• He distinguished the hijab as permissible attire since it neither conceals the face nor impairs security.
• The PP leader criticized Vox’s June motion for a blanket ban on Islamic dress, accusing the party of electoral opportunism over religious freedoms.
• He defended Jumilla’s municipal decision on sports facilities as a local exercise of competence, clarifying that no religion was vetoed.
