The traditional demonstration of April 25 (this year brought forward to avoid coinciding with the May 1 bridge) runs through the streets of Valencia this Saturday in an atmosphere of partying and vindication. The march, organized by Acció Cultural to commemorate the defeat in the battle of Almansa that ended with the repeal of Els Furs, is headed by the motto Horitzó PaÃs Valencià and calls for deepening the social and democratic rights of the Valencian Community.
To the sound of the tabalet and the dolçaina, entities, associations and parties parade in a demonstration with an obvious political content; even more so, just over a month before the municipal and regional elections are held, where a multitude of progressive city councils and the Botà nic Executive are at stake.
Hundreds of people have seconded the call in which greater self-government is defended and pro-independence slogans are heard. In the previous hours, various homage acts have been held for Guillem Agulló, the young anti-fascist from Burjassot who was assassinated 30 years ago in the town of Montanejos by an extreme right-wing group.
When the demonstration ends, a show that combines culture and activism is scheduled, organized by PRO21 in the Plaza de Toros de València. Groups such as Marala, La Fúmiga, Jazzwoman, Maluks, Colomet, Diluvi, Esther, Cor Dona Veu and the exceptional performance of the singers from La Gossa Sorda, Josep Nadal and Àlex Seguà who will return to sing some of the songs will take to the stage. songs of the legendary music group in Valencian.
