Transparency disputes in Melilla local government

Overview

Amín Azmani, president of the Somos Melilla party, has raised concerns regarding administrative transparency and resource allocation by the local government of Melilla.

In late July, Azmani criticized the discretionary distribution of protocol tickets for city-financed concerts. He specifically cited the 2025 Luis Fonsi concert, where 612 tickets—representing 16% of the venue capacity—were allocated. Azmani proposed a new rule to limit such tickets to 5% of total capacity and called for the publication of recipient data on the Transparency Portal.

By August, the focus of these criticisms shifted to the organization of the 2026 Feria de Melilla bullfighting event. Azmani denounced the administration for failing to officially release the event lineup, costs, or contracting procedures despite the festivities approaching. He questioned the selection criteria for participants and the lack of advance administrative planning.
