• Andalusia.The Junta shuffles requiring a minimum distance of one and a half meters in the bullrings after the afternoon of El Puerto
  • Covid-19. Were the security measures complied with at the El Puerto de Santa María bullring?

"La Goyesca would be unfeasible" , analyzes Francisco Rivera, the businessman of the Maestranza de Ronda, the consequences of the reduction of the capacity that the Junta de Andalucía shuffles for the bullrings after the afternoon of El Puerto de Santa María. Until now, a limit of 50% was established, which would be substantially reduced if the proposal of the Ministry of the Presidency to demand a separation of one and a half meters between the attendees became effective. "The Board meets on Thursday. Let's see what they decide," adds the retired bullfighter in reference "to the third self-evaluation" that the regional government will carry out "at 10 in the morning," as this newspaper has been able to confirm.

To adopt the measure that Elías Bendodo has outlined, it must first be approved on Thursday and then, "complying with the mandatory procedure", which has the approval "of the committee of experts", which will have the last word on whether it is suitable or not. reduce the capacity allowed in the bullrings. "It is a possibility. There is nothing definitive," they say from the Board.

The sale of tickets for the Goyesca has already started. "We could not apply this new rule today," insists Rivera Ordóñez. The Ronda poster "is very interesting, it is topped on all four sides. Roca Rey reappears in Spain a long time later", almost 14 months later, and there is much expectation to see him do the paseo with Morante and Pablo Aguado on the 29th of August. "It seems that we are going to pay just for sinners , if someone has committed an imprudence. If the capacity is reduced in the end, we will have a difficult time reorganizing ourselves."

In Ronda an action protocol has been established, consult it here to protect the public from possible contagion. "There will be a temperature test for everyone. A tent will be set up to carry out PCR if someone is a suspect. The horse-drawn carriage ride, the outing on shoulders has been suspended. And, among other things, we will leave. "It would be very hard to run out of Goyesca. Hopefully it doesn't happen."

Bulls yes, terraces no

The same problem has Carmelo García, the businessman from Sanlúcar. He has organized for August 22 a bullfight in Miura that Manuel Escribano, Daniel Luque and Pepe Moral will fight. "I have been selling tickets for 20 days with the current norm. How do I do it now? I am complying with the norms. I calculate that I have already sold 20% of the legal total allowed. The truth is that it would be a chore if they reduced the capacity even more ".

To prevent any "bad photography", Carmelo has chosen to leave "two seats free" apart. "Two in front, to the side and two behind. Two sold and two not . The images are very misleading. The problem is not with bullfights or concerts. The problem is on the terraces. It is worth going through the terraces , with the Youth piles up . In shows people are responsible and comply. On the street, no. "

He is sure that the company Lances de Futuro and Garzón have complied with the rules. "A lot of nonsense has been said. The Sanlúcar City Council is logically concerned and what they ask is that we be exhaustive with compliance with the law . We have a protocol that we are going to follow," he explains.

Doubts about the Port

From Linares, however, they are not so clear that Garzón has followed the rules. "That happens by taking the square out to tender. Neither by the City Council nor by the company have things been done well . The businessman was me until Garzón appeared. I prefer not to talk about the issue of El Puerto but, I already said "Those responsible have not done things well. As the party is, there has been no companionship," says Juan Reverte, who has already presented a fair with a poster of figures and another of young people for the last weekend of August in the town of Jaén.

"Subtracting hurts us, it is clear. It is not the time to win, but to think and add. The coronavirus has affected all companies. The situation of the bull is not unique," reflects Reverte, manager of the bullfighter Daniel Crespo, that left El Puerto on his shoulders last year. "We are not going to give rise to controversy. We are going to comply strictly."

If the Junta de Andalucía toughens the limitation of the capacity, "it would be necessary to pull back . One thing is to make an effort and another thing is to do the impossible. We want to move forward because at the moment that the world of bullfighting is there it is necessary to step forward . If it were unfeasible, even if we don't like to take steps back, we should do it. "
