Written by Jack Guy, CNNA writer hired to translate Amanda Gorman's poem "The Hill We Climb" into Catalan said he has been removed from the position by publisher Univers. CNN has also contacted Gorman's publisher, Viking Studio, and its parent company, Penguin, for comment. Obiols told CNN that he thought the decision to revoke his commission was down to the pressure of US social movements. Gorman retweeted Rijneveld's tweet revealing the commission, but Rijneveld said they had handed back the assignment three days later. Meulenhoff said it understood Rijneveld's decision and was looking for a new team to translate Gorman's work.
