Varios socios avisan a España de que "no es aceptable" vincular la oficialidad del catalán a la ampliación de la UE

European Union ministers have expressed opposition to the Spanish government's strategy of linking the official recognition of Catalan, Basque, and Galician within the EU to the broader process of bloc enlargement. During a meeting of European Affairs ministers, several member states signaled that conditioning the accession of new members on the linguistic status of Spain's regional languages is considered unacceptable.

This development complicates Spain's ongoing efforts to elevate the status of these languages at the European level. The pushback highlights a significant diplomatic hurdle for the Spanish administration, as other member states prioritize the enlargement agenda over internal linguistic policy adjustments.
