- Hr. formand, det galiciske sprog er et af de ældste romanske sprog, der har overlevet i århundreder uden institutionel beskyttelse takket være dets borgeres vilje, indtil det spanske demokrati anerkendte dets officielle karakter og borgernes ret til at anvende det.
– Mr President, the Galician language is one of the oldest Romance languages. It survived for centuries with no institutional protection, thanks to the will of its citizens, until democratic Spain recognised its official status and its right to be used by the citizens.
