Spain: Cantabria parliament says yes to bullfights

Cantabria parliament has rejected a bill by Podemos to ban bullfights in Cantabria. PP, PRC and Ciudadanos voted against the legislative amendment and PSOE abstained from voting saying bullfight is important cultural and artistic part of Spanish heritage. Ciudadanos answered to Podemos claim about anacrhronism of bullfighting by saying bullfight is very present in Cantabria as can be seen in Feria de Santiago bullfights in Santander and in Ampuero bullruns. According to Ciudadanos banning bullfight would be inappropriate of a civilized country.

Aplausos: El Parlamento de Cantabria dice sí a los toros.
