Leading Spanish Bullfighter, Espl\u00e1 to defend bullfighting in the Catalan parliament
Luis Francisco Espl\u00e1, one of Spain\u2019s most famous bullfighters, is expected to appear in the Catalan parliament to defend bullfighting against the proposed legislation to ban it in Catalonia. According to some sources Joselito, also one of Spain\u2019s most well known bullfighters will also argue in favour of protecting bullfighting. <\/p>\n
Catalan political parties have asked \u00c1lvaro M\u00fanera known as \u2018El Pilarico\u2019, an ex bullfighter from Colombia who is now against bullfighting to appear in the Catalan parliament to put forward the argument against it. He is expected to appear alongside almost thirty other people who will take part in the debate over bullfighting during the course of next month<\/p>\n
The deadline for presenting candidates who will participate in the debate over bullfighting is 25th January. It is believed that a total of thirty names will be presented which will be evenly split between those speaking in favour of bull fighting and those against it. <\/p>\n
Another name that had been put forward by the pro bullfighting lobby is Seraf\u00edn Mar\u00edn, although there is some doubt over his appearance. <\/p>\n
The president of Ciudadanos-Partido de la Ciudadan\u00eda (C’s), Albert Rivera, said that Mar\u00edn had made a personal commitment to accept the invitation to appear before the Catalan parliament to give his point of view. Rivera also explained that he preferred Mar\u00edn over Espl\u00e0 or Joselito, because he was a Catalan bullfighter. <\/p>\n
The anti bullfighting lobby has revealed that the philosopher, Josep Maria Terricabras, and that ex Vice Chancellor of the Universidad Auton\u00f3ma de Barcelona, Llu\u00eds Ferrer and a member of the European Green Party would be amongst their candidates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
