The mobilization, which took place in a festive and protest-filled atmosphere, was called by the unions STEPV, CCOO, UGT, and CSIF, with the backing of ANPE and the support of families represented by Fampa València, the Gonzalo Anaya Confederation, and the Student Union. The protests extended throughout the Valencian Community, including Castellón, Alicante, and Elche, with the aim of demanding quality public education from the Ministry of Education, led by Carmen Ortí, and Juanfran Pérez Llorca's Government.
According to data from the Government Delegation, approximately 40,000 people participated in the demonstrations across the Valencian Community. The largest concentration was recorded in the city of Valencia, with over 20,000 demonstrators. In Alicante, 12,000 teachers participated, while in Castelló de la Plana, 5,000 gathered, and in Elche, 2,800.
The protest in Valencia began in Plaza de San Agustín, with the main banner's slogan: 'Enough is enough: less bureaucracy, fewer ratios, more salary, more staff, and more Valencian'. The unions described this mobilization as “historic and unprecedented in education,” and urged the Ministry of Education to negotiate with a “real and effective” proposal that satisfies the demands of public school teachers.
“"We expect a satisfactory proposal from the Ministry for all the issues we are demanding to improve the Valencian education system."
Among the main demands of the teaching staff are the immediate repeal of the Rovira Law, reduced ratios, more resources, less bureaucracy, improved occupational health, and dignified educational infrastructure. They also demand the recovery of cut budgets, as some centers still suffer the consequences of the dana without solutions. Negotiations with the Ministry have been broken since last Friday, when minimum services for second-year Baccalaureate were presented as an unmovable point and a salary increase of 75 euros gross per month over three years, far below the 4,000 to 6,000 euros annually demanded by unions to compensate for the loss of purchasing power since 2007.
