Spanish Supreme Court rejects appeals written in Catalan
A simple question of procedure
The Spanish Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Marc Belzunces written in Catalan. Mr. Belzunces is now studying the possibility of an appeal to the Constitutional Court, considering this is a “case of linguistic discrimination against Catalan speakers in the Spanish courts”. This could be the first case ever of this kind that is brought up to the Constitutional Court.
Artur Mas, premier of Catalonia, talked last monday in an article in Financial Times about "divorce" between Catalonia and Spain if the central government were to refuse the new economic deal that is demanded from Catalonia. “So our project in the short term is fiscal sovereignty ... In the longer term, we’ll see” he said."
This is probably the most relevant fact in recent Catalan history and showed an overwhelming unitary Catalan feeling among people. However, Spanish people gave lukewarm importace to this facts, since the Spanish soccer team won the world championship the very same day.
By the way, your summary is synthetic and very well explained.It tells exactly the same facts I've been learning at school. It's awesome to hear it from an American too! ;) I'm looking forward to seeing more vids.Visca Catalunya!
Catalunya was recognized as a "nation" in 2005 as you said, but the spanish right party (Partido Popular) challenged that recognition and was debated until 2010 at the spanish Tribunal Constitucional, which eventually defined Catalonia as a "nationality" (a more ambiguous word),not as a "nation".Most Catalans strongly disagreed with it and caused a massive demonstration in the streets of Barcelona in July, 10th. Most sources claim there were between 1.2 and 1.5 million people (including me :D).
The recent history of Catalonia has been really painful. Since 1714, Spain has tried over and over again to supress and destroy Catalonian identity and culture, with the goal to homogenize the "Spanish culture" under a single language and single nation. The last attempt was performed by Franco during his dictatorship from 1939 to 1975. During this period, speaking in Catalan in the street was strictly forbidden and punished.
Today, after about 30 years of democracy, Catalan people are allowed to freely use their language (not in all situations though), but Spanish laws still keep looking for homogenizing language and national identity.
It's important to know that Franco wasn't against the Catalan nationalism, but directly against the Catalans, which changes everyhing and defines those acts as purely xenophobics. As you said, language was banned, but it was banned even from the streets, not just in political buildings. Police would fine anyone who spoke catalan on the street, even during Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, which is what happened even to Antoni Gaudí, one of Catalonia's most known architects, in 1924.
