Rather than give in to pressure from the right, Alberto Núñez Feijóo reiterated his tepid speech on language policy this Monday, a day after he dodged a new photo of Colón at the Barcelona demonstration to step up Spanish teaching in Catalonia. The leader of the PP has criticized Pedro Sánchez’s government for “allowing” and “stopping” in the face of the “shameless contempt” of the sentences requiring 25% of Spanish lessons in Catalan classrooms and has promised to do so if the government he won’t do the same. But he has also sent a message to the hardest sectors of the right and his rivals at Vox and Ciudadanos by demanding a separate path on the matter. “We will defend all our languages ​​with the tools of the rule of law and we will do it our way,” Feijóo said at an informative breakfast in Madrid. “Intolerance is not fought with more intolerance. We love freedom and want to hear it in all our languages ​​and of course in the common language of our state.”

“In the end, it’s about compliance with the constitution, everyone’s. With great support in Catalonia, by the way,” said Feijóo, who spoke on his own initiative on the subject in his short speech in which he introduced Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of Andalusia, who was the protagonist of the breakfast. He has done so in the face of criticism he woke up to this morning in the conservative press for his “ambiguous” position on the defense of Castile in Catalonia, after failing to be present at Sunday’s demonstration and defending himself in his closing speech of the interparliamentary meeting of the PP on the subject of “language friendliness” in Catalan education.

This Monday, Feijóo also responded to right-wingers who question his commitment to Castilian in Catalonia, promising to honor the courts’ rulings. “Some want to make Spanish a foreign language in Catalonia and the government agrees. We will not. Some want to turn the Catalan school into a laboratory from which to encourage impoverished monolingualism, and the government tolerates this. We will not. Some shamelessly flout the verdicts and the government is stuck. We won’t do that,” he said. But phrases like “impoverishment of monolingualism” and “linguistic cordiality” stand out in his speech, as does his emphasis on equating Catalan and Spanish as constitutional languages ​​to be defended, creating bubbles in some sectors of the right.

The Galician trilingual model

The leader of the PP agrees on this issue with his own experience as president of an autonomous community with its own language. Their model for Catalonia, as official PP sources explain, is precisely to export the Galician model. In Galicia, Feijóo introduced a trilingual model with Galician, Spanish and English with a 33% share in each language. In Catalonia, where there is a model of linguistic immersion, the debate stems from the Generalitat’s refusal to authorize at least 25% of the teaching of Spanish, as set out in various court rulings. Feijóo’s plan would increase the proportion of Spanish students in Catalonia to 33%, but that is not the proposal of some sectors of the right, who are calling for courses to be only in Spanish and for parents to have free choice.

In his short time as leader of the PP – he has been at the helm of the party for almost half a year – Feijóo has flirted with the most fiery discourses, for example when he said that there was “linguistic apartheid” in Catalonia, but even if his Having waved the flag of Spanish at competitors in Barcelona, ​​he now bucks the confrontational rhetoric and opts for soft words. At the moment, the most centralist sectors in the PP are keeping a low profile in the face of Feijóo’s speech. Nobody wants to frolic in the garden. The President of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has acknowledged that perhaps more clarity is needed, but she also defended Feijóo this Monday. “The PP has to be clear, if it’s not clear enough, it has to repeat it, make it so clear. It is our duty to respect court decisions and the constitution, we must not let the judiciary say something so fundamental,” he said in an interview with Esradio. “I have absolute faith in what President Feijóo is saying. Everything is questioned, you have to give him a truce, a margin, he just arrived”.

The leader has the firm support of more moderate barons on this issue, such as Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, who was spotted this Monday in Madrid with the leader at a breakfast attended by numerous former PP ministers. Among them the former vice-president of the government, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, who does not usually attend events of this type since she left politics. The general feeling in the PP is that Feijóo is doing well and the popular leader has enough internal auctoritas to deliver a language risky speech for the right. The centrist strategy is also in the background. Moreno Bonilla recalled this Monday before Feijóo: “There is a big highway through the center and if we know how to take it we will have big majorities.”

Paul Rice, Allison Rice’s father, said the news of her untimely death devastated the family

The father of a 21-year-old college student who was shot dead while she was in her car in Louisiana said he believes she was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”.

Paul Rice, Allison Rice’s father, said the news of her untimely death devastated the family.

‘She’s not one who had enemies. We don’t think she was stalked or stalked,” he told Fox News.

“This particular area of ​​Baton Rouge has a history of this type of activity.”

“It should never have happened, it shouldn’t have happened, it shouldn’t have happened,” Paul told WBRZ.

“She is a beautiful child. She still had a year to graduate from LSU, she had her whole future ahead of her.

“If you hear the words of the police officer who says, ‘She’s at the coroner’s now, she didn’t make it.’ They are the most devastating words you will ever hear.”

Allison Rice, 21, had studied marketing at Louisiana State University and was preparing for an internship before her tragic murder

Friends and family have left floral tributes, as well as their favorite snacks, on the street where she was shot

A cross with Allie’s face in the center was nailed to a telephone pole near where the student died

Allison was on her way home from a night out with friends and was shot dead near railroad tracks around 2:30 a.m. on Friday. She was in her car eating french fries at the time of the shooting.

The first time Paul knew something was wrong was at 4:45 a.m. when police knocked on his door to tell him his daughter had been the victim of a shooting.

“We woke up to our dogs barking and the doorbell ringing,” Rice told Fox.

“The cops showed up the middle of the night for various reasons, things happening in the neighborhood and stuff, but when they said, ‘Are you Allison’s father, can we come in please?’ You knew at that point it was going to be something horrific, I never imagined the news would be the way it was.

Police rushed to the scene after witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots around 2:30 a.m. Friday

Authorities discovered several bullet casings near her vehicle, as well as fast food on her lap, but nothing was stolen from her car

Police got to the scene around 2.30am and all that remained later that morning was a pile of broken glass after her car was removed

“The only thing I can really think about at this point is that it’s a bad case from the wrong place at the wrong time.”

As of Monday afternoon, Baton Rouge police have not identified a suspect or motive, with detectives “at a loss” to explain the brutal killing of the Geismar student, who was described by friends as “bright and bubbly.”

“This is being taken very seriously, but despite this, all indications at this time are that there is no evidence. They really don’t have an explanation for that at this point… right now in that particular part of town they don’t have the surveillance that’s necessary.’

Paul now has to arrange a funeral for his daughter.

“As a parent, I should never have to plan a funeral for my child. My mother shouldn’t have to be involved in a funeral for her grandchild,” he said. “This is just heartbreaking.”

The Louisiana State University senior was found in her bullet-riddled car in Baton Rouge after partying with friends at a bar on Government Street less than five minutes from where she died.

It is believed that she was trying to turn by the tracks when she was shot through her windshield multiple times.

Friends and family have laid flowers and their favorite snacks for her on the street where she was shot, and also placed a cross with her face on a telephone pole.

Rice’s aunt, Susie Rice Granier, described the young woman as a “free spirit” and said she loves to sing and dance

The student had been out with friends before the shooting and got stuck behind a train just a few miles from campus when she was killed

Rice had been waiting for a passing train to exit the intersection when she was shot and suffered wounds to her arm and chest.

Authorities discovered several bullet casings near her vehicle, as well as fast food on her lap, but nothing was stolen from her car.

Baton Rouge Police are investigating the shooting, and Chief Murphy Paul said after the incident: “I just left the scene before I came here.

“Our detectives are out there searching the area. Much of the investigative effort that takes place behind the scenes. Very sad. Very sad.’

Her family is appealing to police for answers and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Rice had worked as a bartender at The Shed BBQ in Baton Rouge where she worked with her two brothers (pictured together).

Her parents are asking anyone with information to come forward to help the police with their investigation

Sergeant L’Jean McKneely of Baton Rouge Police added: “Chief Paul has been working hard to get the camera surveillance systems up and running, we have that downtown, trying to push it and get it into the main corridors of Baton Rouge bring. Florida Street, Government Street.”

East Baton Rouge Mayor and Community President Sharon Weston Broome added, “My heart goes out to the family, loved ones and classmates of Allison Rice, a young LSU student with her whole life ahead of her.

“This senseless violence is totally unacceptable and Baton Rouge Police Officers are investigating thoroughly to bring the perpetrator to justice.

“Our university community is an integral part of the fabric of Baton Rouge. As we welcome students from our state and across the nation, it is paramount that we create a safe environment.’

Rice’s death is the 74th this year in the East Baton Rouge community and comes after a series of crimes against LSU students.

On August 19, another student was shot dead in an attempted robbery, and just days later, two separate kidnapping incidents occurred on campus.

According to the FBI, Baton Rouge has one of the highest homicide rates in Louisiana.

Anyone with information regarding this shooting is urged to contact the Violent Crime Unit at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.
