• Andalusia. Were the security measures complied with in the El Puerto de Santa María bullring?
  • Covid-19. Bullfighting businessmen, given the reduction in capacity proposed by the Board: "La Goyesca would be unfeasible"

The Junta de Andalucía demands a separation of one and a half meters from those attending the bullfights that are held from now on in the autonomous community. The decision has been made in the third self-evaluation of the coronavirus expert committee held this Thursday in San Telmo and has been communicated by the Minister of Health, Jesús Aguirre, and the Minister of the Presidency, Elías Bendodo, who already dropped in recent days the possibility of taking this measure after the controversy caused by some images that apparently filled the Plaza de El Puerto.

"In the bullrings the use of masks will be mandatory, a separation of one and a half meters between the attendees and a maximum capacity of 50%", declared Bendodo. Until now, the Board allowed to make up for the lack of safety distance with the use of masks. Few squares could hold 50% of the maximum allowed capacity, observing a separation of one and a half meters between the public.

Thus, the legal capacity is substantially reduced. That is, in El Puerto, for example, there could be 5,300 people and now they would enter the power lines, with the new measure, 800 , according to the company's calculations. The reduction complicates the viability of the bullfighting shows already programmed in Andalusia , which had hung the poster according to the half capacity rule. Ronda, Linares or Sanlúcar celebrate bullfights in the coming days.

"I consider Goyesca lost , " the businessman from the Maestranza de Ronda told this newspaper hours before the Board communicated its decision. "When we know officially what happens, we will wait to make a final decision. But everything points to suspension," he warned. In Ronda, the reappearance in Spain of Roca Rey is scheduled along with Morante de la Puebla and Pablo Aguado.

The platform La Tortura No Es Cultura (Ltnec) has announced this Thursday that it will take legal action against four bullfights held in Andalusia (Osuna, Huelva, El Puerto de Santa María and Estepona) because, in its opinion, the public did not comply with the measures decreed to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
