Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Danone, Pascual... and now McDonald's and Starbucks. The two food companies have been the latest to receive pressure from platforms financed by the Generalitat to offer their content in Catalan. Specifically, they are required to include the regional language on their websites in Spain. As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the Plataforma per la Llegua , a Catalan organization that has the support of the Government of Artur Mas, has sent, together with the group of independent webmasters in Catalan (WICCAC), requests to the two North American companies to create a Catalan version of its website in Spain. In their arguments, they assure that this change in their log is necessary for two companies that have established themselves in Catalonia. Furthermore, they affirm that, with that language ( "one of the 100 most spoken in the world and fourteenth in the EU ") the needs of 10 million Catalan-speakers would be covered. In addition, he gives as examples other multinational companies that use Catalan in new technologies. Specifically, it cites Goofle, Ryanair, Nestlé, Danone, Google, Facebook, Carrefour, Samsung and Sony .
Business reactions Neither of the two companies that have received this request are going to adapt their website in Spain to include Catalan, as requested by the Platform for Language. --In the case of McDonald's , the fast food company affirms that, today, there is already a Phone Number List blog for the brand in Catalonia, with the domain .cat. On this website, users can print coupons and be informed of the products for sale. Therefore, McDonald understands that there is no need to adapt the website created for the entire Spanish territory. -- Starbucks , for its part, assures that "it is currently not known that the corporate website should be translated into Catalan." If this is the case, they explain, “it will be assessed and acted upon, always thinking about the local customer.”José María del Nido is living his first hours in prison, after his voluntary admission this morning to the 'Sevilla I' prison facilities. A medium-sized prison without major security measures in which several well-known faces have already served their sentences. The former president of Sevilla FC . He entered the penitentiary center on his own foot this morning to serve his seven-year prison sentence for the 'Minutas' case , due to irregularities in the assignments made to the lawyer by the Marbella City Council (Málaga).
The prison, in a municipality very close to the capital of Seville, consists of 778 cells and 117 complementary cells . Built in 1988 , it is not equipped with great security measures and is usually used for prisoners between the second and third degree. Many famous faces have passed through his cells, among them the dancer Farruquito – for a crime of homicide and failure to provide assistance – or Rafael Medina Fernández de Córdoba, Duke of Feria. Some of those convicted in the 'Arny' case also passed. Currently, the media already has its spotlight on these penitentiary facilities since it is there where the son of the bullfighter José Ortega Cano is serving his sentence , for a crime of armed robbery. Even experts in judicial matters venture that this same prison will be where Ortega Cano could enter in the event that his request for clemency is rejected and a judge orders his imprisonment. Something predictable since the Government seems to rule out granting pardons , as reported just two weeks ago by El Confidencial Digital.
