I am becoming a one man rent a mob! Today, I went to lend my support to two young people who stood behind what looked like bullet proof glass at the Canolfan Cyfiawnder/Justice Centre (?) in Aberystwyth. I think it's the posh term for law courts. They were the Chair and former Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg and it was an honour to be in the presence of such principled people. Sitting in front of the Royal Seal with the Latin Inscription 'Dieu et Mon Droit' the three justices of the peace who all spoke Welsh, listened, it has to be said 'sympathetically' to the cause presented before them. I am writing this Blog post in English so as to reach a wider audience. This was a wake up call to Carwyn Jones First Minister of Wales. We are waiting for him to make an announcement on 6 Policy Changes.
We have challenged the Welsh Government to deliver six policy changes in response to the crisis shown by the Census results and ensure the Welsh language grows and strengthens over the years ahead.
2. Tegwch Ariannol i'r Gymraeg / Fair Funding for Welsh
3. Gweinyddu'n fewnol yn Gymraeg / Make Welsh the language of work
4. Safonau Iaith i Greu Hawliau Clir / Clear Language Rights
6. Y Gymraeg yn greiddiol i Ddatblygu Cynaliadwy / Welsh central to Sustainable Development
For more information on our detailed policies read our Maniffesto Byw (Living Manifesto)
Robin & Bethan did not enter a plea regarding the charges levelled against them and have to appear before the Royal Seal again on Friday 1st August at 10.00am.
