You are not Brazilian, you are Portuguese. The Spanish law is consequence of big interest in Spanish in Brazil. There are already 6 millions of students learning Spanish in Brazil. The ultimate goal is 50 millions in a decade.
Brazilians might as well just speak Spanish...
No leas esto Ren, que te puede dolar un fuerte dolor de barriga y te llegarán las tripas al techo .
El interés que despierta este idioma es, desde años antes de esta ley, innegable: el 80% de los colegios privados ofrecen ya español,[2] y cerca del 80% de los alumnos prefiere estudiar español antes que inglés ,[3] lo que se ha traducido en que en las universidades la petición del español supere ya al inglés.[4] Parece que esta oferta obligatoria por parte de los institutos se limitará a satisfacer esa «hambre de español» del que se habla en Brasil.

Portuguese is not even an official language of U.N. let alone a "working language". Only English is the working language of U.N. The problem of Portuguese is its similarity to Spanish. Spanish is already official in U.N. so making official Portuguese too renders useless. German as an official language of U.N makes a lot of more sense. I guess that the Brazilians in U.N will end up speaking Spanish given that if there is people who understand them when they speak Portuguese it's because those people already know Spanish. So why not speaking proper Spanish instead of it's cheap cousin?.
Also if you didn't notice the official languages of U.N tend to be the most representative ones of the world:
Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish
Arabic represents the Arabic world and Africa by extension
Chinese represents Asia
Russian represents the Second World ( former communist countries). I guess that if U.N. had to choose official languages nowadays Russian would not be choosen again, but 40 years ago Russian was the language of a superpower and another whole economic system.
French: represents Europe
Spanish: represents Latin America
English: USA and other English speaking areas. Also English is the world lingua franca.
The world is already covered by these languages, there is no room for more.
Also, as you can see there are two Romance languages, adding a third one would be overkill and a whole extravagance given that in Brazil people study Spanish. On the other hand there is only one Germanic language so the Germanic countries would protest because there are so many Romance official languages in U.N and only one Germanic ( even English can't be considered 100% Germanic).

what's up with spanish people referring to new york as nueva york? they too good to use the same word everyone else is? i don't hear french people saying nouveau york lol
Who cares the French people. We say Nueva York because we want to. Why don't you say Nieuw-Amsterdam, the orginal name of the city?.
Nueva York
Nueva Jersey
Carolina del Norte
Virginia Occidental
Filadelfia
etc.
The Spanish language is too sacred to use foreign names when we don't need to.

In proper Portuguese, it would be Nova Iorque, but many fools spell it hybridly. Disgusting, really...

Wrong, Carolina is named after King Charles. It's the feminized version of Charles not hispanized.

Where's Penetra? Why is it that she's not defending the Portuguese language against the onslaught of Hispanics? Didn't she claim that she's pBrazilian?
Something's spinning inside her head that's why she's happy when a Hispanic is making an onslaught against other languages including Portuguese.

Penetra may be Brazilian but she is of Spanish origin, so she is genetically programmed to promote the Spanish language in detriment to the rest ones, no matter if she was raised in a Portuguese (sort of) speaking country.
No point on lowering ourself to the levels of you spics, waste of time. Let you think of your "superiority complex"
