lack of organised activities by opponents of language impositions and unionists has also led to my posts on this blog being reduced.

The language imposition has not ended in Valencia or in other Spanish areas with a regional language. Citizens in such areas are being bullied on a daily basis. Pupils in Valencia are still forced to learn Valenciano against their will and that of their parents. What is the reason for the exhaustion in the fight against this paternalism? And what happens next?

Catalan or Valenciano?
Influence of Catalan NGOs on Valenciano

Donald Trump's cut-off of funds for USAID¹ drew the attention of many to the fraudulent labelling of NGOs, i.e. non-governmental organisations and governmental organisations alike.

Shortly afterwards, this fraud became very clear once again, especially to Germans, through a CDU (conservatives) enquiry, the so-called 551 questions to the Federal Government.

Reason enough to take another look at the Catalan governmental and non-governmental organisations and seek an answer to the question of what is so special about them.

50,53% / 49,47%
A draw or a victory for indoctrination

The question at this „election“ was not: Who should decide on the language of instruction, politicians or parents? Instead, it was Valenciano versus Spanish and the parents were already the losers. But the intention was to distract from this and so it seemed as if languages had fought. El Mundo put it like this: „Valenciano wins by a narrow margin ... only in Alicante does Castilian prevail.“

The organisation Hablamos Español had warned early on about the massive indoctrination: „We have received complaints from families ... whose children came back from school with a booklet whose content was a crude indoctrination aimed at convincing families to choose Valenciano, regardless of their children's mother tongue, using errors and manipulations. It ignored the undeniable benefits of mother-tongue education, as advocated by the United Nations (UN) and recommended by all independent educators ... recommended.“

Given the massive indoctrination and the overwhelming majority¹ of native Spanish speakers in Valencia, the percentage result (50.53% to 49.47%) and the low voter turnout (58.61%) raise some questions. 50.53% of 58.61% equals only 29.6% of 100% of eligible voters, not even a third.

Free choice of languages - really?
Valenciano versus Spanish?

Until yesterday, „elections“ were held in Valencian schools. Before the parliamentary elections, the current government had promised that parents would decide on the language of instruction. As soon as it came to power, the promise was „forgotten“ and a law was passed that stipulates at least 25% Valenciano.

In order to make people forget this fraud, so-called elections have now been held in schools, in which parents are supposed to decide whether their children should receive additional Valenciano lessons.

Unfortunately, this „election“ has often been interpreted as „Valenciano against Spanish“, as can be seen in the so-called social media, but also in the press.¹

Greenland
Separatism in the Light of Geopolitics

There is probably no connection whatsoever between the Catalan and Greenlandic independence movements.

Both have a language problem in common. RT.de reports that six years ago „the Inuit language¹ of Greenland's representatives in the Danish parliament“ was banned „by no longer having interpreters available and all documents being written only in Danish“. Chatgpt.com reports that in October 2024 „there was an incident in which Greenlandic MP Aki-Matilda Høgh-Dam had to leave the podium because she gave her speech exclusively in Greenlandic¹ and refused to translate it into Danish“.

In Greenland itself, the majority speaks Kalaallisut, which has also been the official language since 2009. Danish is the most important second language. The question is, what can Spain learn from this situation?

Peredo Alvaro discovered on his homepage "piratas&emperadores" the myths and impostures of Catalan nationalism.

Here you'll find the translation

an explanation

1980 the Spanish journal "El Periodico" published a secret document about the strategy of the Catalan government. It shows in a frightening way the actual spiritual world of the separatist leaders.

Now it is available in english translation.

The Catalan government exports the conflict into communities with Catalan population, supporting all efforts of the separatists including financial means to destroy Spain.
An important tool is the establishment of a language dictatorship that is not afraid to use the same means as Franco.

In 2017, the teachers' union AMES published a study on school textbooks, as they appeared in Spain and in Catalonia on the same topic. In this study the indoctrination becomes clear, as it describes how Separatists operate. It is now translated into English
