Thousands of people in Oviedo call for Asturian to become an official language
- Thousands of people have taken to the streets to proclaim Asturian as an official language. The event was held in a festive atmosphere, with the participation of multi-profile citizens: According to the organizers, 30,000 people; 5,000 for local police
In order to make Asturian an official language, the demonstrators have called for a revision of the autonomy statute of Asturias. Xoxe Condel, spokesperson for the popular platform for the Asturian language, says that the Asturian language has “multiple” support to become official and that if the authorities want it, the language is an issue that must be addressed “right now”.
Several prominent members of political parties and trade union leaders attended the demonstration. For example, Ramón Argüelles, Chief Secretary of the UIA of Asturias, points out that these proclamations are not contrary to the Spanish language and must be protected as a heritage. “Without opposing anyone, we must defend the Asturian language and for this it is necessary to put clear political plans on the table for the Asturian language to become official.”
On the other hand, the Asturian and Galician official languages spoken in the regions of Eo and Navia have also been proclaimed.
