Spain's diplomatic push for regional language recognition
Overview
The Spanish government continues to face diplomatic resistance in Brussels regarding its proposal to grant official EU status to Catalan, Basque, and Galician. During a meeting of the Council of General Affairs, several member states, including Germany, Sweden, and Lithuania, rejected Spain's strategy of linking the recognition of these languages to the upcoming EU enlargement process.
Officials from these nations criticized the attempt to use enlargement as leverage for domestic linguistic demands, calling the approach ‘unacceptable’ and potentially damaging to European unity.
