It does not have recognized official status and is not even a language of compulsory teaching in schools, as it is a voluntary subject. But the battle for its official status has returned to the forefront this term, and this Saturday there will be a demonstration with that objective and also with the objective of making Galician-Asturian—or Eonaviego—official in the western part of Asturias. For the first time, this issue will be voted on in the Asturian parliament—although currently not three-fifths of deputies are in favor—after <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/asturias-the-spanish-right-s-other-linguistic-front_1_4224198.html" target="_blank">the last legislature missed the opportunity to achieve this</a>Although there was initially a majority, a twist of events ultimately meant that the vote wasn't held: the PP was against it and Vox was especially aggressive, while Foro Asturias changed its mind at the last minute and also joined the rejection of official status. Adrián Barbón emphasizes in ARA that official status "is a priority" and that "it has never been voted on," making the vote "historic." They add that they are clear that "official status is inevitable; if not this term, the one that comes to law." The government already formally defended it in the regional chamber in April, where experts appeared and the project process began.</p>]]></description>
