<br>Greets from Bergen, Norway, <br>Diederik<br><br><strong>3. Extra: Eric en het Leger van de Feniks<br><br></strong>Enkele
jaren geleden schreef de veertienjarige Catalaan Eric Bertran een brief
naar enkele Spaanse bedrijven met de vraag of deze hun websites en
producten niet ook in het Catalaans wilden aanbieden. Omdat Eric een
fan is van Harry Potter, ondertekende hij met 'Eric en het Leger van de
Feniks', naar een van de boektitels van de Potterreeks. Enkele dagen
later stormden twintig Spaanse politieagenten het huis van de familie
Bertran binnen, op zoek naar bewijzen van terrorisme. Over de
jarenlange strijd die volgde tussen de jonge Catalaan en de Spaanse
overheid is een documentaire gemaakt, die in zijn geheel te zien is op
de videowebsite YouTube.<br><br>Video 'Eric and the Army of the Phoenix': </font><a style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" href="http://nieuwsbrief.taalpost.nl/r/tp.plx?2146-700" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br><br>Hey! That YouTube video is absolutely fascinating. Thanks for the tip. I strongly recommend that everyone watch it (<span style="font-weight: bold;">all</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">four </span>parts of it, in Catalan with English subtitles) and be reminded that language preservation, loyalty and assertion is not just a frivolous hobby thing, that it still is a thorn in the side of many countries, especially in Europe.
<br><br>(I have a mental picture of our Mike Wintzer hopping with excitement while watching the video.)<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
