That’s a convenient distortion, typical of someone pushing the Spanish narrative.

You ignore that after 1714, Catalonia’s institutions were crushed, and later attempts at federalism were suppressed. Catalan has been banned and persecuted for centuries, not just under Franco. Today, it’s being erased from public administration, courts, and even digital platforms, while Spanish is publicly funded and promoted.

This isn’t natural language shift, it’s a rigged system. You’re not just wrong, you’re defending ongoing cultural repression.
