The entity has once again demanded a meeting with the Ministry of Health, after a month has passed since it requested a meeting with the minister, Manuela García, without having received any response.</p>]]></description>

This is how the testimony of Miquel Àngel Suau Morro begins, a young man who reports having suffered a situation of linguistic mockery in Majorca. According to his account, a group of teenagers began to imitate his way of speaking in an exaggerated manner and make derogatory comments when he and his friends were conversing in Majorcan.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Last week, Professor Gabriel Bibiloni, whom we who knew him when we studied Catalan Philology at the University of the Balearic Islands held in high esteem, <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/linguist-gabriel-bibiloni-denounces-linguistic-discrimination-at-consum-catalan-speakers-are-unprotected_1_5630926.html" target="_blank">He was the protagonist of an event</a> which, beyond the annoyance it caused him, the shop assistant who served him and the managers of the establishment where it happened, is a reflection of the humiliating agony and scandalous contempt that we Catalan speakers must live with when we leave our tribal pebble, what is now called "the comfort zone".</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lately, especially in recent years with the rise of global Trumpism, it has come to seem that facts, simple facts, have become a form of ideology. We have become so confused that stating certain truths now seems like a political option, as if politics didn't have to start from truths, but could even be imposed upon them.</p>]]></description>
