The bull, by the horns: The very critical function of businessman Garzón and the unusual the Aristocracy of the Real Maestranza of Seville | The bull, by the horns | Culture | EUROtoday

More than one fan could have felt dissatisfied, and rightly so, by the content material of the press convention that the model new businessman from La Maestranza, José María Garzón, supplied final Monday to current the basic strains of the brand new stage.

Disappointed, sure, as a result of past the ten % low cost for subscribers and the opening of La Venta de Antequera for the exhibition of a number of bullfights from the April Fair, the brand new supervisor supplied few concepts: the identical variety of celebrations, the identical bulls (the novelty of Álvaro Núñez’s debut will not be a joke, he stated it), the identical costs…

It can also be dangerous luck that if you find yourself lucky sufficient to make the dream of each bullfighting entrepreneur come true, the magician wearing lights, Mr. Morante, decides to retire from the rings and leaves you along with your legs dangling and your gaze misplaced. It is comprehensible, it’s logical, that Garzón traveled to Portugal after which to La Puebla in a determined try and persuade the bullfighter to return to the Sevillian albero, which doesn’t appear potential, not less than for the second.

Of course, with Morante lively, his genius at its peak and the halo that adorns him, the Seville posters are a bit of cake. You do not need to be a businessman with an extended profession behind you to position Morante and two others in 5 afternoons and make sure the field workplace and income.

With Morante lively, the Seville cartels are a bit of cake; The sophisticated factor is to design a gorgeous season ticket with the veteran strolling bullfighter

The sophisticated half, the intense half, is to design a season ticket with the itinerant bullfighting, made up of bullfighters who’ve spent greater than half a life within the ranks of matadors, with the jar of essences exhausted and dry at this level, and with none thriller to say, and a batch of younger bullfighters, for essentially the most half legitimate, however unknown to that nice public as trustworthy and obligatory as it’s illiterate that fills the bullrings. Excluded, sure, because of the irresponsibility of the vast majority of businessmen who’ve most popular the dangerous identified, however secure till now, than the great to be identified, important to form the fast future.

On the opposite hand, what did that fan who says he’s dissatisfied with Garzón’s first intentions anticipate? Did you think about, maybe, some modern, shocking, revolutionary initiative? No. If you anticipated it, you do not know Seville.

It is true that the businessman lacks time to suggest any extraordinary initiative (he’ll current the subscription posters earlier than the top of February) however his proposals, this yr and people of the following 4 that his contract lasts, will resemble Pagés’ subscriptions like drops of water. Because? Because Seville is conventional and bullfighting, little lover of change and enemy of contemporary concepts that come to interrupt the lordship, magnificence, silence, sensitivity and infinite kindness of a beneficiant public that prefers artwork with calves than feats with bulls. That is to say, for a very transformative concept to be potential, the town, its inhabitants and its soul must be modified, and that doesn’t appear possible.

In addition, the Real Maestranza de Caballería, proprietor of the bullring, solely requires from the businessman high-quality posters with the figures of the second and essentially the most appreciated bulls in the marketplace. In different phrases, the so-called ‘remataos’ posters, which Ramón Valencia stated.

By the best way, now that the noble Sevillian company is talked about, it’s a good alternative to recollect the assertion it issued on the event of the change of administration firm of the plaza on Saturday, November 22 at 2:04 p.m.: “The General Board of the Royal Maestranza de Caballería of Seville has appointed Mr. José María Garzón as businessman of the Seville Bullring for the next five years.”

Not one other phrase, not a single point out of the Pagés firm. And so, till in the present day. Absolute silence.

It needed to be José María Garzón himself who at Monday’s press convention remembered the earlier firm with an honorable point out: “The history of La Maestranza would not be recognized without the 93 years of Pagés.”

That’s how it’s. For a very long time, with blissful moments and others not so blissful, as in any couple, the company and the corporate have labored collectively for the advantage of bullfighting and Seville.

No matter how exhausting the breakup was, irrespective of how a lot ache the lecturers felt because of the authorized calls for of Ramón Valencia, the seen head of Pagés, this firm deserved one thing greater than a sinister silence.

Sinister, sure, deplorable and unfair, as a result of, first, the courteous doesn’t take away the courageous, and, second, as a result of the Royal Maestranza of Cavalry of Seville boasts of a the Aristocracy, a lordship and a the Aristocracy that, on this event, have been critically referred to as into query.

The Royal Maestranza of Cavalry boasts a the Aristocracy, a lordship and a the Aristocracy which have been critically questioned

It is thought that those that maintain noble titles should behave in an honorable method; Being noble not solely means having fun with sure privileges, but in addition assuming ethical and social duties.

It is obvious that the lecturers have made a mistake. Good manners ought to by no means be misplaced, particularly if they arrive from ‘Catholic, Apostolic and Roman women and men, monarchists, of noble descent and exemplary folks’, situations required to be a member of the royal company.

Pagés deserved one thing extra, if solely out of respect for therefore a few years of labor collectively. The firm will need to have finished one thing good for such an extended and fruitful collaboration.

In quick, nobody is exempt from making errors; the businessman Ramón Valencia, with two lawsuits which have dominated in favor of the homeowners of the sq. however that distressed all of the Sevillian nobles (Pagés requested them for at least 6 million euros in VAT); and the lecturers, with an inappropriate perspective of people who find themselves presumed to have an informed upbringing.

In two phrases, a critical poll is that of the brand new supervisor; The queues on the ticket places of work and the revenue of the Real Maestranza will depend upon their mixtures of bulls and bullfighters.

By the best way, José María Garzón has not obtained public congratulations or good needs from his landlords both. Come on, with this matter the Royal Maestranza has not coated itself with glory, exactly, Let His Majesty the King, who’s the Big Brother of the Corporation, not discover out…
