Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pushed for this request in response to pressure from Catalan separatists, who he relied on for support after failing to win the July elections.
The EU, currently having 24 official languages, is concerned about the legal, administrative, and budgetary implications of adding new languages.
