| | The Catalan academic, Miquel Strubell, said that this case reveals the difficulties of Catalan speakers to use their language freely in Catalonia. | | | As regards this, a political storm has broken out among the Spanish, Catalan and Valencian party leaders, even in the two parties (the PP and PSOE), which have traditionally promoted a language policy aimed at dividing the language. | | | However, Andecha Astur has claimed that this decision infringes the Law 1/1998, since this law entitles the Asturian citizens “to use Asturian and express themselves in it, orally and in writing”. |
