   BARCELONA, 3 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, assured this Friday in the face of criticism against the decision to suppress the National Bullfighting Award: “I think that, frankly, they represent a minority in this country.”

He said this this Friday in statements to the media during his visit to the 42 Comic Barcelona, ​​which is held from May 3 to 5 at the Montjuic venue of Fira de Barcelona, ​​in reference to “fusses that he has read” after the announcement of suppress the award.

“If someone considers it appropriate in 2024 in Spain to award a prize to an activity that generates animal torture, they are free to do so. But we have considered, as the Ministry of Culture, that current Spanish society probably prefers that these types of activities not be awarded. “, he highlighted.
