The bullfighting golf equipment of Linares declare the status of their bullring 'above those that attempt to impose their standards' | Culture | EUROtoday

“The prestige of the Linares bullring is above the personal, economic or professional vicissitudes of bullfighting enthusiasts who want to impose their criteria when making decisions that only correspond to the people designated to make them.”

This is how the assertion ready by the 5 bullfighting golf equipment of this metropolis of Jaén (Tercio de Varas, Círculo José Fuentes, Peña Enrique Ponce, Peña Paco Moreno and Círculo Curro Díaz) begins following the 'escape' of the bullfighters Morante de la Puebla and José María Manzanares on August 28 as a consequence of disagreements with the presidential workforce concerning the popularity of Álvaro Núñez's bulls.

The fan organisations add that “what is truly certain and proven about that day is that two matadors, irresponsibly and without explanation, abandoned the people of Linares and thousands of fans who came from all over to see the bulls. And it was another bullfighter, Curro Díaz, precisely from Linares, who took the bullfight on his shoulders and saved the fair.”

On the opposite hand, they reject numerous assessments revealed by different media retailers which, within the opinion of the supporters, “are full of falsehoods, misrepresentations, and what is worse, offensive comments against our highest local authority, the mayor, against the president and the veterinarians of the bullring, and also, incidentally, against the fans themselves.”

Regarding the jury's resolution to declare the 'Manolete Trophy' void after Curro Díaz's solo triumph, the supporters' golf equipment clarify that there are specific guidelines for awarding it and “the only intention when declaring it void was precisely to comply with them.”

The followers clarify that article 6 of the foundations that regulate this award states that “…the jury will decide… in favor of the bullfighter who, in its opinion, performs the best and most complete faena, taking into account the build and other characteristics of the bull.” “What this means is that the Manolete Trophy requires a bullfight with a bull with the build that the Linares bullring deserves,” they add. “And the bulls were useful, and Curro’s performance was above the quality of the bulls; but there was neither the bull nor the faena that the regulations say,” the observe continues.

The bullfighting golf equipment conclude that “the heroic, bullfighting, brave and exemplary attitude, such as that demonstrated by Curro Díaz that afternoon, of killing the announced bullfight alone is worthy of institutional and public recognition by the society of Linares, which must be made effective as soon as possible.”

Apparently, this tribute is already underway on the initiative of the supporters' golf equipment and in shut collaboration with the native council, and will encompass naming Curro Díaz because the Favourite Son of Linares.
