The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who must feel the sexy breath on his neck and very macho From his colleague Santiago Abascal, he has unspooled a "points-based visa" for immigrants, giving preference to those with a "greater capacity for integration" and "a better understanding of the culture." According to the Andalusian president, Juanma Moreno, this means that Spanish should be a "requirement" for obtaining residency. In an interview on Onda Cero, however, he said no, that it's not the same as what Junts per Catalunya is asking for with our language. He said: "They are different things. There are two languages there. We have one. They put the emphasis on the other co-official language. And what we say is that a universal language like Spanish is important to know."
The "capacity" for integration is difficult to measure. I would say I have none. I like other people's customs only if I don't have to practice them. I see it as normal that in Andalusia, Spanish should be a requirement for residency. But then, why doesn't the president think Catalan is a good language? Let's review. He says we "have" two languages. I'd say we have many more, but so do they. In any case, why should it be better to have one than two? Why is it easier? He says we put "the emphasis" on "the other" co-official language. By what criterion is Catalan "the other" and Spanish the "one"? Of course, often when we refer to "the other" we mean "the loving one" as opposed to the "legitimate one." The word lover It certainly stimulates more than the word legitimate, especially because of its clandestine nature.
I completely agree that a universal language like Spanish is important to know. But why, then, wouldn't it also be important to know an ancient language like Catalan? Why does it have fewer speakers than Spanish? According to this criterion, we should know, above all, Shakira's music, which is extraordinary, but not Camarón's, which is also extraordinary.
