On Sunday afternoon, hundreds of people gathered in Palma's Plaça Major in defence of Catalan. The call was for Marga Prohens' Partido Popular government to not be intimated by Vox, who are said to be seeking to undermine the Catalan language by eliminating its use from Balearic public life.

33% of the world speak Spanish. Why encumber your children with a language (Mallorquin) that 99.9% of the wold dos'nt understand.
Here's what mad people would do. Require school children to use Catalan in their studies as their first language and impose that language on the island as the first language. Then when those children leave school to look for employment and need to leave the island see how many impressive at their interviews by their language of Catalan. And how many countries they can work in with Catalan as their first language. Which will be...... none.
El català és una llengua limitada, com el gal·lès o el gaèlic. és només per a nadius. En una cultura global és l'espanyol i l'anglès.
