Far from putting pressure on the PSOE and warning it that the negotiation for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez is becoming complicated, or from considering that the Catalan’s commitment to the EU is delayed, Junts per Catalunya stated this Tuesday that today is a “historic day” because “Catalan is much closer to being an official language in the EU”, given that “no member state has formally opposed” it. A historic day, they point out.
The ‘expresident’ Carles Puigdemont He celebrated that no State has vetoed the official status of Catalan in the European Union, although he has warned that the step taken today “is not enough”: “The Spanish State has work pending and knows that it has to do it diligently.”
In a video message distributed through of the EU “had been favorable” to officialdom.
The EU has held the first debate on the issue, but has postponed the possible approval of the official status of the languages until later, given the legal, financial and practical doubts that have been raised by a large majority of countries, regarding a decision that requires unanimity. .
In the video distributed on social networks, Puigdemont also thanked the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, for his “work” and his “interest in knowing the arguments” in favor of the official status of Catalan in the Union.
Junts does the opposite of considering that payment “in advance” of the PSOE for the negotiation of the Congress Board has not been made effective. The independence party sees the glass as half full despite the reluctance of different countries for economic, political, administrative and legal reasons to make Catalan, Basque and Galician official in community institutions.
Now we have confirmed that Spain is not able to escort Europe as much as it was affirmed @sanchezcastejon. It is certain, however, that we have arrived so rainy and that so many EU countries have shown favorable results, and they are very pleasant.

The leader of the independence party in Congress, Miriam Nogueras, has defended that his party has managed to elevate the debate and place it “at the highest European levels.” “We have just heard the minister [Albares] “to whom we also recognize the effort that has been made, which definitively starts the process of the official status of Catalan in the EU,” he said. Some extraordinarily kind words from the deputy regarding a member of the Government of the coalition between the PSOE and Podemos , after a stage of constant dialectical combat by JxCat against the Executive in the previous legislature.
“We will see what the capacity of the PSOE is to comply with the agreements it reaches, we asked that a letter be made, that the request be made and that in this meeting today of the general affairs council of the EU this issue could be raised on the table,” he added Nogueras.
Now for Junts that the official status is applied “gradually”, in the words of the pro-independence deputy, is not a reason for criticism but for congratulations. “We have reached where we have never been before,” he insisted, demonstrating that the reading of JxCat is favorable and that, therefore, the doubts and delays generated by the Catalan official status will not initially be an extra obstacle in the negotiations with the socialists.
And the referendum?
Already from inside the chamber, Nogueras has defended that thanks to Junts’ “distrust” of the PSOE, something “impossible” has been unlocked such as the use of Catalan in Congress and has stated that on this “unstoppable” path towards freedom The right to self-determination will be discussed “in a few weeks”. “We want facts, not words,” she insisted, recalling Junts’ mantra of “getting paid in advance.”

Nogueras has stressed that it would be unfair not to emphasize that not only can Catalan be spoken in Congress “but that we have the right to do so.” A right “that we have always had and that had not been respected, such as the right to self-determination, but we will talk about this in a few weeks,” he has advanced.
After celebrating the “bravery” of the president of Congress for facilitating the use of co-official languages to prosper, the parliamentarian has inquired that this is not about fit, parties or reunion, but about the country, the nation and the mentality of State: “It is about a relationship of equals, the freedom of our country and not giving up any of the paths to achieve it,” he concluded.
