THIS IS VALENCIA

During last month, the Catalan government has passed the “cinema in Catalan” bill. This bill provides the almost 50% of the films screened at Catalan cinemas must be in Catalan.
This new has ruffled the Spanish right-wing feathers because they want to believe Spanish is under threat in Catalonia. They think that Spanish speakers are persecuted and booed wherever they go. These kind of people can't stand that Catalans want to defend their linguistic rights, their culture and the fact that they want to be respected and recognized. Ultimately, the only aim they pursue is to live fully in Catalan.

However, in Valencia, the situation is completely different. Here it's almost impossible to see a film in Catalan. Our government doesn't care about our linguistic rights. We only just to see Canal 9 and its “marvellous” schedules, the number of films, advertisements and programmes which are in Catalan; and how well the presenters speak our language.
In spite of this, you can hear many Valencians making fun of Catalans. They say “Look at what Catalans are doing now!They want to put the 50% of the films in Catalan!Mad people!”
It is shameful that we can't see any film in Catalan, in our language, because a circus clowns -our politicians- think that Catalan is a second language which has to disappear.
In Valencia, Catalan speakers can see a film in Catalan once a month, when the Universitat de València with the collaboration of the Universitat Politècnica de València screens a film in the UGC cinema. The problem or advantage is that it's free with the student card (2x1). And, when there's a great and very famous film, it's impossible to find any ticket.
So,it is regrettable that we can't enjoy our leisure in Catalan. We have many few classes/lessons in a proper Catalan. We have many troubles to speak in Catalan away from home because the staff which work facing people, usually, don't understand our language. Our politicians say that Valencian is not the same of Catalan, but they defend this theory in Spanish.
Well...THIS IS VALENCIA!
