"In Mallorca, we don't speak Catalan, we speak Mallorcan and Spanish." to Rafael Nadal's uncle (Toni Nadal) who said this Friday at the PP congress that "in Mallorca we speak Catalan, that's what the philologists say."

Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal's former coach and uncle, spoke this Friday at the 21st National Congress of the People's Party (PP), where he stated that politicians "should not interfere in all areas of society." Nadal, who was invited to the opening session of the congress, being held this weekend in Madrid, held a conversation with Noelia Núñez, the People's Party's Undersecretary for Mobilization and the Digital Challenge. "I once said to a local politician: Why are you intervening in the issue of language? When I said that in Mallorca we spoke Mallorcan. In Mallorca we speak Catalan, that's what the philologists say. If there's a philologist, the politician shouldn't intervene. I think interfering too much and politicizing everything does a disservice to society."
