Overview

  • The inaugural congress will take place on October 21–22 at La Beneficència, with former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero as the featured guest.
  • Organizers list expected international participants including UN special rapporteur Bernard Duhaime and the director of Trieste’s concentration‑camp museum, described as first‑time visits to Valencia.
  • The program is structured in three blocks with a youth‑focused segment featuring political scientist Alan Barroso and an academic debate in collaboration with the Xarxa Vives network.
  • First vice‑president Natàlia Enguix presents the event as advancing principles of truth, justice, reparation and non‑repetition, positioning the Diputación’s memory policy against extremist influence.
  • With PP holding the presidency and Ens Uneix managing the memory portfolio, Enguix signals a budget strategy that seeks PSPV and Compromís support over Vox and keeps proroguing the expansive 2025 accounts on the table.
