The mayoress of Valencia, María José Catalá, explained that, despite the ruling of the Valencian Language Academy (AVL) known on Saturday, which defends that the unique form with the open accent of the toponym of the city must be maintained, the consistory will move forward with the request to modify the denomination to include a bilingual version with Valencia in Castilian and a secessionist Valencian formula, Valéncia.

"The arithmetic is what it is" and "all options are open." The last two statements by the now ex-Vox councillor at Valencia City Hall, Cecilia Herrero, who confirmed on Monday that she is moving to the non-affiliated group, open up an unprecedented scenario in the Valencian council, given that her departure means that the current PP and Vox government team is left in the minority. Her farewell joins that of her partner, councillor Juanma Badenas, who was removed by the far-right party last week while he is being investigated for an alleged case of corruption.
