Feijóo's Stance Shift on Galician Language Sparks Debate in Spain

Spain's Minister Pilar Alegría highlighted the shift in Alberto Núñez Feijóo's position on recognizing the Galician language. In a recent press conference, Alegría noted the contrast between Feijóo's past support for Galician and his current stance. "It seems that at this point, Mr. Feijóo no longer likes Galician," she stated, emphasizing the government's continued commitment to Spain's multilingual reality. This comes as Spain marks the 40th anniversary of its EU accession, a moment Alegría described as significant for this commitment to linguistic diversity. The government's dedication to recognizing Galician, Catalan, and Basque languages remains steadfast, despite the shift in the Partido Popular's position. This event underscores the ongoing political debate surrounding language rights and cultural recognition in Spain.
