The opposition parties in Orihuela, led by Cambiemos Orihuela and the PSOE, have united against proposed charges for using council-owned sports facilities. The PP-Vox municipal government has reportedly issued a circular demanding advance payment for using these facilities, which both parties argue will place additional financial pressure on local sports clubs.

The clubs are already struggling with delayed grants and deteriorating facilities, and the opposition claims the proposed charges come at an especially difficult time for these organizations.
