The woman who interrupted the bullring in Palma this Thursday could be fined up to 30,000 euros for a serious violation of the Citizen Security Law. The National Police has already issued a sanction report and expelled her from the venue.
The animal rights activist who jumped into the bullring in Palma during the second bullfight of the summer is at risk of a fine of up to 30,000 euros. Her action, which lasted only a few seconds, has been classified as a possible serious violation of the Citizen Security Law.
The events occurred at the Coso Balear, where around 6,000 people were watching the event featuring Alejandro Talavante, José Mari Manzanares, and Roca Rey. The woman took advantage of the moment when the audience waved handkerchiefs to jump into the ring with a banner calling for the abolition of bullfighting.
An employee of the venue reacted immediately and subdued her with a judo hold before she could fully unfold the banner. This intervention allowed the bullfight to continue with hardly any interruptions and without injuries.
The Organic Law 4/2015 on the Protection of Citizen Security classifies the disturbance of security during public events or mass gatherings as a serious violation. The fine can range from 601 to 30,000 euros, depending on the Administration's assessment of the seriousness of the events and the risk generated.
The National Police identified the activist, issued the sanction report, and expelled her from the venue. It will now be up to the competent authority to determine the exact amount of the fine.
The regulations state that such violations can be punished with a fine ranging from 601 to 30,000 euros, an amount that will depend on the Administration's assessment of the seriousness of the events.
In terms of bullfighting, the night was marked by the triumph of Alejandro Talavante, who exited through the grand door after cutting three ears thanks to two outstanding performances. José Mari Manzanares earned one ear for his great thrust, while Roca Rey, still recovering from the serious goring he suffered this season in the Maestranza of Seville, did not achieve any trophies.
The image of the activist being subdued became one of the most talked-about moments of the night and could now have significant economic consequences for her.
