Valencian Democrats (Catalan: Demòcrates Valencians, DV) is a centrist, Valencianist political party founded in the Valencian Community in 2013 and reactivated in 2017.[2] In 2018, the party achieved some agreements with some local independent parties and in total reached 17 city councilmen.[3]

In September 2018, Natxo Temiño was elected Secretary-General of the party.[4] In December he was substituted by Albert Sarrió.[5]

Ideology

[edit]

According to its statutes, DV is defined as a "centrist and valencianist" formation, with a "conciliation Valencianism" (also known as Valencianist Third Way) line (overcoming the confrontation between pro-Catalan fusterianism and anti-Catalan blaverism).
