Spain: Minors can attend bullfights in the Balearic Islands again, protected by law

  Vox and Partido Popular have reached an agreement in the Balearic Islands Parliament's Institutional and General Affairs Committee this Wednesday, with Santiago Abascal's party accepting an amendment proposed by the PP to allow (again) under-16s years old attend bullfights. This came during a bill registered by Vox in April this year, which sought to amend the Animal Protection Law to allow minors to attend bullfights.

With this new amendment to the law, it is no longer considered a infraccion for minors under the age of 18 to attend bullfights, as long as they are accompanied by an adult or legal guardian under the age of 16. The opinion will be debated again and voted on in the plenary session of the Parliament.

Spain: The Toro de Lidia Foundation asks the Government to dismiss the Minister of Culture

The Toro de Lidia Foundation asks the Government to dismiss the Minister of Culture

Friday, October 11, 2024

Victorino Martín sends a letter to Pedro Sánchez to ask for the dismissal of Ernest Urtasun: “His attitude is the culmination of his sectarian policy”.
The president of the Toro de Lidia Foundation, Victorino Martín, has sent an open letter to Pedro Sánchez, president of the Government, to ask for the dismissal of the current Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, after his attitude in the presentation of the National Culture Awards. An attitude that, as expressed in the letter, is the “culmination of his sectarian policy”.

Below, we reproduce the full letter from Victorino Martín to Pedro Sánchez:

Mr. President of the Government,

We are writing to you on behalf of the bullfighting sector to request the dismissal of the Minister of Culture, Mr. Ernest Urtasun.

It is inconceivable that a Minister of Culture expressly positions himself against a relevant part of the culture of Spain such as bullfighting, failing to comply with the obligations of his position that legally oblige him to protect, promote and disseminate bullfighting, more than enough reason to disqualify him as Minister of all the culture of our country.

But his attitude yesterday at the National Culture Awards ceremony was the culmination of his sectarian policy. Yesterday the Minister of Culture decided to show his anti-bullfighting dogmatism by not applauding the National Bullfighting Award 2023, Julián López “El Juli”, unlike what he did with the rest of the award winners, an unheard of gesture of discrimination, an attitude incompatible with the elementary education of any citizen and inadmissible in the institutional sphere.

For all these reasons, it seems evident that Mr. Urtasun is completely delegitimized by his own actions to represent the Spanish Government in matters of culture, and we therefore request his dismissal.
