But looks around a lot…
It does not do nothing, but looks around a lot…
There is a complex and continuous attack to the Spanish (both people and language) by the nationalists in Spain. A complex attack on different directios: from the north, from the west, from the east, etc. An attack that, although, apparently, is not coordinated, it is indeed.
Yesterday there is an initiative from the Basque Autonomic government that imposes the shops and point of sales to talk in Euskera (that is, the basque language). Another attack to the freedom. The excuse is that it is necessary to defend the Euskera from the Spanish. But this is false. It is only victimism. The only politic that the Basque Autonomic government is doing is imposing the Euskera to the Basque population, relegating to a background the Spanish language. There was before an initiative to put on a higher level, for the doctors, the knowlegde of Euskera rather to the medicine-related knowledge. So… what is the point here? The point is to differentiate, to sow (that is exactly what the Basque Autonomic region is doing from the very beginning of the democracy in Spain) the nationalism, the difference, in order to collect or gather later on, but as soon as possible.
It is clear for example on the reaction of Mr. Pujol, former president of the Catalonian Autonomic Region, to the Manifest to Support the Spanish Language. Mr. Pujol says that “the pretension is to snatch Catalonua every possibility of acting as a colectivity, every access to the collective rights”. Well, Mr. Pujol was the impeller of the differentiation and the imposition of the Catalonian on the Spanish. He was who promoted the regional laws and initiatives to discriminate the Catalonian. What “collective rights” are Mr. Pujol referring to? The collective rights of the Spanish?
And, on the meantime, Mr. Zapatero is hiding the head on a hole. Mr. Zapatero and his government denies the problem (as Mrs. De La Vega did). While the Catalonian, the Basque, the Balearic and the Galician autonomic governments are constantly violating the Spanish, Mr. Zapatero is doing nothing. It is like the Spanish joke: he does not do nothing, but looks around a lot…
