Cayetano Rivera has gone through quite a busy few weeks during this month of July. During the first week, in full celebration of San Fermín, he intervened on La 1 de Televisión Española to request the return of bullfighting to the network. A celebration in which life had to be played this past Tuesday. The right-hander jumped into the arena of the Plaza de Santander to help Roca Rey, who was embedded against the boards, before the bull made him jump into the air.
An unexpected accident that caught Eugenia Martínez de Irujo by surprise. The aristocrat herself was attending the concert that the singer Israel Fernández was offering that same night in the Patio de la Hospedería de San Benito, in Valladolid, when she heard the news. It was before the questions of the journalists of Europa Press, who wanted to know through her the status of her ex-brother-in-law. In the end, all they could catch was her disbelieving reaction.
Eugenia went to the concert calmly and with the desire to enjoy a night of flamenco. She even defended that it was “our culture” and the importance of promoting it in all corners. It was then that the reporter asked him about the blow that Cayetano had suffered. Her face paled, and she had to ask questions to make sure who they were talking about. “I get along very well with Cayetano. I didn’t know, I had no idea,” she said to the microphones.
The Duchess of Montoro also assured that she would call immediately to find out the extent of Cayetano Rivera’s injuries. All because of the crap she got trying to help Kingrock. The Peruvian bullfighter was trapped between the wall and the animal’s horns when he was preparing to perform a chest pass. A junior quickly managed to get the bull off the board, but it immediately charged at Rivera, blowing him up and breaking a rib.
The man from Madrid was precisely the protagonist of an outstanding moment in the broadcast of the San Fermín festivities on Spanish Television. During the fifth day of the celebration, he was interviewed on the special set of La 1 about the day, before launching a message addressed to both the network and the Government. Rivera called for the return of bullfighting to public television, criticizing the public entity for removing his profession from the screens.
“For too long I have been missing the bullfights on Spanish Television. I want to take this opportunity to remind this Government that it cannot continue to ignore bullfighting in a systematic way as it has been doing. I would like that for this new stage that awaits us from next July 23 they give us the place we deserve and that they recognize us for what we are, ”said the bullfighter during his intervention.
