Just four days after Plaza México, the largest in the world, was filled to capacity with fifty thousand spectators, jubilant at the return of the bulls to the Insurgentes Ring in the Mexican capital after twenty months of suspension, Judge Quinta of District in Administrative Matters, Sandra de Jesús Zúñiga this morning again and provisionally suspended the bullfighting activity in Mexico City until next February 7 when the definitive suspension will be resolved. With this resolution, the La México company may file an appeal that in any case would not be resolved until next Friday, leaving in the air the celebration of the celebrations scheduled for February 4 and 5, the latter being the traditional Corrida de Anniversary.
The Mexican bullfighting soap opera goes back a long way and last December the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Nation lifted a suspension that had lasted twenty months. Judge Yasmín Esquivel, unanimously of the Chamber, revoked the decision of Judge Jonathan Bass, First District Judge, who had attended to the request of the Just Justice Association, which advocates for a healthy environment in which bullfights are not They have a place. Now it has been the All and Bulls Association for the Love of Bulls that proclaims that bullfighting involves animal abuse and torture.
What on Sunday was seen as a victory of freedom against intransigence, the same that hundreds of people showed with violence in word (insults) and deed (assaults on fans, material damage outside the bullring) in the surrounding area. of the bullfighting ring, is now once again in the balance of a judicial decision.
Nothing new, by the way.
