“Enough of bullfighting politicization; The bullfighting is not right -wing, is not left. Bullfighting, like culture, belongs to the people and people who want to feel and enjoy bullfighting as a show and universal art. ”
These phrases had been pronounced yesterday by the bullfighter already retired Julián López el Juli within the act held on the headquarters of the Government of the Community of Madrid, on the event of the presentation of the brand new National Award of Tauromaquia. Without pretending, the Juli appointed the rope in the home of the hanged, as a result of within the central courtyard of the Royal Correos home the official politicization of the Fiesta de los Toros was being signed.
Juli repeated what all bullfighting has been saying for years, -which shouldn’t be proper -wing or left -while the Popular Party seized bullfighting.
It is already recognized that the origin of this rugged matter lies within the present Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, who exhibits his sectarian sense of democracy, determined to breach the present regulation and suppress the National Bullfighting Award that was awarded since 2013 in equal circumstances with different cultural industries.
What does the Senate paint as a promoter of a bullfighting award?
Before an aggression as unlawful because it unacceptable, the Toro de Lidia Foundation (FTL), chaired by Victorino Martín, resorted to the elimination of the award earlier than the contentious-administrative corridor of the National Court-of what you continue to don’t have any news-,, whereas selling the creation of a substitute award with the Senate – with absolutely the majority of the PP – and 9 autonomous communities opposite to the choice of Urtasun, (Madrid, Andalusia, Valencia, Aragón, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Murcia, Cantabria and Castilla-La Mancha) all of them with conservative governments aside from the final one, within the palms of the socialist García Page.
And the ultimate settlement between these three events is the one which has now been offered within the Community of Madrid.
To start with, the National Bullfighting Award has handed from the institutional land to the merely political. The bullfighting, represented by the FTL, desists from combating with nails and enamel for the restoration of a robbed proper with alevosía, and is thrown right into a political choice that pretends greater than acquiring profitability within the scrambled river promoted by the Minister Antitaurino .

What does the Senate paint as a promoter of a bullfighting award? Doesn’t it have something higher to do?
Are the 9 autonomous communities which have come out within the photograph?
Works are love and never good causes. All of them are full of the mouth of help to the cultural heritage of bullfighting, however actuality exhibits that their bullfighting doesn’t occur.
At the outset, they don’t appear to be very clear if the bulls are tradition or not on the time of their location within the Ministry that offers with this sector. The following checklist is fed up:
– Community of Madrid: Bulls depend upon the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture and Interior.
– Junta de Andalucía: Ministry of the Presidency, Interior, Social Dialogue and Administrative Simplification.

Are the 9 autonomous communities which have come out within the photograph?
And the identical occurs in these different ‘bullfighting’ communities that haven’t adhered to the prize, as is the case of Navarra, the place bullfighting is registered within the Department of Presidency, Equality, Public and Interior Function; In the Basque Country, within the Ministry of Security, and in La Rioja, within the Ministry of Health and Social Policies.
(The unhappy paradox is that the central authorities, essentially the most antitourine of all, is the one one which maintains bullfighting within the Department of Culture).
But we had not remained that bullfighting is cultural heritage? How do bulls, like every other self-discipline of this discipline, aren’t within the Ministry that corresponds to them legally?
And furthermore, do bullfighting obtain within the budgets of those governments on equal phrases with different cultural industries? No.
And each points are rather more necessary than supporting the granting of a bullfighting prize to mark political distances with an uncompromising ministry.
In different phrases, bullfights don’t wish to discover out that politicians of each signal, with only a few exceptions, don’t curiosity bulls. And there are the exams: I really like you a large number, Torito, however Pan Poquito …
The Toro de Lidia Foundation is the one group skilled to award a bullfighting prize till the stolen award is restored. It is all the sector – enterprise, ranchers, bullfighters and followers – the decision to struggle to satiety to get well misplaced equality.
But the bullfights, in sight, favor the lodging of a political choice, no matter, earlier than endeavor the dedication that ensures respect for the bull occasion.
It is true that Urtasun’s extremism has opened the eyes of many who now return to the squares as an act of rise up; But he additionally exposes the passivity of the bullfights, unable to look past their noses.
Victorino Martín has causes to really feel glad: Bullfighting already has who granted an award. But, maybe, his bonhomy prevents him from understanding that it’s not a superb concept politicizing the occasion of bulls.
In case there was any questions, and with out pretending, Juli made it very clear earlier than everybody.
