The Government of Pedro Sánchez excludes bullfighting professionals from the special regime for artists in which they were included until the publication in the BOE, this Wednesday, of Royal Decree-Law 5/2022.

The Sánchez Administration has extended the legal protection of this special regime to the technicians and assistants of public shows, so punished during the pandemic.

In the new wording it does not mention bullfighting professionals.

"We are now in a legal limbo. What are we? We are not one thing or the other. We can only feel vilified," they add from the Union of Banderillos, the largest professional association.

Bullrings are also ruled out and replaced in the Royal Decree by a succinct mention of the generic "rings".

The Union has already put this matter in the hands of the legal office of the Fundación Toro de Lidia.

"It is of historical gravity. It is an insult. They have done it without warning."

The Royal Decree, according to the Official State Gazette, "adapts the regime of the special employment relationship of people dedicated to artistic activities, as well as the technical and auxiliary activities necessary for their development, and improves the conditions labor in the sector".

In this way, some beneficiaries of these conditions are updated.

The norm launched this Wednesday "recommends" modifying the previous Royal Decree "to adapt it to the new reality of the means of fixing cultural work", mentioning, among others, "streaming".

It follows, therefore, that those related to bullfighting do not form part, from this moment, of the means of fixing cultural work.

The Union understands this snub as one more since at the beginning of the pandemic, bullfighting professionals were also excluded from the aid granted by SEPE.

In the following two years, trial by trial, their rights have been recognized.

"We've had two tremendous years. It's very tiring."

Bullfighting was also left out of the cultural bonus issued by the Government.

Those who turn or have turned 18 in 2022 will be able to spend 400 euros on products, services and cultural activities, among which there is none related to bullfighting.

"Everything is part of the harassment of workers in the sector by the Government. We are sunk."
