Overview

• At a Plataforma per la Llengua forum in Valencia, speakers urged abandoning an Estado‑nación approach for now due to hostility toward Catalan/Valencian in parts of the Valencian Community.
• Participants, including Xavier Serra and Josep Escribano, called for a ‘minority mentality’ that strengthens identity, builds everyday spaces for use, and adapts policy to local demographics and economics.
• The forum criticized the Botànic government’s plurilingual school model as a self‑inflicted setback and framed the PP’s percentage‑based rules under Carlos Mazón’s education law as a consequence of that policy.
• A Levante‑EMV opinion column reports that President Carlos Mazón has threatened to convert the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua into an ‘Acadèmia de la Llengua Valenciana’, a change that would intensify institutional‑symbolic conflict.
• The same column contrasts a royal‑presided national university opening in Valencia on September 30 with a separate University of Barcelona ceremony a week later without the king to illustrate divergent symbolic treatment.
