October 9 is Valencian Community Day; For all Valencians, wherever they live in the Community, this is our day. We celebrate and commemorate our own history. We remind ourselves of our own memories. It’s an important day for consensusIn order to consolidate and consolidate the origin of the expression of festivity, meeting and harmony of a whole people walking throughout recent history, Autonomy StatusIt is nothing more than “the democratic will of the people of Valencia and their right to self-government.”

Democratic Will and Self-Government. From my point of view, two concepts form the framework that forms the basis of our work. historical evolution process. Democratic will is the free expression that gives rise to self-knowledge. What do we want and how do we want it? Our will is born free and based on the values ​​of democracy. With all the conceptual baggage that this entails. Self-government is understood as an organizational model that allows us to strengthen our democracy and achieve the goals of recognition of our faculties.

Everyone lives this day the way they think and see the best. But it is a fact festive and corporate character It encourages us to share and live with different options for celebration and recognition. I’m not so sure that this festival was the will of King Jaume I the Conqueror when he entered the city of Valencia in 1938. Or if? I don’t know. In fact, the commemoration of the holiday develops later and is institutionalized and transferred to the rest of the region. Imagine for a moment Conqueror I enter the city of Valencia. I don’t know what he was thinking, but I think he was aware that the rest of the region was not yet conquered, and so it was. After the date, this would not be possible until 1851, when Requena and Utiel were incorporated and structured into the territorial extension of our present Community.

I love History in general, especially the times when it is close and often happens more often than we think, because if you pay attention to it you realize that nothing can go unnoticed. In this sense, the democratic quality of a society is related to its own structure. History and this has a lot to do with the knowledge of the values ​​that constitute it. That is, social will, the choice of democracy as a model of political organization, and self-government as a goal that should be expanded throughout the region. When this is not the case, we can look at ourselves and ask: Where are we in this story? Will we forget that King Jaume entered Valencia and had much to conquer? That wouldn’t be good.

It is supported by the democratic system and common sense that we did not have during the conquest period. There would be more to go. But we are in a period where we remember that we are a country full of differences and that this enriches us and makes us better. Differences should only unite us and remind us of how urgent it is to escape all centralism. By any species, I mean any species, including those both distant and close to our Community. You, dear readers, already understand me, woe to those clichés that plague us, woe to those clichés that we give up in order to differentiate ourselves from what has always been different and should continue to be different! This is where our wealth lies Society: length and width, South and North, Mountain and Sea and…

It shouldn’t be our choice to indulge in pathetic complaints, and I’m not in favor of shouting at the heavens. We’d better settle worldly matters here and stop seeking any other form of consolation. In short, it is true that we have many steps to take and a long way to go. Our own history shows us that nothing can be erased with the stroke of a pen. Of course not.

We are in a period where the concept has emerged. Quality and Democratic Memory disappears from our learning. It is true that it has many meanings and that it represents more than the domains that we allocate and limit to it, and that it represents many conceptual domains. Therefore, let us not be afraid to assert what we stand for and what we want to continue to represent on behalf of our Community.

I said at the beginning that this holiday should be lived and celebrated in the best way possible by everyone. We will do this from the south as well. In particular, respect, tolerance, recognition, equality and integration as reflected in the constitutional framework that supports us. Autonomy Statute, He recently turned 40. Therefore, congratulations to all people who always know how to know and understand each other. Don’t let anything or anyone set us back. Let nothing and no one overshadow our legitimate differences. Let nothing and no one interfere with our way of being.

D. Innerarity says in his book: pandemocracy¨The existence of more than one point of view on the same subject does not exempt us from the obligation to choose the most important one in each case¨. It means doing or not doing right, taking action or not taking action, deciding or not making a decision, and in this, history is made.
