The Aguas de Murcia building with the lights that have aroused the controversy this Tuesday. /
The company assures that the lights are the usual ones with which the building is decorated every year around these dates and that it has nothing to do with the match between Morocco and Spain.
Just a few minutes after Morocco beat Spain in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar, the nets were turning on in Murcia. The subject of the controversy had to do precisely with the lighting of the Aguas de Murcia building in the Circular square.
Some users on social networks highlighted that the facade of the Emuasa headquarters wore green and red spotlights on Tuesday night. The colors of the Moroccan flag, according to many of the users who disliked that the Murcia City Council was congratulating the Moroccan team after beating Spain. However, from the Socialist Party they quickly responded that it is not a form of support or congratulations to the Moroccan team. Rather, it is the usual Christmas lighting with which the well-known building is decorated. In fact, he shared a tweet last year from Emuasa’s own account in which the same lighting was shown.
Murcia. The socialist mayor Serrano has no other idea than to put lights with the Moroccan flag today.
And yes, the same mayor who has put the lights on the camels. pic.twitter.com/a95ESu02IZantua rannis (@antuaa_) December 6, 2022
The profiles of the Popular Party of Murcia and Vox in the capital also joined the criticism of the Consistory, sharing two separate tweets in which they regretted the mayor’s decision.
🟥‼️
Tomorrow we will formally ask the socialist Serrano for explanations.
Regardless of the spirit and sports competitiveness, we do not understand that in the round of 16 the City Council takes this type of initiative against the Spanish National Team pic.twitter.com/CTo0I2mSeE

In Emuasa’s own social networks they clarified that it is a coincidence and that “they are the lights that we have programmed to celebrate Christmas.”
Let’s not confuse please. It is a coincidence, they are the lights that we have programmed to celebrate Christmas.
