Catalan language revival fuels backlash in Spain

A dog wears a pro-independence Catalan flag as Catalan separatists formed a human chain to mark Catalunya's National Day in central Barcelona

By Fiona Ortiz CORNELLA DE LLOBREGAT Spain (Reuters) – Francesca Munoz, the principal at Sant Miquel primary school near Barcelona, is fighting a linguistic crusade that has fuelled a remarkable recovery of the local Catalan tongue – and of the region’s secessionist movement. For 30 years, public schools in Spain’s Catalonia region have taught most subjects in Catalan, not the national Castilian Spanish language. There are now some 10 million Catalan speakers in or near the region bordering France and the Mediterranean, putting the language in a league with Swedish and Greek after it was repressed under the 1939-1975 dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Such is the strength of the Catalan renaissance that it is prompting a backlash among some parents concerned their children are getting short-changed on Spanish, the world’s second-most spoken language by native speakers after Mandarin.

Kuwaiti police use tear gas to disperse protesters in Kuwait City

By Sami Aboudi DUBAI (Reuters) – The Kuwaiti government has threatened to revoke the citizenship of people suspected of trying to “undermine the stability” of the oil-rich monarchy, local media reported on Tuesday. The warning is part of an “iron fist” policy adopted by the cabinet on Monday night, following protests earlier this month over the arrest of a prominent opposition politician. “The Interior Ministry is assigned to take all measures that are necessary to ensure the presence of the conditions and requirements provided for by Kuwaiti citizenship law number 15 of 1959, both in form and spirit, and especially in relation to the practices aimed at undermining security and stability,” the cabinet said in a statement carried by state news agency KUNA. Kuwaiti political analyst Shamlan Alessa said the measure was aimed at naturalised Kuwaitis who have joined the opposition.

Yesterday, late in the evening something unusual struck into the news. It wasn’t the storm or a terrorist attack. But it was the first look poster of the forthcoming biopic ‘Mary Kom‘ released by the leading lady of the film, Priyanka Chopra that made the headlines.

Priyanka Chopra tweeted, “Heart. Blood. Sweat. Soul, I’ve given it my all. Over to you guys now! #MaryKomFirstLook #FightLikeAGirl ..here goes.”, while releasing the first look posters.

Directed by Omung Kumar, the film will take us to the various modes of Olympic medal winner Mary Kom’s life.
