Anti-Bullfighting Poster

The Spanish public walk past a poster denouncing the bullfighting bloodsport in Bilbaos old town, on 20th May 2022, in Bilbao, Cantabria, Spain. Bullfighting has been banned in Catalonia since 2011, but in the rest of the country, the conversation has switched since the onset of the pandemic. Where once the debate focused on prohibition, the question now is whether a lifeline ought to be granted to this ailing cultural industry. The current left-wing coalition government appears not to have the political will to explicitly prohibit what was once known as the “national fiesta”, or, conversely, to provide support to keep it running.
