Miguel Fern\u00e1ndez de los Ronderos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDe haber sido redactado por alguien especializado en el protocolo diplom\u00e1tico -alg\u00fan funcionario perteneciente al ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, por ejemplo-, el documento que hoy nos ocupa habr\u00eda merecido, al menos, la valoraci\u00f3n del\u00a0 envoltorio. Para mayor claridad, hemos resaltado en rojo \/ azul las modificaciones que estimamos pertinentes, a la vista de las cuales bien podr\u00eda deducirse que el espa\u00f1ol del Honorable es -mal que le pueda pesar- infinitamente mejor que el ingl\u00e9s de ‘su’ Generalitat.<\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Algunas de las ‘correcciones’ que se han publicado incurren,\u00a0 ellas tambi\u00e9n, en el error. Veamos: el presidente Mas no tutea a la canciller cuando se dirige a ella como Dear Chancellor, pues Dear Sir\/Madam son expresiones de cortes\u00eda epistolar (‘Muy se\u00f1or\/se\u00f1ora m\u00edo\/m\u00eda). Tampoco hay error en el uso de developments (turns of events), que han de traducirse por ‘acontecimientos, novedades, cambios de situaci\u00f3n’, como en la frase: The latest developments caused problems in the negotiations. S\u00ed acierta, en cambio, la cr\u00edtica cuando afirma que, siguiendo criterios de urbanidad, jam\u00e1s debe empezarse una carta con un “Yo”. En cuanto a las fechas, es indistinto escribir 9 November 2014 o November 9, 2014.<\/p>\n

Dear Chancellor, \/ Dear Madam,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wanted\/ The purpose of my letter is to let you know personally about the latest very important developments in Catalonia. On 12 December \/ On December 12, political parties representing sixty-five per cent of the Parliament of Catalonia agreed to hold a referendum on the future of Catalonia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Contrary to some reports, there are a number of legal and constitutional options which allow this referendum to take place in Catalonia. We have identified \/ at least \/ five of those ways at least, and I have written to the government of Spain outlining them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We seek dialogue and agreement with the government of Spain on the future of our country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am confident that I can rely on you \/ Your Excellency \/ to encourage the peaceful, democratic, transparent, and European process to which \/ I and \/ a vast majority of the Catalan people are fully committed.<\/p>\n
