Defending Catalan



Since today for two weeks the bus 17, 22, 24 and 33 in Barcelona are carrying on images of the campaign "El Catala' suma" for defending Catalan. According to the Plataforma per la Llengua (a non-governmental organisation that works to promote Catalan language as a social cohesion tool), this campaign show how the Catalan is still not recognized as it should be in European Union respect to other languages that has similar demographic and commercial value, and also the inexplicable legislative disparity of Catalan respect to the Spanish in Catalunya.
Tha aim of the campaign is to make people aware of the situation of the Catalan in the different spheres of society, remembering that the use of this language promote the social cohesion.
