"Ibiza", the return

A shiver of patriotism, pride and deep satisfaction runs down the Spanish spine: Eivissa will continue to be Ibiza in Article 69 of the Constitution. The trumpets sound. It is a great triumph for the Popular Party with the invaluable collaboration of the PSOE, which abstained in the vote to save the result of another vote, the one that has given the green light for the island of Formentera to have a senator from now on. Catalan as a return.They call themselves non-nationalists, but there is no one more nationalist under the sun. They say their heart is bigger than yours because it fits two flags (in reality only one is the right one, and the other is decorative), but their brain must be smaller, because it only fits one language. They present themselves as cosmopolitans and, before they have even learned to say Cesc, they get flustered when the Barça goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, called up to the Spanish national football team, explains, when asked by a journalist, that his surname is pronounced in Catalan.In Vinaròs, the City Council wants less Valencian and more Castilian in the streets and shops. Citizen pressure has prevented it, for now. It is a new reminder that the Sénia is the most watched border in southern Europe. Invisible, but watched. They are the ones who say they are in favor of uniting and not separating, but they separate Catalan from Valencian and invent LAPAO. They affirm that borders are a thing of the past, but they spent decades putting borders on TV3. Anyway, no need to continue; we know them by heart. Fighting them is tiring (and very unequal), but it gives Catalan the status of a reason to live and love.
