Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill argues that Law 18/2013 restricts the powers of the Autonomous Communities and municipalities to regulate bullfighting events.
  2. It also states that bullfighting events have dropped sharply and that they are an exception under animal protection laws, so they should no longer be common cultural heritage.
  3. The bill would repeal Law 18/2013, which regulates bullfighting as cultural heritage.
  4. Law 10/2015 on intangible cultural heritage would be amended to remove references to Law 18/2013. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
