Overview
- At the academy’s academic year opening, president Verònica Cantó described 2025 as one of its most difficult periods and urged the regional government to respect its statutory autonomy.
- Science minister Diana Morant announced a €198,000 transfer this year approved by royal decree and pledged €330,000 for next year to keep the institution operating.
- Valencia provincial vice president Natàlia Enguix (Ens Uneix) previously committed €200,000 from the Diputación to help offset the shortfall.
- The event doubled as a partisan showcase, with left-leaning parties vying to display support after PP and Vox-driven budget cuts that Vox figures had framed as a bid to “strangle” the AVL.
- Regional education chief José Antonio Rovira accused Morant of politicizing the ceremony and not defending the ‘valenciano’ denomination separate from ‘catalán’, citing a TSJCV-backed family language-choice model, 340,000 participating families, a 99.8% placement rate, and a proposal to let PAU candidates select the higher of Spanish or Valencian exam scores.
