Letters to the Editor
Two readers on their thoughts about bullfighting and litter in Majorca.
No bullfighting
The Palma city council is in a very complicated situation over the bullfight.
Animal welfare
Calls for town hall to prevent Palma bullfight
Council claims bullfight cannot take place because the required paperwork has not been submitted.
Animal welfare
Bullfighting set to return to Palma
Bullfighting had effectively been prohibited, until the Constitutional Court intervened.
Animal welfare
No bullfight for the Muro fiestas
Muro is one of the last remaining bastions of bullfighting. Or was.
Majorca
Indoctrination and the missing million: the week in Majorca
Majorca's hoteliers were asked not to be alarmist; the attempt at communicating the benefits of the tourist tax was "dismal"; schoolchildren were at risk of being indoctrinated; and Madrid was making an appeal about bulls.
Animal welfare
Animal-welfare organisations back Balearic bullfight law
The proposed Balearic legislation on bullfighting is "the best possible option".
Bullfighting
Plans by the Balearic government to ban bullfighting have hit a brick wall... and they are going to have to go back to the drawing board.
Law
Eight new Balearic laws expected by the end of July
The Balearic parliament has so far this year approved only one law - for the Chambers of Commerce.
Ban
Madrid says that Balearic bullfighting legislation is unconstitutional
Proposed Balearic legislation, designed to prevent the staging of bullfights, may well end up going the same way as Catalonia’s legislation that banned bullfighting.
Animal welfare
Delayed legislation means bullfights will take place this summer
Podemos, who had insisted on prohibiting the correbou, now appear to be prepared to tolerate its continuing.
Animal welfare
New legislation will not outlaw the Fornalutx bull-run
Animal-rights groups have given the government an ultimatum of ten days to set out measures by which it will ban the bull-run.
Animal welfare
Animal-rights groups plan protests if bullfighting law is not approved
"It is incomprehensible that after more than 450 days (in government) they have been unable to approve the law."
Animal welfare
Government will respect legality in bullfighting legislation
"It is one thing to talk about animal protection, but quite another to pursue a legal nonsense."
Comment
Bulls don’t know politics
In today's Blog: “Bullfighting has been part of the tradition of the left, in the same way that it has become part of the tradition of the right, because it is our culture.”
