La Ley de Memoria Histórica, aprobada por el Congreso de los Diputados el 31 de octubre de 2007, establece que las administraciones públicas están obligadas a retirar no sólo los símbolos franquistas que se conserven en calles, plazas y edificios públicos, sino cualesquiera otros objetos o menciones conmemorativas de exaltación, personal o colectiva, de la sublevación militar, de la guerra civil y de la represión de la dictadura franquista. La ciudadanía de Orihuela solicita la retirada inmediata tanto de los nombres de calles, plazas o símbolos de nuestro municipio con referencias explícitas al régimen franquista como de los honores y distinciones (medalla de la ciudad y nombramiento de Caballero Porta Estandarte), concedidos al dictador Francisco Franco.
