Més, also known as Més–Compromís (English: "More–Commitment"), is a Valencian nationalist party in the Valencian Community, Spain. It is the largest party in the Coalició Compromís since 2021, being created as a refoundation of the former Bloc Nacionalista Valencià.[1][2][3]
When created, the party had as objective the national and popular construction of the Valencian Community, hgand improving the livelihood of the Valencian people.[4] According to their promotors, the goal was to embrace a sobiranist discourse with popular roots that allows the new formation to have a better presence that Valencian Nationalist Bloc had.[4] When it comes to the Valencian nationalist discourse, it promoted a more simplified vision of their ideology, receiving internal criticism.[4]

Background

Perspective
After a traumatic Spanish transition to democracy,[5] Valencian nationalism became an extraparlamentary force when the Valencian Autonomous Community was created in 1982.[6] This led to the main nationalist party, the Valencian People's Union, to moderate their positions in an attempt to find accommodation in the new political system.[6] This accommodation would lead to the birth of the Valencian Nationalist Bloc, in a process known as Third Way,[7] where the involvement of Valencian Nationalists into Catalan issues, that had been vague but real since the emergence of Joan Fuster as an intellectual leader,[8] was abandoned and substituted by a discourse strictly based on the Land of Valencia.[7] The failure of the Valencian Nationalist Bloc of reaching the parliament in the 2003 Valencian regional election, would led them to explore electoral coalitions with other leftists forces, in a process that would lead to the birth of Coalició Compromís.[9]
During the process, the formation would evolve from a strict Valencian nationalism to a civic nationalism less centered on elements as language, culture, and history, understanding that Valencianism is originated in the will of the individuals.[6] Also, Compromís become a catch-all party, and joined the Valencian government in 2015.[6]
After the 2019 Valencian regional election, leaders of the Valencian Nationalist Bloc had a refundation in mind,[10] justified by a need of abandoning the original name, regarded as not very attractive for the voters,[11] and an adaptation to the ideological changes experimented during the last decade.[11][12] The refundation was expected to happen in June, 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the congress until 2021.[11]
The refoundation happened in June 2021, despite receiving internal criticism for what had been regarded as an ideological renunciation.[13] In November 2021, former president of both UPV and Bloc, Pere Mayor, announced he had left the party.[14][15]
