Overview
- The mural by the Coordinadora Bajada del Ebro had been defaced before the town’s festival, and two members repainted it to prevent the slogan from being visible during the event.
- On August 26, two Policía Local patrols—about nine officers—documented the repainting and initiated an administrative sanction.
- The municipal government, led by a PSOE–Podemos coalition, imposed the penalty, which the association says was treated as a grave infraction.
- The volunteers acknowledge they acted without prior authorization from the town council to alter the mural.
- The association intends to recover the €700 paid through a solidarity calendar and donation boxes in local shops.
