Animalists and bullfighters meet this Saturday in Medinaceli in separate concentrations for the Toro Jubilo

The orography and configuration of Medinaceli, with a historic center at the top of the hill and an extension of the city at the foot, in the Estación district, will in principle mean that the two desired concentrations of opposing ideologies will not be will meet this Saturday in the town of Soria on the occasion of the Toro Jubilo, despite the fact that it will not be celebrated after the precautionary suspension adopted this week by the Contentious-Administrative Court. On the one hand, in favor of the celebration, that requested by the Toro Jubilo association, which must be carried out in the Plaza Mayor area – it has authorization from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. – where the arena is traditionally installed.

On the other hand, the opposite, called by Pacma at six in the afternoon and it must stay in the lower part of the cityin front of the Town Hall. A provision agreed “to avoid security problems due to possible confrontations between the two groups, which have opposing positions” regarding the celebration, said the Government Sub-delegation in Soria after the security meeting held yesterday at the Town hall itself.

Despite the distance – it takes half an hour to walk from one point to another – the security meeting held yesterday at The Town Hall itself looked into the system that will be deployed with two objectives: on the one hand, “guarantee the right of demonstration and assembly” of the two groups and “guarantee security”, underlined the subdelegate of the government in this province, Miguel Latorre, who called “for good work” so that “there are no conflicts.

The subdelegate, who did not detail the troops that will be deployed, stressed that the system will have citizen (Usecic) and rural security patrols “to make sure everything runs smoothly.” It will have “a sufficient and proportionate number of agents to control the situation in the event of a complication of any nature”, indicated the Sub-delegation. This is not the first time that animal rights activists have gone to Medinaceli to protest on Jubilo Bull Day, but the difference with other occasions is that this year there will be no bull embolado “.
