The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, assured this Monday that the Government is “bringing closer positions” with the countries of the European Union to include Catalan as an official language in the European linguistic regime and has affirmed that the Executive in functions of Sánchez "is not going to spare any effort" to achieve his objective, as part of the negotiations for the investiture with the pro-independence parties.
Albares, in an interview on RAC1, stressed that, in addition to a “personal commitment” from the minister himself, it is about the “political will” of Sánchez, and highlighted that at the meeting of the General Affairs Council of the European Union On September 19, no one vetoed the proposal to make Catalan, Basque and Galician official.
In any case, the final decision has not yet been made, and the minister has stated that "we must introduce the nuances and visions of the Twenty-Seven" before their approval, and go "week by week."
The Spanish diplomat took advantage of the moment to refer to last Sunday's demonstration in Barcelona against the amnesty, and accused Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the PP, and his Vox counterpart, Santiago Abascal, of "going hand in hand." to generate tension", stating that "we all have to recognize the plurality and diversity of Spain", remembering that the referendum was carried out under the control of the popular ones.
The minister added that "the Spanish right has been announcing for 50 years that Spain is breaking up", and that "they are going to fail, once again", ensuring that the socialist government "is going to continue working for coexistence, with a very clear tool , which is dialogue, and within a framework that is the Constitution", and that is why, according to Albares, Sánchez's investiture will be "a real investiture, not a play" like Feijóo's failed attempt.
