On 27 August this year, the state-funded Catalan TV3 broadcast a children's programme in which the little girl Kia is playfully frightened. In itself, it is a harmless affair and the villain is a man dressed up as an octopus, as is typical for the country.
Unfortunately, I only found out about this event now. However, it is worth watching the document published on Youtube, which lasts only 45 seconds, because it makes the daily indoctrination of the separatists very clear.
I have translated the short play dialogue in the following text, there is also the link to the recording of the children's programme (Programa infantil) with the heading: „El malo habla en español“ (The bad guy speaks Spanish).
Knock, knock, knock!* In the original version, the speaker says "Castellano". Castellano is a common name in Spain for the language that is considered Spanish worldwide.
The girl: „Who is it?“
Octopus: „Kia, you have to open the door!“
The girl gestures to open a door.
The octopus speaks in an acted threatening voice: „HA HA HA, I am the giant octopus and I have come to eat the princess!“
and, turning to the camera, continues:
„I speak in Spanish* because it makes me sound more evil.“
