lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to express my deep concern over the attitude of the Spanish Government, which does not allow the Catalan language to be used in this Parliament. The Catalan language was banned and persecuted during the Franco dictatorship; now Spanish democracy is demonstrating its low quality by not permitting the official use of Catalan in this Parliament. All languages are equal, the same way that all human beings are equal. Europe is an exquisite model of good practice which affords smaller official languages the possibility of being treated on an equal footing. Ten million people speak Catalan, and this language is not allowed to be spoken in this House. If Catalan were recognised and authorised to be spoken in Parliament, this would decisively help to improve the situation of the Catalan language in Spain, reinforcing our claim to break the centuries-old unilingualism of the Spanish Parliament. As a Catalan Member of the European Parliament, who now knows that that represents a clear and significant demand on the part of the Catalan people, I ask for the special attention of the European Commission to normalise the Catalan language in this House."@en1
