“"April 25 has arrived, remembering the defeat of Almansa, the loss of our charters, the dismantling of our institutions, and the beginning of a process of linguistic substitution and political subordination. A wound that explains us and is part of our collective history, but which also serves as a starting point, because València does not forget. And no one will stop the advance of the maulets."

Image of a symbolic flame held up by hands in a crowd at a night concert.
The flame of the Correllengua Agermanat concluded its journey at La Gossa Sorda's concert in Picassent, after participating in the large April 25 demonstration in València.
This event marked a historic day, where the flame illuminated the performance of the group from Pego in front of 15,000 people, creating an atmosphere of celebration and cultural affirmation.
Members of the Correllengua went on stage to offer the flame to the crowd, who received it with cheers, lights, and an ovation. Representatives highlighted the importance of the flame's arrival in the Cap i Casal, the capital of the País Valencià, emphasizing that the city "will always maintain its open accent" and that "València has received it with the strength of an entire people in motion".
Furthermore, Correllengua representatives warned about the complicated situation the Valencian language faces in much of the territory, despite the affection and strength of its speakers, constantly receiving attacks and disdain. They concluded with a clear message: "We have responded collectively and clearly. The Països Catalans love our language and will defend it whenever necessary, now and always".
