Brief description:
Jorge Buxadé, VOX Member of the European Parliament elected in 2019, and the spokesperson for VOX, wrote a hateful tweet about a Red Cross campaign that used Catalan as a language of integration for newcomers:
"When linguistic apartheid masquerades as solidarity, Red Cross is collaborating with the henchmen of the cultural dictatorship. They tell their collaborators to spread the Catalan language by addressing the needy in Catalan, even if they do not understand it. All in order in the Gulag."
