New row in the Government.

Podemos has charged

Carmen Calvo

this Tuesday for her bullfighting allegation.

"You could be expelled"

from the PSOE, the general director of animal rights, Sergio Torres, has told the vice president of the Government and Eneko Andueza, spokesman for the Basque socialists and author of the book

Los toros, from the left

where Calvo defends bullfighting in the prologue that EL MUNDO has advanced.

Torres has attached an image of a socialist manifesto against the anti-bullfighting dated 1904. "If Pablo Iglesias Pose (sic) led the PSOE, you could be expelled," said the Podemos animalista.

"From respect, it is very surprising how currently

the defense of bullfighting can be argued from a progressive

perspective," he added.

"The PSOE, originally, rejected this show," Torres replied to a tweet in which Andueza promoted the book.

"Probably he would not do it, because Pablo Iglesias Posse was a tolerant man," answered the author, who has received death threats on social networks for being a fan of bullfighting.

"

Hopefully from the left the different would be tolerated in the same way as was done in the party to which

I

belong

. I am proud to be a member of the PSOE."

Both Ábalos, Minister of Public Works, and Carmen Calvo are fond of bullfighting.

The coalition government has ignored the bullfighting professionals who suffer the consequences of the coronavirus.

The SEPE offices have consistently denied the crews' request for help.

An official confessed to the Espejo Público program that they were following "orders from above."

As reported by this newspaper, Calvo and Ábalos imposed themselves on Iglesias in the government's bullfighting war:

"It is unsustainable and it must be fixed,"

two of the government's heavyweights took the floor in the Council of Ministers before the inaction of Yolanda Díaz , Minister of Labor.

It was decided then that the aid would land in a decree of the Ministry of Culture.

Weeks before this clash, the Ombudsman drew up a resolution against the Ministry of Labor,

in which he endorsed and agreed with bullfighting professionals

, after being excluded from unemployment aid for artists.

Carmen Calvo participated three years ago in the commemoration of the Generation of 27 organized by Miguel Ángel Perera in Seville.

"Bullfighters are also poets

. You have to become more present in the culture," he warned at the Ateneo ceremony.

"It's that you do the same as the rest of the artists. Even if yours are big words. You risk life and life is freedom."

Ábalos, grandson of the banderillero Carbonerito and a regular in the Callejón de Las Ventas, went to the bullfighter Román to thank him for his toast in Madrid.

"You cannot imagine, master, how much that toast of yours meant to me!

I received not a few expressions of affection and, to top my satisfaction, you gave me a bull and embroidered a great task."
