The President confirmed on Monday the “academic and scientific” authority of the Valencian Language Academy (AVL)thus, for the first time, he rejected his government partner, as well as Education Minister José Antonio Rovira (PP), who gave wings to Vox’s theory. Likewise, the head of the body called Verònica Cantó for a meeting in two weeks at which he would ask for greater clarity on all linguistic currents.
Apart from these future negotiations with AVL, Mazón also wanted to send a clear call to Vox to place an order. while pointing at the same view The Generalitat “expresses itself in its official communications in accordance with the rules of the Academy”. Second vice-president Susana Camarero spoke in the same vein on Tuesday, saying the dispute was “resolved”.
Vox doesn’t give up, but also avoids disobedience
However Vox doesn’t seem willing to give up on something so quicklyThe identity that plays a fundamental role in the creation of AVL and combines different sensitivities within itself, demanded from Valencia PP, where they do not have to walk with the forelegs, which is quite profitable in terms of choice. At Vox the situation is clear and, as almost always, unitary: Valencian and Catalan are two different languages, and the “real” Valencian language is “one of the Puig standards” as Massó puts it.
So some things The far-right balances out not to violate Mazón’s order to write under the law and at the same time not get off the donkey and, to the delight of their loyalists, they did not recognize the authority of the AVL, and stuck to their weapons. The formula is simple: Vox chose to broadcast its corporate communications only in Spanish, avoiding the Valencian language and again breaking the law.
Slap on the wrist of Consell’s head in relation to the use of non-regulatory Valencia The incident occurred on Monday, and since then, none of the three ministries Vox has written has written a single word in Valencian. Neither Culture nor Justice nor Agriculture used the language of autonomy required by the Valencian language usage law.. This provides in its 18th article that “all publications” of the autonomous administration “will be written or published in at least Valencian language”, regardless of their support.
This new strategy is observed when looking at the social media posts of the official accounts of these three Vox departments at Consell. Vicente Barrera, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Culture, has only posted one message on his X account, formerly Twitter, since Mazón’s statements. In Spanish only, this reflects the “reception held in Palau after the Spanish Rhythmic Gymnastics team’s spectacular performance at the Gymnastics World Cup held in Valencia and qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games”.
Department of Agriculture, which caused a language fire by tweeting against the regulation in Valencia on 23 AugustSince then silence reigned. The message was replaced by another (again incorrectly) and there was no broadcast in the following five days, until this Tuesday. The official account of the José Luis Aguirre region published two messages yesterday; one of them was to convey his condolences on the death of Ricardo Císcar, the founder of Dacsa, and the other was to give information about the minister’s meeting with the fishermen’s associations. Two of them were only in Spanish.
More interesting is the case of Elisa Núñez’s Ministry of Justice. He also joined the way of ignoring the Valencian with his two tweets yesterday.On his account, you can read the normative Valencian language communications in retweets from the Emergency account, which socialist José María Ángel continues to lead against his will. “We still don’t have a press officer, so we continue to tweet as usual,” sources from that department said yesterday.
