Overview
- Toledo’s plenary voted down the low-emission zone for the historic center with Vox, PSOE and IU opposing and only the PP in favor, risking up to €5 million in EU and transport funds, as PP councillor José Manuel Velasco warned of possible personal liability for opposing members.
- València’s PP brought a last‑minute, minimal ZBE with phased bans through 2027–2030 and a proposed perimeter out to the V‑30, but opposition parties rejected it as insufficient, putting at least €115 million in related subsidies in jeopardy.
- Vox has emerged as a decisive opponent of ZBEs, withdrawing or voting against proposals and denouncing “climate fanaticism,” which has strained PP-led coalitions in cities including València and Toledo.
- Lleida is proceeding with deployment, widening restrictions from January 2026 and banning B‑tag vehicles in 2028, backed by ten control points with 23 cameras plus four additional cameras and four license‑plate sensors.
- In Gijón, adding Príncipe de Asturias avenue to the ZBE was rejected, and Mayor Carmen Moriyón pointed to the state ownership of the road and port access priorities, noting she has written to the transport minister for guidance.
