Reclaim the spirit shaped by agreement, respect and diversity “against the attacks on free culture, the official disdain for Valencians, the breakdown of unity in the face of sexist violence, the institutional denial of the climate emergency and the disruptions of climate change.” Dignity and coexistence of Valencian society”. This is the claim made by PSPV in its corporate statement presented in its educational agenda for this holiday in Corts on 9 October.
The party’s general secretary is surrounded by many deputies from the regional parliament as well as representatives from Congress and the Senate. Ximo Puig, He read the educational manifesto for the Valencian Community Day celebrations. In this context, socialists consider it “more necessary than ever” to demand that Valencian institutions “preserve, defend and promote their own language and culture and consider these as the heritage of all Valencians.”
There is clear criticism of the current Consell de PP and Vox in the text. Socialists show their “concern” about “attacks on free culture,” “official humiliation of Valencians,” or “the breakdown of unity in the face of sexist violence.” Hence the call to revive “the spirit shaped by agreement, respect and diversity” and the demand for “respect”: “Respect for culture. Respect for Valencia. Respect for the charter. Respect for diversity. Respect for women. Respect for the planet.” “Respect for the constitution and respect for the real Spain of Spain.”
“The dream of 1238 (the year when the Kingdom of Valencia was founded by Jaume I) is still alive, there are new obstacles, but we have to overcome them,” he says, and eight centuries after the conventions and the first Cortes medieval “and with the perspective gained by time, a historical constant has been reaffirmed: Valencia “The will of its people to live together.” The text states, “And this desire to live together has defined the country of the Valencians throughout modernity. To live together, within the framework of rights and freedoms.”
Beyond the statement, but along the same lines, Puig complained that Consell’s language policy was “very disappointing” and that the brand was “far-right.” In this sense, he criticized the “lack of institutional respect for language” by not using (only Salome Prada’s He spoke in Valencian at the Cortes) and assured that this was “Valencia being driven into a corner”. “This is a lack of institutional respect for the language,” he added.
“An opportunity”
Puig called for “a fairer and more harmonious Spain” in which all cultures and languages of the State would gain institutional normality, public prestige and common respect.” Similarly, in its corporate manifesto, PSPV calls for the defense of “our rights as a people that no war or dictatorship can erase” and He remains committed to a land reform in Spain “to be agreed upon without fear and in a federal spirit.”
Regarding this, Valencian socialists have shown themselves to be in favor of autonomous agreements “based on harmony between regions, agreed upon without selfishness – neither central nor peripheral – and guided by generosity and cooperation that are fairer, more supportive and provide better harmony”: “For Valencians “this is the opportunity to ensure fair regional financing, guarantee water forever and accelerate the Mediterranean corridor”; these needs will “strengthen social and territorial cohesion and push us towards new frontiers of prosperity”.
