A local authority in southeast Spain has banned Muslims from using public facilities to celebrate religious festivals.
Areas like civic centres and gyms will no longer be available for use in celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha.
The ban is the first of its kind in Spain, and was introduced by the conservative People’s Party and passed with the abstention of the right-wing Vox party – in the face of opposition by local left-wing parties.
The proposal in Jumilla, Murcia, states: "Municipal sports facilities cannot be used for religious, cultural or social activities alien to our identity unless organised by the local authority."
