Jumilla, Spain, has become the first town in the country to explicitly ban Islamic religious celebrations in public places, following a motion by VOX and supported by the Popular Party.

The new regulation prohibits religious or cultural events “alien to [Spanish] identity” unless organized by the council.

Critics, including the Socialist Party, warn that the move could violate Spain’s constitution and cause conflict. Local officials deny religious discrimination, claiming the policy focuses on facility use.

QUESTION: Do you think this is about protecting national identity or is it religious discrimination? Protecting tradition or promoting division? Please share your thoughts in the Comments section.
