Deputy Manuel Talayero Pariente presented a bill at the Donceles Palace in Mexico City aimed at eradicating the practice of bullfighting in the capital. This initiative arises amidst intense debate in the new ordinary session period of the local Congress.
The proposal seeks to reform the animal protection and welfare law of Mexico City to eliminate the exception that allows bullfighting, novilladas, and becerradas, considering them acts of mistreatment and animal cruelty. However, the lack of consensus and divisions within the Morena parliamentary group, which holds the majority in Donceles, complicate its approval.
The efforts of the Green Party of Mexico City to ban bullfighting continue, as they believe that the citizen consultation aimed at the same goal could stagnate in Congress due to existing doubts within Morena and the central government. The Green's persistence on this issue causes discomfort among some factions of Morena, who seek to reduce the tensions caused by these discussions.
According to internal sources, the debate on the ban of bullfighting divides opinions in the Donceles Palace, and the pressures from the Green Party are not well received in Morena, which seems to show signs of fatigue over a topic that still does not have a clear resolution in Mexico City. In this scenario, the Green has presented a new project in its attempt to increase pressure and advance the prohibition of bullfighting in the capital.
