The EH Bildu logo has been covered on the billboards supporting Club Atlético Osasuna that were placed this Friday around the La Cartuja stadium in Seville, where today the final of the Copa del Rey between the Navarrese team and Real Madrid is disputed.

The fences are still standing but the part in which the political party showed its support for Osasuna has been covered with a blue tarp, with phrases in both Spanish and Basque.

Once it was known that they had been placed, the PSOE filed a complaint with the Electoral Board of Zone (JEZ) of Seville against EH Bildu and asked this body to order the Junta de Andalucía, owner of the land, its immediate withdrawal.

In a statement, the PSOE has reported that, in its letter of complaint against the political formation EH Bildu for violation of article 53 of the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime, it requests the JEZ to proceed to order this party and the Junta de Andalucía as owner of the land the immediate removal of the aforementioned fences.

In addition, it asks to initiate disciplinary proceedings against EH Bildu urging it to refrain from carrying out these illegal practices in the future.

Article 53 of the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime establishes that, "from the call for elections until the legal start of the campaign, it is forbidden to carry out advertising or electoral propaganda through posters, commercial supports or insertions in the press, radio or other digital media, and such actions cannot be justified by the exercise of the ordinary activities of the parties. coalitions or federations recognized in the previous section".

For its part, the City Council of Seville has demanded that the Junta de Andalucía intervene immediately to order the removal of the fences, installed on land of the regional administration, adjacent to the La Cartuja Stadium and in the municipality of the Sevillian town of Santiponce.

In a statement, the Consistory has indicated that this billboard contravenes the electoral law that expressly prohibits this type of advertising of political parties before the start of the electoral campaign.

In this sense, it demands clarification on whether the society of the Estadio de La Cartuja benefits economically, even indirectly, from this type of advertising messages from Bildu that are currently prohibited.

In its social networks, EH Bildu maintains the photographs of the billboards, with the message "Seville has a special color. Aúpa Osasuna".
