Overview
- The municipal plenary approved the 2025 Honores y Distinciones list ahead of the city’s 9 d’Octubre celebrations.
- PSOE condemned the refusal to grant the Medalla de Oro to neighborhood associations from La Torre, Castellar and Forn d’Alcedo after the DANA, while the groups will instead receive Medallas de la Gratitud.
- City officials said entities must meet a 50‑year threshold under the 2022 regulation, framing the Gratitud medals as the appropriate category for disaster response.
- Compromís voted against naming journalist María Consuelo Reyna Hija Predilecta, and PSOE asked to withdraw that proposal or consult the Consell Valencià de Cultura; Compromís also abstained on the Medalla de Plata for the Capítulo de l’Almoina de Sant Jordi.
- Honorees include the Colegio Oficial de Enfermería de València for the Medalla de Oro, predilectos such as Luis Miralles, Pilar Roig and Joaquín Prat (posthumous), and adoptivos including Max Aub, Vicente Torres Castejón, Claudio Gómez Perretta, José Serrano (posthumous), Teresa Navarro and Javier Molins, with the investiture set for October 6 under Mayor María José Catalá.
