The businessman Carlos Zúñiga has shown in the SER his sadness and surprise at the decision. Zúñiga talks about leaving the bench leg and asks for a correction. Otherwise, it does not rule out the judicial process.

The truth is that the name of the bulls is inherited from cows of 35 years ago and responds to the requirements of the regulations for the registration of births of fighting cattle in the Genealogical Book. In fact, it was the socialist government of Felipe Gonzalez the one that gave the green light, in 1986, to the Royal Decree on genealogy in the fighting bull where it is indicated that the bull inherits the name of the mother. Some of the teachers participating in the Fair accuse the mayor of misinformation and ask that bullfighting be removed from the political debate. It is Julián López, ‘El Juli’.

The end of the bulls has generated a cascade of reactions, also in the opposition. Ciudadanos, PP, FORO Asturias and VOX describe the attitude of the councilor as sectarian. They are José Carlos Fernández Sarasola, Alberto López Asenjo, Jesús Martínez-Salvador and Ignacio Blanco.

While the left applauds the decision. Laura Tuero, We Can; Aurelio Martín, United Left.
