The piece deals with the latest book by Prof. Freixeiro Mato, Idioma e sociedade. Sobre normalización e planificación, published by Laiovento.
The professor reviews in this volume the debates on the matter of language planning, while he reflects on the possibilities that may ensure a decent future for Galician.
In the interview, he shows his favorable opinion on binormativism and on a greater use of the proximity with Portuguese for the benefit of Galician. Prof. Freixeiro soundly asserts that "bilingualism is an intermediate step towards the extinction of the minoritised language".
