Thousands of Valencians crowded the streets to accompany the Mare de Déu, in an image that reflects the city's unity. Families, young and old, with children on their shoulders, participated in a celebration full of flowers, emotion, and applause, where the entire city beat to the same rhythm around what it feels as its own.

The Virgen de los Desamparados is not just a religious tradition; it represents collective memory, shared identity, and a deeply rooted symbol in the heart of Valencia. It is part of what unites citizens beyond differences, turning the city into a community proud of its history, customs, and roots.

This year, a special feeling was perceived in the streets, with sincere and spontaneous affection towards the mayor, María José Catalá, throughout the procession. This sentiment arises when people feel that their representatives also live and respect what is important to them, caring for traditions and the soul of the city.

Valencian society seeks serenity, common sense, and stability, preferring politicians who manage rather than activists. This way of governing, based on balance and normality, is reflected in citizen support for municipal management, which consolidates its leadership.
