1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480 Well, a few weeks ago they left me a comment in a video that 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,480 I don' t remember very well what I was coming to, but I 3 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:10,160 know that this person in question gave me the impression that he thought everyone was 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,400 speaking in Catalan. I didn' t start explaining it here, but we 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,439 ' re basically going. I told him that in my environment he speaks it 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,000 practically in no one and what is usually heard in my surroundings is either Spanish 7 00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,800 or as much Mallorcan. But, well, there he was the other day 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,359 at school in front of my house, in school hours, I saw how 9 00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:30,039 a lot of teachers were taking a picture together with a poster that put on 10 00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:32,320 the mare. It' s not touch, I had no idea what it 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,439 was. I looked it up in Google and looking for a little bit, 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,399 because you see what it was all about. It turns out that ppabox are 13 00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:41,200 the ones who govern right now here in Palma Mallorca. Apparently, I' 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,840 m not super aware of politics. I also don' t mind, because 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:51,159 I think they want to make some subjects of the Balearic schools, because they 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,960 can choose the parents if they want to be given in Spanish or Catalan, 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,640 because currently practically all are given in Catalan. Less language you imagine not for 18 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:03,159 all people who are not from here on the island or people who only understand 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,480 Spanish how difficult it is to go to school and teach you mathematics in Catalan, 20 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:08,799 for example. Well, that' s the way it is. It 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,760 seems to me that this can only be if the schools have a suitable place, 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,120 that is, that they give him space in the classes so that they 23 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:21,200 can put in those classes the children who want him to give them the classes 24 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,319 in Spanish. You know, as I understand it, then it would be 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,519 none, because I think no school has room left. On the other hand, 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,280 more schools are missing. Seeing that the school in front of my house 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,040 was done in the photograph with that phrase, I realized when I Googled that 28 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,920 there were more institutes and more schools that were doing it. And it was 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,719 precisely because of this that the truth is a little bit flirty, but well, 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840 I also imagined, because, that this was a political issue more than 31 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,239 anything, and point the scroll is that the other day I jump on Instagram 32 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:49,920 in the last hour newspaper account is a newspaper here in Palma Mallorca, a 33 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,000 video of a concentration that they made in the main square here in Palma, 34 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,959 where you see the main square, full of people, but full protesting precisely 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,280 for that, because they do not want to be able to choose between giving 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,159 them some subjects in schools that can be in Spanish or Catalan. And frankly, 37 00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,479 I was surprised by the number of people in the video that comes out 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,719 of the main square, that is, the CB, which is a Catalan 39 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,719 independence organization that is here in Palma Mayor, which is dedicated to promoting, 40 00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:22,159 because more than anything, because people speak in Catalan. Yes or yes, 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,759 because they said there were forty zero attendees in the main square. When the 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,520 police told them and there were seven zeros, that is, they went a 43 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,560 little too far, you know, but what do you expect these people not, 44 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:36,560 because their job is not to get people to talk in Catalan. And 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,840 so, if this will be over, his chollo would be over, his 46 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:39,240 job would be over and he' ll have to work on something else. 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,280 But from forty zero to seven zero fuck not how you passed anyway, I 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,120 find that there are a lot of people in the Plaza Mayor. I am 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,080 surprised that so many people are in favour of this, that is, they 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,520 won' t let you choose whether you can learn in Catalan or Spanish any 51 00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,360 subject that has to be in Catalan because of its eggs. And if you 52 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,879 don' t, then you don' t get mad, and you do 53 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:02,680 with these feelings. Seeing so many people from the Plaza Mayor reminded me of 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,039 the rallies that made Pedro Sánchez town, that it took five or six days 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,800 to think if he was still President of Spain and there were some demonstrations, 56 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,639 demonstrations that were paid, that had given fifty euros to each retiree, that 57 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:20,599 they had sent to the demonstrations. Well, I wonder if these people who 58 00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:23,159 are here really haven' t brought them from Barcelona, here by plane, 59 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,240 because I think there are a lot of people. It' s not forty 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,840 zero anyway, but it' s that seven zero already seem a lot to 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400 me, which are seven zero people who don' t agree on what you 62 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:36,319 can choose, in which language they can give you some of the school classes 63 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,520 where your kids go, I mean, they seem very selfish. Honestly, 64 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:42,199 and as I said at the beginning, you when you come to Palma to 65 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:46,039 Mallorca. The only places they talk to you in Catalan is in schools. 66 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:49,560 And now, because when I went to school, I wasn' t even 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,000 like that. They were talking to you in Catalan, in Catalan. And 68 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:54,360 if you didn' t know how to speak in Catalan, the teacher explained 69 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,840 it to you Spanish without problems and all the other subjects will be in Spanish. 70 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,960 Now it' s all in Catalan. You don' t know Catalan, 71 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,479 because in your house they don' t speak in Catalan, because you 72 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,120 are not the best born here, in Palma Mayorca and in Barcelona. Well 73 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,199 you fuck, you have to learn or at best, if you have a 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,960 teacher rolled up, because it' s going to repeat things in Spanish again, 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,759 wasting time and wasting the time of the rest of the people. I 76 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,319 ' ve been to two parenting meetings where the parents, maybe they were Andalusians. 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,160 They didn' t understand Catalan. They have asked them yes, please, 78 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:26,279 at the meeting they could speak in Spanish so that everyone could understand each 79 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,360 other and they have told them not that if, at the end of the 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279 meeting, they would explain what they had to explain at the end of the 81 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,319 meeting to them and it was basically the whole meeting the parents obviously complain and 82 00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,480 tell them men. If I come at three and I have to wait until 83 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,959 four o' clock for you to explain it to me in Spanish, because 84 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,079 that' s why I come at four, because maybe I' ve left 85 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,279 work before. No, because that' s how it is, and as 86 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,519 I said before, you come to Pablo, to Majorca and save the schools 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000 in the city halls, to some police officers. Not all and some places 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,279 where by eggs, by obligation, make them have the title of Catalan and 89 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:00,680 speak in Catalan. In all other places they speak to you in Spanish and 90 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,199 if you already leave the city, you go to the villages, they usually 91 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,079 speak to you in Mallorquín. In any case, what is not Catalan and 92 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800 is not the same. And I' m over forty years old and I 93 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,519 ' ve worked as a delivery man all over the island for a lot of 94 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,879 years and I' ve talked to a lot of people, it' s 95 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:18,399 been a lot of houses. I could count on the fingers of a hand 96 00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,639 how many people have spoken to me in Catalan. As I told you before, 97 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,680 people usually speak either in Castellano or in Mallorquín. Yes, there will 98 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,360 be many people who speak in Catalan, but it is not the usual thing 99 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,199 at all, at least in my circle and in my field of work. 100 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,879 But they want to show how Catalan is normal and that everyone on the islands 101 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,800 speaks in Catalan, yes or yes. When it' s not true, 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,000 I think it' s great who wants to speak Catalan, who speaks Catalan. 103 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,079 What I don' t think is great is that, by the way, 104 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,120 make me speak Catalan and teach students in Catalan when speaking Spanish, we 105 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:51,240 would all understand each other perfectly. And it' s like an imposition and 106 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,759 besides, an imposition that I don' t let you choose. I don 107 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800 ' t want you to have a choice. You know it has to be 108 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,040 in Catalan, yes or yes. Also, if so many people speak Catalan, 109 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680 why do you have to let them choose? If you want to do 110 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120 classes in Catalan in Spanish, why? Because they' re afraid that, 111 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,560 maybe there' ll be more people who choose to teach them in Spanish. 112 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,399 No, otherwise, why don' t you want to be let choose. 113 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:15,360 But, well, it' s just my opinion. I wanted to comment 114 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,759 here because, as I have seen the comments they leave me on YouTube, 115 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:21,319 sometimes it gives the feeling that in Palma Mallorca what is spoken mostly is Catalan. 116 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,279 And I can tell you that if you don' t understand Catalan, 117 00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,800 you can come here perfectly. Why is it normal for everyone to speak to 118 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,959 you in Spanish and if you, who are watching the video, are going 119 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:31,319 to write that I am very stupid, that I am ignorant. And that 120 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:33,800 ' s because it' s what these people always say, because that I 121 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,120 tell you, if you like to speak Catalan so much, go to cataluña. 122 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,360 Uncle there you can bloat in Catalan and by the way learn Moroccan. 123 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:43,879 What' s missing is the next video. It' s a hello bye.
