I'm not sure you really understans wath the Fair means for my country (Catalan Lands -that includes Catalonia, Balearic Islans, el País Valencià, NOrthern Catalonia, Andorra and l'Alguer).
You have to think that, for instance, in France catalana language has been aparted from official circles, and that, for instance int the tiny village of Alghero people who speaks in catalan has realy problems living in that town. For 300 years Spain and France had been battleing to make catalan desapeare. So, for us Frankfurt is a windows to the world. Nothing else, nothing more.
