Almost a year has passed since the cold drop in the Valencian Country, with management questioned and judicially investigated, but the silence has become a reprehensible complicity, according to some grassroots Christian groups consulted by ARA. The Valencian Church has also not promoted Valencian in masses and, in particular, in the liturgy, despite the promise of the Archbishop of Valencia, Enric Benavent. It remains residual and there are hardly any changes in the use of the language compared to the regime of Francisco Franco. In fact, Benavent spoke out this Thursday about the cold drop, calling for "fighting so that the common good is more important than our ideas" and on other occasions he had called for "unity" and not "instrumentalizing" suffering and misfortune, but without going into management.</p>]]></description>
