Valencian Regional Union (Catalan: Unió Regional Valenciana, URV) was a Valencianist and anti-Catalanist political party founded in the Valencian Community in 1977.
History
The party was founded by the ex-mayor of
València Miguel Ramón Izquierdo and by the president of the deputation of the Province of València Ignacio Carrau
.
Its main objective was the defense of the "Valencian personality" and the Valencian symbols, such as the
Galiza and the Basque Country
), and not by Article 151.
URV had a strong influence in the city of
València and played a key role in the so-called "Battle of Valencia". In October 1979 the left-wing faction of the party decided to refound it as Valencian Nationalist Left, after decision the right-wing faction (led by Miguel Ramón Izquierdo, Vicente González Lizondo and Vicente Ramos Pérez) left the organization and founded Valencian Union.[4]
