Relaunch of the "Proclamation for education in Catalan"

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.
