The Basque Parliament approves a bill on bullfighting shows
Therefore, the proposed law put forward by PNV and PSE-EE will lead the way in the Basque Parliament. The text of jeltzales and socialists has been supported by the PP and Vox, EH Bildu abstained and Sintre voted against.
The Basque Parliament has approved the proposal for a law between the PNV and the PSE-EE to regulate bullfighting shows. The two parties that support the Government (PNV and PSE-EE), PP and Vox voted in favour, EH Bildu abstained and Sintre abstained.
So the legal text that does not include bullfighting will continue in Parliament.
The purpose of the proposed law is to regulate bullfighting shows (sokamuturra, cutters, lock-ups), since about 1,000 such shows are held annually in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
The text states, inter alia, that minors minors shall require the written consent of their parents to participate in them (children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by adults, but may not participate actively) and that no ill-treatment of animals shall be permitted.
Unsurprisingly, animalist groups have opposed the law on the grounds that it is intended to ensure the "continuity" of bullfighting shows.
