In Spain, the average bullfighting aficionado has gotten older and the number of bullfighting festivals dropped by a third between 2010 and 2023
Spanish bullfighter Manuel Escribano performs a pass on a bull using a muleta during the Feria de Abril bullfighting festival at La Maestranza bullring in Seville on April 21.Spain scrapped an annual bullfighting award on Friday, prompting a rebuke from conservatives over a backlash against a centuries-old tradition they see as an art form but which has run into growing concern for animal welfare.
The Culture Ministry said it based its decision to abolish the award on the “new social and cultural reality in Spain” where worries about animal welfare have risen while attendance at most bullrings has declined. The national award came in the form of a 30,000-euro government cheque and has been bestowed on famous bullfighters such as Julian Lopez, known as “El Juli”, or cultural associations related to the bullfighting tradition.
Borja Semper, spokesperson for the opposition conservative People’s Party, told reporters the government move showed that it “does not believe in cultural diversity or liberty”, and that his party would reinstate the award whenever it regained power.
