Valencian nationalist flag

Valencian nationalism (Valencian: Nacionalisme valencià; IPA: [nasionaˈlizme valensiˈa]) or Valencianism (Valencian: Valencianisme) is a political movement in the Land of Valencia, Spain.

It advocates the promotion and recognition of the Valencian language, culture and the political sovereignty of the Land of Valencia.^[1] As an ideology, it has had varying levels of social and political influence since the nineteenth century, contributing to the consolidation of self-government in the Valencian Community as a political entity tracing its origins to the Ancient Kingdom of Valencia.^[2] Sometimes Catalan-nationalist groups^[3] are also included under the name of Valencian nationalism, as some Valencian nationalists see the Land of Valencia as part of the Catalan nation.^[4]

Historically, Valencianism originates in the 19th century as a cultural movement during the Renaixença, a period of time where intellectuals tried to recover the culture status for the Valencian-Catalan language after centuries of diglossia and the suppression of the Kingdom of Valencia under borbonical absolutism with initiatives like the Floral Games held by . Scissions from this association would be the first political organisations of the Valencianism, appeared at the beginning of the 20th century.^[2] The symbolical birthdate of Valencianism is considered to be 1902, when reads .^[5][6] One of the first milestones for Valencianism would be the made in 1918, although it was not until the Second Spanish Republic that Valencianism would achieve certain political influence and a climate prone to achieve a Statute of Autonomy.^[2] With the creation of Francoist Spain, the Valencianist tradition was repressed^[7] and Valencian regionalism was dissolved^[2] and instrumentalised in Spain.^[8] In the 1960s Joan Fuster i Ortells emerged as a referent of a modern Valencianism, the ^[9][10] that broke with the discourse of the regionalism allowed by the state.^[8] The importance given by the Fusteranists to the cultural and linguistic unity of the Catalan Countries, concept that became central in his proposal,^[1] would explain the emergence of the blaverism, an anti-catalanist Valencian regionalism.^[11]
