The Minister of Culture and Sports, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, asked Lewis Hamilton for "respect" towards a practice that has "cultural consideration" in Spain, such as bulls, after the English rider described the bullfights as "gross" even calling for the closure of bullfighting schools.

"Fernando de los Ríos said that sometimes in human societies what is needed is the revolution of respect, and it is true. Sometimes we have to appeal to respect. I do not like anything that type of statements that are offensive, attack to people who have a hobby and a positive feeling towards a practice that in our country has cultural consideration, "he said this Sunday.

The minister especially reviewed the return of LaLiga in an interview on the RNE Sports Board , but left his response to a Hamilton who 24 hours earlier had been very forceful on his social networks, even writing that Spanish children are taught " to torture and kill bulls from the age of 14 ".

"All opinions are respectable but must be expressed with respect. I regret these statements by Hamilton, a fantastic driver, but it is a pity that these statements occur in public life because they do not help," he added.

As for football, Rodríguez Uribes was happy with the return of the competition, as "hope" and economic engine . "Everyone's work has been very good. There has been very good communication with LaLiga, with the Federation. In crises, sometimes we realize what is important and we put aside small discrepancies," he said.

"The return of La Liga is a social message on the way to a new normal. For many people, the return of football is also a path of hope, that things are going well in the fight against the virus . From an economic point of view Also, soccer will also help other sports, "he added.

On the other hand, Uribes recognized that the sensation is "strange" without an audience, a pending issue that cannot be run. "The feeling is that something is missing, the total normality will be when the public returns. Then if you like football you look at 11 against 11. We are going to get used to it this week and normality will return, it is good that it is in all fields at a time, "he said.

"We are going to see how the health situation continues and based on that some decision will be made at some point. We do not know if it will be time for there to be an audience in this league that ends in July. Nothing should be ruled out. I did not think that in June we were going to return to cultural activity with some normality. We have to take firm and safe steps, but without haste ", he settled
