The Amposta City Council has officially refused to implement the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) at this time, sparking a legal dispute with the Generalitat de Catalunya in March 2026.

Local authorities in Amposta claim the Catalan Government has made a sudden U-turn regarding the regulations. This disagreement is expected to lead to a formal administrative appeal in court.
In other news, the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) has completed a 24-hour controlled water release to monitor sediment movement along the Ebro river using specialized tracking equipment.
Additionally, Paradores has scheduled the total renovation of the hotel at Suda Castle for March 2027, while local businesses express concern over the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
