The legal group "Abogados Cristianos" announced they may pursue legal action after the Ribalta cross in Castellón was attacked again.

On July 5, 2024, the legal advocacy group Abogados Cristianos posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the Ribalta cross in Castellón, previously removed by local authorities affiliated with PSOE and Compromís, continues to be targeted in what they describe as acts of hostility.

The group announced they are considering legal action in response to the latest incident, which they consider as one of religious intolerance.
