Catalan pro-independence sectors have asked the Parliament of Catalonia to throw out a waitress from Cuenca who has been working in the Catalan chamber since 2009, for having appeared on TV3 speaking in Spanish.

The woman from Cuenca, who is called Amparo Izquierdo and is a native of Las Pedroñeras, declared to the regional chain that she has been working in the Catalan hemicycle restaurant since 2009, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"There have been very important days like 15M, where we had to do everything, where there were colleagues who had to enter with the van that brought bread, and then there are September 5 and 6 two years ago that I also remember how difficult - in reference to when the law of disconnection was voted -, declared the worker.

These words have outraged Catalan pro-independence sectors, who have not hesitated to ask through social networks "to throw her out on the streets."

In this way, the twitter user Jaume Bip wrote that "if he does not want to speak Catalan and despises the language of the land, let them throw it out on the streets."

Another user also attacked the Cuenca woman, claiming that "in Catalonia they have to be ashamed to speak Spanish. It must be made clear that Spanish is the language of the misfits, of the rabble, of the dirtiest part of society , of those who live in ghettos, of foreigners. "

He concluded his tweet by assuring that "normalizing colonization cannot be allowed."

Several parliamentarians have spoken with El Español, information collected by Europa Press, and have explained to said medium that Las Pedroñeras "has always attended the deputies with great kindness and without caring about anyone's political bias."

He has ensured that this has been done in both Spanish and Catalan "thanks to its bilingual nature".

"She is a nice girl, humble, hard-working and with a wonderful attitude. She is always smiling, talks to us and has a super close relationship," this same source abounds.

The former Unió deputy between 2010 and 2012 Roger Montañola has assured that Amparo "speaks Catalan and Spanish, and that is the wealth of Catalonia", after which he has criticized the campaign of harassment suffered by the waitress on social networks.

"They are bored and frustrated people. There is a populist movement within the procés that does not represent the independence movement, that combines frustration and that maximizes the national-patriotic", reflects Montañola.

On the other hand, different deputies demand that the Generalitat of Catalonia stand up to criticism to "show their explicit support for a hard-working, humble, responsible person who has worked for more than a decade in the Parliament of Catalonia; many times until the wee hours. "

"He does not deserve a lynching, but a recognition for the work he has been doing in the Parliament for a decade. Everyone is very fond of him," says another deputy of the Parliament.
