While Catalan speakers in Spain have recognised linguistic rights, it is by no means a rare occurrence for these rights to be infringed by public administrations. In this report, Plataforma per la Llengua brings together 26 cases in which Catalan-speaking citizens have been subjected to serious linguistic discrimination at the hands of the Spanish public authorities in 2017.

The reports on linguistic discrimination prepared on a regular basis by Plataforma per la Llengua show that infringements of the rights of Catalan speakers in Spain are not isolated or marginal cases, and that discriminatory treatment of these citizens is a system problem which the Spanish authorities must acknowledge and eradicate.
