• Resumen

  • The Valencian right-wing, mostly represented by the Partit Popular (PP, Popular Party), has made Valencian anticatalanism or blaverisme one of the axes of its political discourse. Anticatalanism, meaning the aversion to the idea of a Catalan nation, using the same Catalan language and culture, has been a very useful tool for the PP, closely linked to Spanish nationalism, to represent itself as the only party which defends majority of the interests and identity of the Valencian people. The silence of the affected sectors and majority of the society suggests that blaverisme, despite its xenophobic character and violence, is perceived by large sectors of local society as a legitimate movement. The role of the newspaper Las Provincias has been decisive for this success.
