Carlos Mazón

debuted this summer as president of the PP of the Valencian Community meeting with the heads of the Royal Academy of Valencian Culture (RACV) and Lo Rat Penat.

These two entities contrary to the unity of the Catalan language are located in the antipodes of the statutory and official Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua (AVL), which defends the consideration that Valencian and Catalan are two names for the same language.

It was only a first gesture of the new stage that has opened in the party, which strongly recovers the discourse of the defense of Valencian signs of identity -when the Generalitat governed, it even approved a law- and that has given so many benefits in last.

In this strategy of ingratiating himself with the Valencian regionalist vote, Mazón's explicit criticism of the AVL for being politicized has been followed this summer by complaints against a museum that presented the Valencian

Sorolla

as a Catalan painter or against a magazine that referred to

Tabarca

as an island Catalan instead of Alicante. And, along with each complaint, criticism of the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, for not "raising his voice to defend the signs of identity" or the "valencianía" of authors and enclaves.

"It is now good to tolerate the annexationist and culturally expropriating anxieties of the Catalan Generalitat", said

María José Ferrer San Segundo

, the head of the PP for Territory, Community and Culture.

The return to the debate on the signs of identity, which had a special section in the political presentation of the congress that elevated Mazón in July, also serves the PP to place the Consell in the orbit of Catalanism.

Valencian interests

And, in fact, the very leader of the

Valencian

popular

has lashed out hard at the idea

of Puig's

Commonwealth

as a Mediterranean counterweight to the power of Madrid.

In the words of Mazón, a simple proposal to "take steps in favor of a colonial system dependent on Catalonia" in which the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands would be "subordinate".

This speech runs parallel to the criticism of the null defense of Valencian interests in Madrid by the Consell del Botànic, which has not managed to stop the cut-off of the Tajo-Segura transfer by the Government of Spain or has not yet managed to to force the Ministry of Finance to carry out a new regional financing system that alleviates the under-financing of the Valencian Community.

In this sense, the

popular ones

have proposed to take the flag of financing and no one rules out that in the autumn they may lead a demonstration against the Government of Pedro Sánchez in the autumn.

The new 'popular' Valencianism

There are few issues in the Valencian Community that today generate more political and social consensus than that of financing: defending Valencian interests necessarily involves defending a change in regional financing.

Mazón insists again and again that the PP will be a Valencian party that even puts the interests of the Valencian Community before those of the party itself, which is what Puig does not do now with the Sánchez Government, according to the thesis also of the

popular

.

The new Valencianism of the PP tried to synthesize itself in an image in the last autonomous congress: that of the leader Pablo Casado waving the Senyera, the Valencian flag.
