poets what provoked such an upsurge in the catalan poetry and four of your generation. i think you know people born in the forty's and fifty's by the time we were able to decide what we wanted to do we had two ways in front of us as far as writing goes we could choose to write on them or we could choose to write in the spanish we had been brought up in the spanish under the franco or all of us within the have television when at redhill within their newspapers very few books from me fifty's on which then if you decide to write i think what you look at is what you know and what you know is what you have surrounding you your family your landscape your language and that language was catalan so it's like this up through a tree that goes to the branches and then. might become green or not have flowers or not but the bends so the suppression of catalogs under franco actually led to the the opposite effect of the old dictator was there was looking for i think partly. because you saw what was happening and why i mean when you look around even of the char i was a child. you reali

government the popular party government's response last year to the catalan raffle. why are you opposed to tattle on independence i don't see that to separate from spain would be any good for catalonia because i can be great. throughout they belong in spain and in the european union i don't believe that as more country is difficult world would be would survive better alone so the force last year when you witnessed scenes that we saw all round the world what was your thought as the as the socialist leader in catalonia well i was very worried about the breaking of the rule of law that dependence parties falls upon everyone and i was also very concerned about the. the no response the non political response of the popular party and the worst day of this period was the first of october when the popular party decided to go against a referendum by using the police force upon people that wanted to vote and you must address the issue telling the pro independence people did you see another way to reach your go and to be better together we've been lucky enough to have a change

you yourself have been criticized in the past for writings which were apparently objectionable to catalans with a spanish orientation. what can you do because you know the president of all of catalonia what can you do to unite opinion across catalonia to see this democratic green that we spoke to ocracy is a substantially superior vision and inclusive of all people in catalonia i used to say same freedom that they won for catalonia i wonder same for for the spanish people and now freedom in the very. means republic so. i hope that soon republic of catalonia and the republic of spain should meet together a flattering on the. thing that this is the best future for all of us. well i can't determine the future mr president but what i can do is offer you something to toast i know they know it very well this is a quick scots gallic for a loving cup you know that real whiskey only scotch whiskey nothing else will do. and then road all the citizens of cattle will think you are thinking you know i'd like you for that if there was this one thank you. of course political opinion is divided and cattle

now we're going to hear from the leader of the catalan socialists who has a different perspective on the national question and catalonia again welcome. thank you for having me. your party position is you're opposed to catalan independence equally you're very unhappy with the government the popular party government's response last year to the catalan referendum why are you opposed to tattle on independents i don't see that to separate from spain would be any good for catalonia because i mean you can be a great big throughout they belong in spain and in the european union i don't believe that as more country is difficult world peace would survive better in alone so the first last year when you witnessed scenes that we saw around the world what was your thought as the as the socialist leader in catalonia well i was very worried about the breaking of the rule of law that dependence parties falls upon everyone and i was also very concerned about the. the normal response to the non political response of the popular party and the worst day of this period was the first of october when the po

know is what you have surrounding you your family your landscape your language and that language was catalan so it's like this up through a tree that goes through the branches and then. might become green or not have flowers or not but the bends so the suppression of cattle under franco actually led to the the opposite. i think partly. because you saw what was happening and i mean when you look around even of a child. you realize you are using a language and maybe your family knows. in those songs or you go to a village and that's the language of the spoken and suddenly in the public place this language doesn't exist. it's like a ghost and. children have your city and you try to discover and when you discover you realize that those are your roots and i think it's important to find your roots if you want to grow and also if you want to become yourself. robert scotland's national poet wrote famously in the scots line it's primarily because he wanted to make a statement that the scots language was the equal of of english or any other language if you want to demonstrate that you can express idea
