The Second Vice President of the Central Government, Yolanda Díaz, has shown this Friday in Oviedo her support for the Statute of Autonomy of Asturias to collect the official status of Asturian, as it is an “absolutely peaceful and inclusive” legal framework.
This has been indicated in statements to the media before maintaining a meeting with 40 people from the Asturian labor sectors, within your round of contacts to present at the region the project Add, and after visiting the headquarters of the Academy of the Asturian Language, where he learned about the institution’s work and met with its president, Xosé Antón González Riaño, and its secretary, Xosé Ramón Iglesias Cueva.
Asked if that visit was a sign of his support for the official status of the Asturian, Díaz explained that in Sumar they defend “a country that is plural, culturally diverse, that enjoys a brutal wealth that sometimes causes envy from foreign countries, and that is multilingual.”
“All my support for the statutory reform, the recognition of officialdom and all that it entails”, The vice president has indicated, who has declared herself as a Galician speaker and as a transmitter of the language of Rosalía de Castro to her daughter.
“Although my daughter lives in Madrid, she continues to speak and study in Galician. I think that is what we have to do, because Spain is like that: diverse, plural and enjoys an enormous linguistic and cultural wealth. And this is absolutely peaceful and inclusive.”
