Overview
- Valencia’s council rejected the PP’s latest ZBE ordinance, leaving the city without a regulation after Vox withdrew support at the October plenary.
- The PP’s revised plan proposed moving up the ban on the city’s highest‑polluting resident vehicles to July 1, 2027, expanding the perimeter to San Isidro, San Marcelino and the Marítimo, and conditioning restrictions on label B vehicles from outside the city on future air‑quality thresholds.
- The absence of an approved ZBE endangers at least €115 million tied to ZBE compliance and public transport subsidies, with potential penalties also at stake.
- Vox filed an urgent motion in the Corts Valencianes urging reversal or suspension of ZBEs and the return of collected fines, increasing pressure on ZBE policies at the regional level.
- Elsewhere, Barakaldo approved its ZBE technical document, excluded the Lasesarre sports complex from the perimeter, and published detailed authorizations during public consultation, while Castellón scheduled final paving for early December under PRTR Next Generation funding and Granada police detained a man for online incitement to violent acts related to ZBE protests.
