Sumar registers a law in Congress to prohibit minors from being bullfighters and attending bullfighting shows

Sumar Plurinational Parliamentary Group has registered this Friday in the Congress of Deputies a bill for the protection of children and adolescents against the violence of bullfighting.

The objective of this Law is for the State to prohibit the participation of minors under 18 years of age as bullfighters and as members of the public in bullfighting shows.

This was announced this Friday by Sumar deputy Nahuel González during a press conference in the Congress of Deputies, where he highlighted that they are going to “speak with all the groups so that this bill becomes a reality.” “I think it will move forward with the support of the majority of groups, not with that of the extreme right.“he said.

The first article of the law establishes the prohibition of the entry of minors under 18 years of age into bullrings or authorized venues when bullfighting events take place, including bullfighting schools when they use animals in their practices.

The second article of the rule registered by Sumar in the Lower House establishes preventing minors from working as bullfighting professionals.

Furthermore, the law establishes that students in bullfighting schools must be of legal age. “In Spain, the age to participate in bullfighting schools in practical lessons with live cattle is fourteen years. We raise it until the age of majority.”said the Sumar deputy.
