Alaquàs Castle hosted yesterday, Monday, November 9th, the presentation of the book ‘Un entre deu’ by Vicent Soler, a Valencian economist and politician.

The event was attended by the author and featured interventions from personalities such as the Mayor of Alaquàs, Toni Saura; the former Director General of Budgets of the Generalitat Valenciana, Eva Martínez; the official chronicler of Alaquàs, Enric Juan Redal; journalist Laura Sena; and editor Vicent Olmos.
The publication narrates the period from the Franco dictatorship to the present day, from a perspective shaped by the author's experiences. The title refers to the arrest of ten anti-Franco activists in Alaquàs fifty years ago, including Soler himself, for advocating for the recovery of Valencian self-governance and democratic freedoms in Spain.
Vicent Soler is a retired Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Valencia and former Minister of Finance and Economic Model of the Generalitat Valenciana. His education as an economist was supported by scholarships and significant family effort, aiming to better understand the Valencian reality in an increasingly complex and globalized world. He became involved in politics at a young age, believing it was necessary not only to understand his social environment but also to transform it for the benefit of the majority.
