He was appointed managing director of the Center for Bullfighting Affairs of the Community of Madrid in September. Miguel Abellán, who knows as nobody the artistic, economic and social reality of bullfighting, landed with renewed airs and an unusual gesture policy in his predecessors: he took Ferrera on his shoulders in the apotheosis of autumn and climbed into the hard of the « 7 ». The visibility of everything accessory could cover your daily work of shoe and bottom. That brings a thousand fronts, no tail wind and a curious ballast.

How was the issue of Bullfighting issues found? I understand the management in a very different way from my predecessors because I keep breathing like a bullfighter and I know this inside. The relationship with the fan is vital. But at the same time I have received all the professionals that make up the sector. It is true that I have met with the fans of the "7", but also with the subscribers of the "2", and with those of the "8" ... And with the unions in the square. At the moment I am knowing your needs. And of the region. I have the gift of heaven from Enrique Alcorta, who has 30 years of experience in administration. We work for the amateur. All very visible. Well, for a long time obscurantism has involved bullfighting. And it was not clear what was being done. When a lot was really done. Hard work. Here we are doing works every day. When he talks about "works" he refers to the small works, not the great pending reform. At what point is the project, if any? Now we are finishing the reform of the Cossío Room for the Carriquiri Library, the most important in the world of the Briones family. We are remodeling the patio of the desolladero, the roof, Florito's house, the CAT building ... A bricklayer has not entered here since the square was built in 1929. That's right, it's never too late. Especially when the will is to update everything. We have restored the doors, we are going to bury the wiring for the broadcasts and build a new burladero on the ring ... When a bullfighter goes to the gayola portal, there is a lot of distance between the gate of the rails and the nearest one. A shorter distance is necessary in case it has to be helped. And we are going to install another, of another type, in the alley, for the farmers, historically none. I asked about the great work, because we are in a fight, in quotes, with Heritage and Emergencies. The square is a historical monument and as such it harbors many difficulties when executing works. Emergencies understands that you have to adapt the square and update security measures for other types of shows and Heritage says that this is untouchable. The PSOE spokesman has recriminated him in the Presidency commission that has the same response that his predecessor gave in 2018 ... We have entered a new legislature with a new government team [PP / Vox / C's]. Since I arrived, it has been starting from scratch. The first thing I did was go to Madrid Works. And I found the traffic jam. The Community has begun to ignore the operating fee of the last seasons to face the project budget. But the square is as it is because for years the fee has not been fully reinvested as the budget law marks. [And the fee has given the Community of Madrid 52 million only in the last 15 years]. It is reinvested, but there are other privileges for all Madrid and non-Madrid residents such as health or more important primary needs. Surely, part of the proceeds has gone to cover the first needs of citizens. The law also covers that. I didn't know it. This is a very novel explanation, the absolute demolition of the fake theory of subsidized bullfighting. Not only does it happen to bullfighting, but to all public agencies with a collection effort. When there is a year of extension for the current concessionary company [Plaza 1], do you plan to change the interventionist nature of this operating statement in the next? We will try that its main axis is the promotion of bullfighting. We want to reflect the reality of the sector and the demands of the fans. Do they contemplate the release of the prices of the tickets of the unpaid public? The subscriber must be protected. Which is the one that commits and gives stability to the square. Here you can see the best at the same price as a poster without that relevance. How is your relationship with the company? Good, but I don't understand why it should be bad. My role is to ensure compliance with the specifications and the interests of the fan. My pulse will not shake when I have to tell them to do their job. Favoritisms none. It is appreciated the defense of the PP against the stalking left, but I confess that sometimes I have had the feeling that your party in Madrid wants bullfighting as you want a dairy cow ... When you are inside, you They see things differently. Here to change a bulb you need a thousand permits. Bullfighting has no acronym. It should not be politicized. Those who attack it are politicized. Bullfighting belongs to the people. In a square we all fit. The PP that defends is the freedom to go to the bulls. The one that denies the radical left. The commitment of the most visible heads of the PP, Casado, Ayuso, Martínez-Almeida, is absolute. We must not throw stones on our roof. You have to be grateful to the forces that have positioned themselves as bullfighting against the forces that come against you like orcs. Will Almeida include the San Isidro bullfighting fair within the San Isidro festival program? We already have a draft agreement in which the City Hall box is recovered, the bullfighting awards that also disappeared with Carmena, the activity in El Batán ... I imagine that with the José Cubero «Yiyo» School. The only one there is, the only one recognized by the Community, which was hosted in Las Ventas. On July 1 it will return to the premises of El Batán, supervised by the CAM and the City Council. The Integrated Bullfighting (IT) contract with Madrid Destino concludes on June 29. It draws attention to the last-minute rush of IT to organize storehouses after four years. There has never been any teaching activity or of any kind. There is no war or love. We will only recover life in El Batán. Will the runs return that will be dealt with later in Las Ventas? It is our wish. We want to recover everything as a bullfighting complex. Like what it was. It is the centenary of the death Gallito, how will they commemorate it? We are going to overturn with all the cultural programming. Will the Council of Bullfighting continue to exist? I don't know your activity yet. It will be something else to dust off. Are you a bullfighter, don't you feel on the razor's edge to recommend hiring others? I receive between 10 and 12 calls from classmates every day. There has been no one in this position who knows of his imperative need to step on Madrid. But it is not within my power to recommend bullfighters. Even if I go to bed with a feeling of grief and helplessness. I am straight and transparent.
