  "summary": "Orihuela’s opposition parties have united to urge Mayor Pepe Vegara to honor his pledge to hold regular council meetings on Orihuela Costa, extending the initiative to the municipality’s outlying districts. The PSOE, Ciudadanos, and Cambiemos Orihuela have criticized the local government for failing to announce a date for another council plenary session on the coast, despite the first meeting being held in Playa Flamenca on 27 November 2025. With only two months left in 2026, opposition spokespersons Carolina Gracia, José Aix, and Leticia Pertegal argue that residents deserve certainty that the historic initiative will become a permanent feature rather than a one-off gesture. The opposition accuses Vegara’s administration of not demonstrating a commitment to maintaining the requirement under Article 16 of the council’s procedural regulations, which stipulates that plenary sessions should be held at the municipal offices on Orihuela Costa at least once every six months.",
