The law only allows electoral advertising in the 15 days prior to the campaign
The electoral board has told the leader of Ciudadanos in Orihuela, José Aix, to remove an advertising banner, in front of the Miguel Hernández school, carrying a large photograph with the words “Aix the future begins today. José Aix the mayor of an extraordinary Orihuela”, also carrying the Ciudadanos logo. The electoral board says that they consider the hording to feature a message with electoral connotations.
A complaint from the PP said that it violates the law that establishes that “the contracting of electoral advertising can only be carried out in the 15 strict campaign days”.
The dissemination of information about rallies and the presentation of candidates is allowed but they say that after examining the poster, the electoral board determines that no reference is made to either a campaign presentation act or rally.
A similar billboard featuring the image of the mayor Carolina Gracia was also taken down in Orihuela Costa last month.
