Overview

  • For the first time since 1994, the 25 d’Abril institutional ceremony in Les Corts Valencianes was canceled by Vox, with support from the PP, citing political polarization and recent natural disasters.
  • The Diputación de Valencia hosted an alternative event, with broad political representation except for Vox, to reaffirm the importance of Valencian self-government and historical identity.
  • Compromís has introduced a bill in Les Corts to formally repeal the 1707 Decretos de Nueva Planta, which abolished Valencian fueros and centralized Spanish governance under Felipe V.
  • Juristes Valencians is advocating for symbolic measures, such as renaming streets honoring Felipe V, and is lobbying the Spanish Parliament to restore Valencian civil law rights.
  • A symbolic reading of the 25 d’Abril commemoration is scheduled in Les Corts for May 15, as efforts to preserve and strengthen regional autonomy continue across political and civic platforms.
