The government delegate in Galicia, Pedro Blanco, today claimed the policies promoted by the Government of Spain to protect the linguistic reality of the country and guarantee pluralism also in the use of official languages. He did so at the meeting of the XVI Assembly of the Galician Legal Brotherhood, where his incorporation as a new Iraqi collective was formalized.
After thanking him for this appointment, Pedro Blanco defended the wealth represented by the official languages of Spain, as one of the best manifestations of a “plural and democratic country”. And it meant the political decisions adopted over the last seven years by the Government to protect the legal regime of the official languages and advance in this plurality, “the best reflection of an open, modern and tolerant Spain that this Government promotes”.
At the level of the General Administration of the State, Pedro Blanco reiterated the Government’s commitment to the attention to the linguistic rights of citizens “both for electronic and face-to-face procedures”. And in this line, he stressed that the Strategic Plan that began to be implemented this year in the field of Public Administration includes measures to guarantee this rights.
Among them, the delegate noted the training in official languages of employees and public employees and the review of all e-government procedures to offer them in all current official languages. Outside the administrative field, the delegate stressed the approval of the PERTE of Language, which places the promotion of languages at the level of other strategic areas within the Recovery Plan. And he recalled that this PERTE already finances in Galicia the Us Project, which is working to ensure the incorporation of the Galician language into new technologies and artificial intelligence tools. Pedro Blanco recalled that this 2025 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Transition, which also marked the beginning of the recovery of the Galician for public life.
In this way he highlighted the example of professionals such as the notary Vitorino Gutiérrez and the lawyer of the State Consuelo Castro, who were honored in the act this morning. The delegate claimed these figures at a time when, he regretted, intolerant ideas persist that prevent, for example, the Galician from continuing to advance in public institutions such as the European Union.
