Matthew Tree is a teacher and British writer who has always been openly sympathetic to the independence claims of a large sector of the population of Catalonia and maintains a close link with the defenders of this cause.
Catalan nationalism is one of the thorniest issues of the Spanish today. the issue has caused a great division in this historic region, it is why a recent video appeared on YouTube , which features the British, has attracted much attention in Spain.
the material was released by the channel YouTube Dolça Catalunya, an organization that independence is opposed, and shows a Tree going to a group of students from Erasmus EU program .
“My personal perception is that when I go to Spain to Catalonia, Spain is really another country,” mentioned repeatedly Tree, which sought to clarify that cultural and linguistic differences are substantial. The speaker also mentioned the fact that two people to communicate in Catalan in other regions of Spain is frowned upon.
After his talk, he proceeded to a round of questions and a student involved and put Tree in trouble when making a challenge. “When I first came to Barcelona I did not notice that such a drastic change from the rest of Spain and Barcelona, how can we explain it? If it’s such a different culture, why it is not so obvious at first sight? “Asks the young.
The first difference cited by the teacher is the language, but when the time came list other differences, things were complicated for him because failed to give a clear answer. The video currently around 100 thousand reproductions YouTube and the comments section has led to angry discussions.
