Well, a few weeks ago they left me a comment in a video that
I don' t remember very well what I was coming to, but I
know that this person in question gave me the impression that he thought everyone was
speaking in Catalan. I didn' t start explaining it here, but we
' re basically going. I told him that in my environment he speaks it
practically in no one and what is usually heard in my surroundings is either Spanish
or as much Mallorcan. But, well, there he was the other day
at school in front of my house, in school hours, I saw how
a lot of teachers were taking a picture together with a poster that put on
the mare. It' s not touch, I had no idea what it
was. I looked it up in Google and looking for a little bit,
because you see what it was all about. It turns out that ppabox are
the ones who govern right now here in Palma Mallorca. Apparently, I'
m not super aware of politics. I also don' t mind, because
I think they want to make some subjects of the Balearic schools, because they
can choose the parents if they want to be given in Spanish or Catalan,
because currently practically all are given in Catalan. Less language you imagine not for
all people who are not from here on the island or people who only understand
Spanish how difficult it is to go to school and teach you mathematics in Catalan,
for example. Well, that' s the way it is. It
seems to me that this can only be if the schools have a suitable place,
that is, that they give him space in the classes so that they
can put in those classes the children who want him to give them the classes
in Spanish. You know, as I understand it, then it would be
none, because I think no school has room left. On the other hand,
more schools are missing. Seeing that the school in front of my house
was done in the photograph with that phrase, I realized when I Googled that
there were more institutes and more schools that were doing it. And it was
precisely because of this that the truth is a little bit flirty, but well,
I also imagined, because, that this was a political issue more than
anything, and point the scroll is that the other day I jump on Instagram
in the last hour newspaper account is a newspaper here in Palma Mallorca, a
video of a concentration that they made in the main square here in Palma,
where you see the main square, full of people, but full protesting precisely
for that, because they do not want to be able to choose between giving
them some subjects in schools that can be in Spanish or Catalan. And frankly,
I was surprised by the number of people in the video that comes out
of the main square, that is, the CB, which is a Catalan
independence organization that is here in Palma Mayor, which is dedicated to promoting,
because more than anything, because people speak in Catalan. Yes or yes,
because they said there were forty zero attendees in the main square. When the
police told them and there were seven zeros, that is, they went a
little too far, you know, but what do you expect these people not,
because their job is not to get people to talk in Catalan. And
so, if this will be over, his chollo would be over, his
job would be over and he' ll have to work on something else.
But from forty zero to seven zero fuck not how you passed anyway, I
find that there are a lot of people in the Plaza Mayor. I am
surprised that so many people are in favour of this, that is, they
won' t let you choose whether you can learn in Catalan or Spanish any
subject that has to be in Catalan because of its eggs. And if you
don' t, then you don' t get mad, and you do
with these feelings. Seeing so many people from the Plaza Mayor reminded me of
the rallies that made Pedro Sánchez town, that it took five or six days
to think if he was still President of Spain and there were some demonstrations,
demonstrations that were paid, that had given fifty euros to each retiree, that
they had sent to the demonstrations. Well, I wonder if these people who
are here really haven' t brought them from Barcelona, here by plane,
because I think there are a lot of people. It' s not forty
zero anyway, but it' s that seven zero already seem a lot to
me, which are seven zero people who don' t agree on what you
can choose, in which language they can give you some of the school classes
where your kids go, I mean, they seem very selfish. Honestly,
and as I said at the beginning, you when you come to Palma to
Mallorca. The only places they talk to you in Catalan is in schools.
And now, because when I went to school, I wasn' t even
like that. They were talking to you in Catalan, in Catalan. And
if you didn' t know how to speak in Catalan, the teacher explained
it to you Spanish without problems and all the other subjects will be in Spanish.
Now it' s all in Catalan. You don' t know Catalan,
because in your house they don' t speak in Catalan, because you
are not the best born here, in Palma Mayorca and in Barcelona. Well
you fuck, you have to learn or at best, if you have a
teacher rolled up, because it' s going to repeat things in Spanish again,
wasting time and wasting the time of the rest of the people. I
' ve been to two parenting meetings where the parents, maybe they were Andalusians.
They didn' t understand Catalan. They have asked them yes, please,
at the meeting they could speak in Spanish so that everyone could understand each
other and they have told them not that if, at the end of the
meeting, they would explain what they had to explain at the end of the
meeting to them and it was basically the whole meeting the parents obviously complain and
tell them men. If I come at three and I have to wait until
four o' clock for you to explain it to me in Spanish, because
that' s why I come at four, because maybe I' ve left
work before. No, because that' s how it is, and as
I said before, you come to Pablo, to Majorca and save the schools
in the city halls, to some police officers. Not all and some places
where by eggs, by obligation, make them have the title of Catalan and
speak in Catalan. In all other places they speak to you in Spanish and
if you already leave the city, you go to the villages, they usually
speak to you in Mallorquín. In any case, what is not Catalan and
is not the same. And I' m over forty years old and I
' ve worked as a delivery man all over the island for a lot of
years and I' ve talked to a lot of people, it' s
been a lot of houses. I could count on the fingers of a hand
how many people have spoken to me in Catalan. As I told you before,
people usually speak either in Castellano or in Mallorquín. Yes, there will
be many people who speak in Catalan, but it is not the usual thing
at all, at least in my circle and in my field of work.
But they want to show how Catalan is normal and that everyone on the islands
speaks in Catalan, yes or yes. When it' s not true,
I think it' s great who wants to speak Catalan, who speaks Catalan.
What I don' t think is great is that, by the way,
make me speak Catalan and teach students in Catalan when speaking Spanish, we
would all understand each other perfectly. And it' s like an imposition and
besides, an imposition that I don' t let you choose. I don
' t want you to have a choice. You know it has to be
in Catalan, yes or yes. Also, if so many people speak Catalan,
why do you have to let them choose? If you want to do
classes in Catalan in Spanish, why? Because they' re afraid that,
maybe there' ll be more people who choose to teach them in Spanish.
No, otherwise, why don' t you want to be let choose.
But, well, it' s just my opinion. I wanted to comment
here because, as I have seen the comments they leave me on YouTube,
sometimes it gives the feeling that in Palma Mallorca what is spoken mostly is Catalan.
And I can tell you that if you don' t understand Catalan,
you can come here perfectly. Why is it normal for everyone to speak to
you in Spanish and if you, who are watching the video, are going
to write that I am very stupid, that I am ignorant. And that
' s because it' s what these people always say, because that I
tell you, if you like to speak Catalan so much, go to cataluña.
Uncle there you can bloat in Catalan and by the way learn Moroccan.
What' s missing is the next video. It' s a hello bye.
