The spokesman for the Toro de Lidia Foundation, Chapu Apaolaza, has assured that the bullfighting world "assumes" the limitation for sanitary reasons of the capacity in the squares on the return of these festivities since Phase 2, although he regretted that it has not been held a meeting on this subject with the Minister of Culture, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes.

"It is true that Uribes had promised in public and in private a meeting with the bullfighting sector and the Ministry of Health to study the issue of gauging and the truth is that it has not occurred, " the spokesperson denounced in Europa Press. of this foundation.

The Official State Gazette (BOE) published an order on Saturday morning that allows bullrings, venues and outdoor facilities to open in those territories that are in phase 2 of the de-escalation with a maximum capacity of one third and no more than 400 people.

According to Apaolaza, this limitation of capacity "puts a lot of stress on the bullfighting sector" , although it has specified that it is not possible to go "against" the sanitary criteria and the measures for open-air cultural shows.

However, they ask that "viable criteria" be established once the territories have passed Phase 3 and are in the so-called 'new normal'. "Let's hope that parameters are established in accordance with the fact that there is a world with bullfighting , just as there is a world with theater or football, we would not understand anything else," he claimed.

On the other hand, Apaolaza has avoided entering into controversy over the measures regarding other cultural industries: "The world of the bull has been respectful with the demands of sanitary measures, if soccer or another sport or there are people who have other ideas, it is about what your industry should be, we can't comment much. "

He considers that from anti-bullfighting they try to "confront" the people of soccer with the people of bullfighting, flamenco or concerts, "which in reality are the same people". "In ballet there are more people from the bull , or in museums, there are 20 percent more people than the average, which is a controversy that we do not enter," he stressed.

Finally, the spokesman for the bullfighting foundation has stressed that they ask to be considered "like other cultural sectors" and criticized that there are people who believe that "it is necessary to govern according to taste, to favor or enhance cultural manifestations that they like or not . " "That has a name and it is called censorship," he sentenced.
