MPs from far-right Vox stage walkout in protest at recognition of co-official languages
Spanish MPs have been able to address congress in Basque, Catalan and Galician for the first time after the country’s Socialist-led caretaker government agreed to smaller parties’ demands for the the three regional languages to be granted official parliamentary status.
The move, which will be the subject of a formal vote on Thursday, has been welcomed by some parties but criticised by the conservative People’s party and the far-right Vox party. MPs from the latter party signalled their displeasure by leaving their newly issued earpieces on Sánchez’s seat – the acting prime minister is attending UN meetings in New York – and marching out of the chamber.
