		The Catalan regional parliament passed a law requiring that Castilian (Spanish) and Catalan be given equal treatment in schools; that radio and television stations broadcast half their programs in Catalan; and that radio stations with government concessions play Catalan-language songs at least 25% of the time.
		Jordi Pujol, head of the autonomous Catalan government in northeastern Spain, told Antenna 3 television that unlike Spain, his region was "a nation in its own right" and as such, had a right to self-determination.

		Catalan expanded considerably as a language of creation and government (the Royal Chancellery) between the 13 th and 16 th centuries, at the time when the Catalan-Aragonese crown had spread its rule through the Mediterranean, to Sicily, Sardinia, Naples and even to Athens.
		The republican constitution of 1931 and the statute of autonomy of 1932 enabled Catalonia to recover the Generalitat (Catalan Government), and led to Catalan being declared the official language and to the implementation of an active policy of support for its teaching.
		Despite all this, Catalan continued to be the language spoken in families in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the rest of the Catalanspeaking territories.

		The Catalan case is often cited as a relatively successful example of language planification and revitalization.
		Catalunya just changed its autonomous government in 2004, and the general hope is that the new one shows some more commitment to the already existing laws (both Spanish and European) for the protection of Catalan and the Catalan culture.

		Considering that the main objective is to boost the social use of Catalan and to protect it from the 'law of the market’, the main measure will be that the Catalan government will change its criteria when it comes to buying goods and supplies.
		If it is borne in mind that the Catalan government is responsible for areas such as schools or hospitals, it gives an idea of how positive and influential such a measure could be.

		On one point there can be no doubt: the new government must make a declaration of unquestionable principles, affirming its intention of turning the impulse of the masses into revolutionary legality, and directing it in the sense of the socialist revolution.
		The ‘radical’ Catalan programme, ‘the collectivization of great rural properties and respect for small agrarian property’, concealed a reactionary perspective: land could still be bought and sold.
		Before entry into the government, the POUM had criticized industrial ‘collectivization’, pointing out that the unions, and even the workers in individual factories, were treating them as their own property.

		I think that Catalan society is able to receive new immigrants and it will be society itself which determines the number that it is able to receive.
