Dear Catalan friends,

A couple of weeks ago I learned that a Catalan citizen who wrote a letter to the European Commission in Catalan, was answered by Spanish official of the "Unit for Reception and Referral of Official Documents" Mr Gabriel Sánchez Rodríguez in Latvian. I sent a letter to the Directorate-General for the Presidency of the European Parliament, asking for an explanation for this seemingly insulting behaviour. Below you will find the official response I received.
