Yesterday, the composer singer
Biel
Majoral presented over 3,000 signatures to
President
Antich, in favour of the "
Proclama
per l'ensenyament en català", that have been collected over
the past twelve months. 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".
Biel Majoral was accompanied by Josep Melià Jr. and the general
director for Culture, Pere Muñoz.
