Andorra requires a minimum level of Catalan to reside
- The new Catalan defense law of Andorra will require the basic level of Catalan in order to live and work in it. They shall require a level below Title A2.
Xavier Spot presidentea. Argazkia: VilaWeb.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
The Ministry of Culture, Education and the Interior is amending the immigration law, adding the Catalan requirement to the residence permit. They are calling for a level below A2 and the President of Andorra, Xavier Spot, has stated that the law will enter into force next year.
The aim of the law is that all Andorrans have the ability to speak in Catalan to be able to attend in Catalan. This year there have been 88 complaints against establishments that have not served in Catalan. The number has increased considerably in the last year, with 34 complaints last year.
If the level cannot be established, a course of 30 hours must be completed. A person with no title but rank may be tested. Contingent personnel should not meet the requirement, but the Government will seek language promotion.
