The "Proclamation for education in Catalan" signed by over 3,000 people
and groups, that was read on February, 2000, within the eleventh edition
of the
"Catalan
Book Week", has now been relaunched
on
the Internet.
The text, written by the recently deceased Josep Melia, by Josep Massot
and Biel Majoral himself, claims a "decree that assures that the
education at all levels and in all centres of the Balearics, should be
entirely in Catalan, and should bear in mind the cultural, geographical,
historical, literary reality, etc. of all the lands where Catalan is spoken".
The text was read in public on February 24, 2000, as the presentation of
the 2000 Edition of the "Catalan Book Week".
On February 6, 2001, the composer singer
presented
to President Antich the Proclamation and the over 3,000 signatures.
