España Viva: Your Window to Madrid and Beyond
Sunday, Mar 09, 2025

España busca el reconocimiento de la UE para los idiomas catalán, gallego y vasco.

Madrid insta a Polonia a avanzar en las negociaciones para agregar lenguas regionales como idiomas oficiales de la UE.
En un esfuerzo renovado por asegurar el reconocimiento de las lenguas regionales dentro de la Unión Europea, el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de España, José Manuel Albares, ha solicitado formalmente que la próxima presidencia polaca del Consejo de la UE priorice la inclusión del catalán, el gallego y el euskera como lenguas oficiales.

La propuesta diplomática, dirigida al ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Polonia, Radoslaw Sikorski, busca aprovechar el liderazgo de Polonia en el primer semestre de 2025 para avanzar en las aspiraciones lingüísticas de larga data de España.

La solicitud subraya el compromiso de España con mejorar la accesibilidad de las instituciones de la UE para los ciudadanos mediante el reconocimiento de la diversidad lingüística de Europa.

Con más de 20 millones de españoles residiendo en regiones donde estas lenguas son cooficiales, Albares argumenta su inclusión basándose en la constitución de España, su uso en los procesos legislativos y su precedencia limitada para evitar reclamos similares de otros estados miembros de la UE.

Albares insiste en que España asumirá las implicaciones financieras, estimadas en 132 millones de euros, reflejando los costos vistos con la inclusión del gaélico.

Esta iniciativa lingüística se alinea con acuerdos políticos previos, especialmente con Junts, cuyo líder Carles Puigdemont criticó recientemente al primer ministro español Pedro Sánchez por la aparente inacción.

Las llamadas de Puigdemont para un voto de confianza parlamentario entrelazan aún más la política lingüística de España en la UE con las dinámicas políticas internas.

Con el momento estratégico de la presidencia de Polonia, España busca revivir el impulso perdido durante el liderazgo de Bélgica y Hungría del Consejo de la UE.

Albares continúa con los esfuerzos diplomáticos involucrándose con la presidenta del Parlamento Europeo, Roberta Metsola, para mejorar el estatus de estas lenguas dentro de los procesos legislativos de la UE, dependiendo de asegurar el apoyo del Partido Popular Europeo.

A medida que la presidencia del Consejo de la UE cambia, las iniciativas de España ejemplifican un diálogo más amplio sobre el papel del multilingüismo en la identidad regional y la integración cultural dentro del marco europeo.

El resultado sigue siendo contingente a negociaciones multilaterales, planteando preguntas vitales sobre el equilibrio entre el reconocimiento cultural y la gobernanza práctica en el paisaje multilingüe de la UE.
