WELSH language campaigners have called on the Welsh government to protect policies to safeguard the future of the language.

The call by Cymdeithas yr Iaith (the Welsh Language Society) followed Plaid Cymru’s decision to withdraw from the co-operation agreement with the Welsh government because of concerns about donations totalling £200,000 to the First Minister from a convicted criminal.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith deputy chairman Dafydd Williams said: “We call on the Welsh government to declare their intention to adhere to policy commitments relating to the Welsh language and to prove that the future of the language and our communities remain at the heart of its vision.
