Nowadays I consider myself apolitical because of the incompetent politics we have in Spain, so don't misunderstand my opinion, I am not a conservative supporter. Let me ask you a question. Bullfights have been forbidden in Catalunya by a non-conservative party. At the same time, some other exclusively-catalan 'celebrations' such as 'correbous' (in which the bull usually becomes blind or drowned) are still on. My question is quite simple: Who is using that as a political strategy?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492309785902660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-21624065153944381592012-06-04T17:29:10.026+02:002012-06-04T17:29:10.026+02:00RT @cuentista4

It well might be the case that with the event they are creating more job positions than the other alternative. The company providing the animals will create employment, and apparently this event isd popular in the region and attracts lots of visitors that spend money in the town in bars, restaurants,etc. It is well possible that the 15.000 eur investment brings more revenue and jobs to the area than the direct investment in temporary employment.<br /><br />2) Some inhabitants of the town are commenting that his mayor has a history of corruption and they fear that, if tehy used the money for "job Creation", this money would not reach emp[loyment creation at all or if it does it will be to people close to the mayor and therefore be used to encourage clientelism.<br /><br />Please, if you anlize the issues more and do not jump into the easy and more evident conclussion, you will have a good blog in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-41816809872015277802012-06-04T16:51:34.097+02:002012-06-04T16:51:34.097+02:00Amigo, no te enciendas, que todos entendemos lo qu...Amigo, no te enciendas, que todos entendemos lo que ha querido decir xram.

The politicians reply the popular demand in part (incentives, prejudices and beliefs). They sometimes doesn't have the guts to execute impopular decisions. In most of Spain, bullfighting is a popular tradition. A proof? The results in these Extremadura's referendums. And many politicians doesn't want pay the election's toll.McManushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088476500480931667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-41246573170308186802012-06-04T15:45:39.253+02:002012-06-04T15:45:39.253+02:00And you're just a stupid... saying crap. :S Sp...And you're just a stupid... saying crap. :S Spain is a great country ;) And all of you are welcome ;)jeflopohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281666015297842171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-30877770145971887442012-06-04T15:43:23.069+02:002012-06-04T15:43:23.069+02:00In Spain there are too many people fighting for bu...In Spain there are too many people fighting for bullfighting disappear !!! : ) If it have not already disappeared, it's just because of the politics... not the people ofc. ;)jeflopohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281666015297842171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-81900094885536656842012-06-04T15:41:06.512+02:002012-06-04T15:41:06.512+02:00Firstly: I do not share that point of view, I am j...Firstly: I do not share that point of view, I am just trying to find a logical explanation for that. <br /><br />Secondly: I do not think people is stupid by itself, but circumstances may turn the vote to bulls. Perhaps, they see how in previous years the town increased incomes during the village carnival, and may be, in the surroundings the bullfighting really attracts people. I do not know, I do not live there. But they should know why they voted that.<br /><br />They reallity or the way they see the life can not be coincident with yours or mine. And we should accept this fact and accept they voted about what to do with their money, even if we like the result or not.<br /> <br />25% of unemployment, but, belive me, during the weekends the restaurants around here are full of people (may be because the other 75% that has a job, or part of the 25% that is paid in "B money"?, I do not know). For sure in that area the town will be full for the carnival.<br /><br />Also, the story is very populist "employment or bulls", ok, bulls may mean employment, is not it?, and employment, as I said, they do not even know what employment or to whom. I repeat, I do not share they point of view, but they live there, not me or you, and they know if it will attract people, or not.RaulVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625145396835383294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023149185091124683.post-45963594446338374792012-06-04T15:36:16.628+02:002012-06-04T15:36:16.628+02:00I'm Spanish (Barcelona).
