WHY WANT JOSE THOMAS smear? The controversy over the award of the Gold Medal of Fine Arts, the bullfighter Francisco Rivera by the Ministry of Culture not only has not subsided, but promises to burn the bullfighting season in the night which Fallas de San José. The bulls face of the heart. It's funny that this happens just a murderer who once asked courts to limit the media talking about him only by his role as a bullfighter. But now it turns out that the much hated magazines and talk shows are pink thing to defend him tooth and nail (well, only some and those who have friends and interests), while bullfighting critics and fans questioned the Minister Cesar Antonio Molina (as discussed in their circle the minister does not think any explanation is that prefer not to add fuel to the fire) for this concession so out of place and that Rivera and is known as the "medals." Best of all is to see how far the 'river' want to attack the 'Tomas' and all that happens is to question the greatness of the Galapagos bullfighter in his first appointment at the failures came through the front door, cut two ears and shut down their throats with his temper and his art which were carried The Hello! to the ring. José Tomás, the god of stone, threw his veranda to Paco Camino, who attended the fight and showed that in the square there is controversy worth. And all this still expected to Cayetano Rivera, Curro Vázquez and his uncle, Thomas and deciding on road after recommending a Morante de la Puebla better not fall on the streets. to see how the leg out after that blunder and to see if the end will be right who say that the big loser of this debate (with Francisco has relaunched to pose as the victim) is just Cayetano, who going to have to fight at his brother duo Fran and leave the name of Cayetano to dry for a couple's Rivera. At least that's the rumor circulating through the alleys.
RUNNING A Picassian .- (End. Two videos). I have to admit that I have no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is such a thing and I think the organizers, either. Have organized "something" and have very little care, to the point that does not appear in the lineup the Bulls will fight and ... that the show is called, Corrida de Toros. course who, seeing the lineup of fighters, fighting, fighting what they say, impossible. THE CONFERENCE. "PICASSO AND LUIS MIGUEL Dominguin." was convened at the Plaza de la Merced, where Pablo Picasso was born and lived and was scheduled and announced - that the limit of assistance was related to the capacity of the venue. course if the City is interested in the commemoration Picasso museum - tourism crisis - conceals it. to eight in the evening, we had to wait standing in a hall very dull. The "room" was a hallway wide, with wall on both sides and chairs, very similar to those used in the old Instituto Cervantes of Madrid - Fortuny street - during sixth grade and high school. Luckily who talked and talked, we forgot everything. "City officials? None. And, as everyone knows, Picasso was born here. I'm nothing Seville, I have to recognize the excellence with which the town of Betis, watch your stuff. Malaga is a disaster. I have the luck of the teacher, is an amateur, my twin brother. He defined the bullfighter almost like I had done it with a "but." The dominant word - was so much - I fall short, I prefer "matador", which seems to me more broadly. Miguel was struggling from the start of the bull with his cape - before biting the bull - is difficult to master, but it can handle the bull to do what needs to be done and to do so, we must understand bulls must think very quickly in the face of the bull and you must know it. I return to the Bulls for you,
me, Rafael.
For you, the ring
Ay! more years that fear!
Luis Miguel.
Oh, great bullfighter in Spain!,
That poster!

- the biggest of your life -
I propose,
Luis Miguel.
You, the only matador,
Picasso's pink and gold
Pablo Ruiz Picasso, the bull,
and I, the chopper ... We had the friendship of the two, based on the fact that torero never approached the artist trying to "get" something and Picasso, smarter than hunger, it was realized from the beginning. He declined, however, clarify the reasons for the breakdown of both. I know first hand who is connected with the felicitous phrase of Salvador Dalí "Picasso is a Communist, me neither." The painter was very conservative - to the behavior of others - And also friend of the very "progressive" Lucía Bosé, Miguel and was angry when she was separated because of him. Don Paul, I was a Bluebeard. Throughout the conference showed that Bose was not a saint of the devotion of the speaker, in my opinion the best of all women of the bullfighter, was the last, Rosario Primo de Rivera. Too bad I did not get married before - are aware of young people, could have happened - because with that mixture of blood, only God knows what could have "come out" of such a union. A Dictator, a pirate, a Nobel prize?
in the ink is left the day that Picasso did not come to Malaga by a hair. The aircraft taxi - and then called - was waiting for Don Camilo Alonso Vega Franco had orders to cross the border any person to accompany Michael, although Doing so lacking proper documentation. The shift of the painter's wife - redder than the blood and anti-English for construction - slowed the wishes of Malaga, realizing that if the painter came to tread Spain, and would not return. Was intended "one of whitebait, but it was not possible. It is probably politically incorrect to tell.
Festival held to commemorate the eightieth birthday of Picasso, took place in an area South of France - Vallauris - where the party was not authorized. Had to undertake it, not to kill the bulls, but eventually, they went to the painter so that if it were a Roman emperor and he, with the thumbs down, caused the death of Burel. Exceptional boy swords.

AMOROS INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR. BULLS AND LITERATURE.
not easy to tell in a few paragraphs of an intellectual activity as Andrés Amorós. If we stay in the first impression, a teacher could be described as accessible and courteous, owner of a copious library, theater and expert on bullfighting. Always will find the list of the most knowledgeable of Ramón Pérez de Ayala, Clarín and Manuel Machado. However, the interview that I submitted is somewhat unorthodox approach. The truth is that I have not even set a questionnaire. The reason is clear: to speak with a love of literature bulls and just always lead one to thoughts I had not anticipated. Andrés Amorós was cultural director of the Fundación Juan March, director of the National Classical Theatre Company and director of the Institute of Performing Arts and Music. His work includes over a hundred titles, and their quality has earned him the National Essay Award, National Review Literary Fastenrath of the Royal English Academy, Jose Maria de Cossio and Arts Valencia. There are therefore few reasons to admire this thinker, whose modesty should not forget that is, besides other things, Professor of English Literature at the Faculty of Philology at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Academic Honor Real Academia de Cultura Valenciana. Amorós seems to have lost the taste for reading and go to the bulls with the daily friction of life. His new book, Luis Miguel Dominguin, the number one (The Sphere Books) shows that also has an extremely evocative emotional geography. ANDREW , WHAT AGE BEGINS TO BE CONSIDERED YOU A FAN TO THE BULLS? was barely five years old when my father, a great enthusiast, took me to see a bullfight. Of course, that precocity is due to my family tradition without which the bulls were discovered later, perhaps during adolescence. was predestined. guess, anyway I wanted. The reality is that often when I talk to people the world of bullfighting, are astonished that have memories so old, but I insist: it is not my doing, for he who took me to the place was my father, a man very familiar world of bullfighting, bullfighters and taurófilo friend like my grandfather, who was a veterinarian Plaza de Toros de Alicante. IMAGINE THAT YOUR MEMORIES so distant from those early experiences as a spectator ... cherish memories of the bullfighting world since 1947, shortly before his death "Manolete." Now there are many intellectuals who are going to the arenas, but come with the preconceived idea of \u200b\u200bwriting or because they have read to Federico García Lorca. What IF THAT WAS NOT LOAD LITERARY? I'm a fan walk that I went to the bulls for many years without having read Lorca and non-write anything. Then it turns out, years later, I have finished writing, but not with the preconceived idea culturalist. You see, I I consider myself an ordinary fan. In any case, a good amateur, because it took many years. SI TALK BULL AND LITERATURE, ALMOST SEEMS FORCED TO START FOR THE SUMMER OF 1959, WHEN AND ANTONIO LUIS MIGUEL Dominguin ORDÓÑEZ SHOWED THEIR RIVALRY THE WAY THAT WE DESCRIBE THE HEMINGWAY IN "THE BLOODY SUMMER." I lived near that "bloody summer", immortalized by Hemingway in the series of articles he wrote for Life magazine. And I went through a very simple reason is that my father was a close friend of Luis Miguel, whom I have known since childhood home. Were you with him during the season? Yes, that year 1959 Dominguín accompany all summer, from July to August. During that season, he stayed at home sometimes. The truth is that it was very interesting in two ways, taurine and cultural, because I was a young person under twenty years, but was deeply rooted love for literature. SHOULD BE A PRIVILEGE TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE Dominguin and Ordonez. Thanks to the bull, I got to meet very special people. For example, Ernest Hemingway, who was traveling with Ordonez, while I went with my father and Luis Miguel. It was then that I met Orson Welles, who impressed me because it was an extraordinary genius, and the actress Lauren Bacall. What EXPERIENCED HOW DOES A YOUNG AGE AS YOU, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE CELEBRITIES? Well, I usually have one of the days during which Luis Miguel was living in our house in Hondarribia, a knock at the door. Prompted by my mother, went to open and to my surprise, I found that it was Deborah Kerr, who came to see Dominguín ... I also remember another occasion, before starting the run, when I was playing table Paco Camino pong with ... well, it is clear what is special about that world that I was lucky enough to enjoy. DID FORMED AND AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MEANS TO INTELLECTUAL LIDIA? I think my concept of bullfighting And not want to seem pedantic - it is then curdled, next to my father watching bullfights, and seeing in particular two extraordinary teachers, Luis Miguel and Ordonez. Unfortunately, I think his was the last major competition taurine. TRUE. fans miss big killers there are two distinct but first class, with a very strong rivalry like that. Corrochano says there was a sort of agreement, because, in his deathbed, the father of the Dominguín asked to do so. But I do not recall, that summer, each suffered three serious horns, which means there was a very obvious pique, because they were also totally bullfighters and as different as people. Undoubtedly, such competition existed. WHAT WAS YOUR TREATMENT WELCOME TO THE FAMILY? I'm very fond of Welcome, which have been all good fighters. It is clear that responding to a school and outside the art of each, must know how to dress, how you have to walk on the square, how to behave, where to be placed and how to get to remove. Among other things, all that has been largely lost. "SO YOU THINK? do not mean to offend, but many of the current agents are businesses, just worried about issues like money and contracts. A Martial Lalanda liked to say he had been for no longer representative, but an artistic adviser. If Jesulín Ubrique, matador Enrique Ponce and today all had been accompanied by a great veteran who will explain these things in the profession, had come much further. I have just quoted MARTIAL LALANDE, ANOTHER CHARACTER ON MUCH YOU KNOW ... Marcial Lalande is one of the smartest men I've met in my life. Several journalists had set out to do a book but he, who knew a little about my background, came to me and said he wanted to do this book with me, it meant a serious text and not a hagiography. I was delighted to collaborate with him in that work was called Martial bullfighting Lalande. How would you describe Luis Miguel Dominguin? The readiness of Dominguín was extraordinary. His was an overwhelming personality, and he liked to do a thousand things to shock people and be friends with people like Picasso, but of course, aware of his talent taurine, returning to the ring. WHAT IS YOUR CONCEPT OF TAUROMAQUIA? is that I learned with my father and people like Lalanda or Luis Miguel. Everything is based on the fight, that is, to do a task in accordance with the terms of the response. Years ago, the bull was a fierce animal, difficult and transmitting emotion, and the matador first thing I had to do was master the difficulties of the bull and, from there, create a task aesthetics. But we have sought a new kind of animal that allows a new kind of slaughter and that appeals to new audiences. THINGS HAVE CHANGED, IS NOT IT TRUE? When we say that now he fights better than ever - famously - it makes me smile ... no doubt there will ever fought not more beautiful than ever now, because art is refined and as this is possible with a much softer bull that is left to do. And that, what are the consequences? There are many that are well run, where they cut ears and people leave happy, but do not convey that emotion to me is a fundamental element the party. I do not want either the Roman circus or be a wild barbarian, but bullfighting is not a ballet. Is to create beauty but on the basis of a fierce bull, complicated, difficult, powerful ... When a viewer of today judged that a bull can torearlo even he, here we see the end of the party. NOSTALGIA DO YOU PRODUCE? There is a growing aestheticism, a mannerism that Ortega y Gasset observed and for many years. I miss that sense of fighting before, where everything was responding to a sense, to one unit at a bullfighting ... For example, before it was common for the three take off, take away competition, rivalry ... I am now a run magnificent and there has not been a parry. Well, this does not correspond with my idea of \u200b\u200bthe fight. As bullfighting has become a mass spectacle, the effect is greater many times. AND ... not want to sound like an old nostalgic. I'm glad that young people go to the square and the party is a show with a huge social base, but I miss the deals seen as a more complete set. If the bullfighters are any easy sensationalism is more successful than the purity and classicism, it will point to that. Changing the subject: YOU HAVE REVIEWED WITH DEEP CONNECTION BETWEEN BULLS AND CRITICAL STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND CULTURE AS BULLS, WRITERS AT THE FESTIVAL (DE ANTONIO MACHADO A ANTONIO GALA) AND THE BULLS IN THE LITERATURE, INCLUDING THIS LAST IN THE SPLENDID VOLUME VII THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE BULLS OF COSSÍO. One thing is certain: the writer must know that world and live naturally, because if not stay on the outside. The trouble is that so impressed the outside that can fall very easily into the topics ... There is another complication, namely that long bullfighting has been identified with traditionalism, anti-Europeanism and reactionary, due to which many intellectuals turned their backs on the party and did not know. was something of a taboo, RIGHT? I do not intend any apologetic, but the fighting has always been a show English popular, it was useful to some people and not others. Often mentioned among taurófilos to Ortega, Pérez de Ayala, Américo Castro, Bergamin ... they represent a wild right, pure and anti-European? Quite the contrary. way I see it TOO. But these are errors that occur as a long dictatorship of Franco. Belittle many things we do not make sense and bullfighting can not be identified with reactionary political tendency in any way. MANY POETS HAVE IDENTIFIED WITH THE BULLS. For poetry is adecuadísimo bullfighting theme. Any person with a poetic sensibility that go to a place, find the deals now magical. There are many and varied poetic features in bullfighting. Rafael Alberti sees it as something joyful, Lorca as tragic. Emphasis on different shades, there are many poets who have expressed in his work the theme of the party. TELL ME WHAT TEST? Well, the essayists have warned the interest of the art of fighting from different perspectives. Rites and games of bull, Angel Alvarez de Miranda, is a crucial test to understand the ancient roots of this show. Adrados Professor Rodriguez has also written some amazing articles about bullfighting in relation to Greek ritual slaughter ... By the way, regarding this prehistory of the party, I am opposed to something that holds my dear friend Fernando Sanchez Drago , who often associated with Spain bulls magic. DO NOT BELIEVE IN THAT LINK Esoteric? As we know, bullfighting is quite the opposite. Is a product of the Enlightenment and Reason. Emerges in the eighteenth century to encode a popular show and creates, therefore, the functional architecture by which a party regular explosive. We are attracted to this element of magic and irrational, but the fighting is not a pure chaos. Rather, it is a cosmos governed by laws very specific and very wise. WHAT IS MODERN WRITERS TAURINO HAVE SO INTERESTED? Another good knowledge of the bulls is my friend Antonio Gala, whose understanding of bullfighting is not inconsistent with his love of animals, their sensitivity, exquisite and refined image. With him I went to the place and once we have participated together in discussions bullfighting. Gala makes a statement which is to me a fact and is above political differences, ideological and economic, both attached to the Hispanic peoples, on one side of the Atlantic: the English language and culture of the bull. is something that is an archetype. In France, where bullfighting live an extraordinary development, bullfighting is identified with the Hispano. In France there is a fair flags English and try to imitate the atmosphere of a fair Andalusian. The same applies to French writers enticed by the art of bullfighting. Jean Cocteau was drawn to flamenco and bullfighting. In 1926 he published Montherlant Bestiaries. And Jean Cau was traveling with Jaime Ostos during the 1960 season, wrote "The ears and tail" and another book, I think still to be translated into English, where he talks about Dominguín, Ordonez and Hemingway, who harshly criticizes. DO YOU THINK THIS INTEREST OF FRENCH WRITERS HAVE A SOLID FOUNDATION Or is it circumstantial, and EPIDERMAL SOMETHING? The interest from artists such as Cocteau, and Cau Montherlant be to bullfighting and flamenco are very serious matters, and we should not be ashamed or question over the topic, because they represent a typical English art. WHAT YOU THINK THAT BEST-SELLER by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, O mourning for ME? is a novel inspired by the life of Manuel Benitez "the Cordoba." It is a book I have read carefully and I enjoy a lot, but as a fan bother me quite a number of inaccuracies grotesque, as would occur if I write about a typical French sport without it completely. "The Cordoba is a very interesting case, though, despite its merits, I do not like the guy practicing bullfighting, it does not respond to a classic line and falls into the stark reality. It is also true that all professionals respect him a lot. IS A BRAVE MAN AND ORIGINAL. NO DOUBT OF THAT. There is a striking book about his record, "That's ... El Pipo, Manolete, El Cordoba ", written by the manager that launched him to success, Rafael Sánchez" the Pipo. " As a book published by the author, has just circulated and few people have read. In its pages account "Pipo" how could assemble a number publicity around the bullfighter, using propaganda techniques peculiar, close to the picaresque. ANYWAY IT SEEMS HARD TO BRING THE ISSUE TAURINO NOVEL AND THE DRAMA WITH LITERARY CATEGORY. 's narrative is derived from the great danger to the serial or melodrama, as in "El Niño de las Monjas" by Juan López Núñez. It is logical that the recent novel react against it. For example, Fernando Quiñones bulls a few stories that are nothing customs. The fighting serves as a metaphor for life, reflecting a human conflict where the hero is faced with tragedy, death and failure. In fact, the tales of Borges liked Quiñones, it was nothing castizo or customs. indeed. Modestly I've done some stories bull on that line. People taurine is a little amazed by them because they are like a Greek tragedy. Regardless of the bullfighters wear costume, his is a tragic situation quite fruitful for literature. What theater? I ask because OTHER SPECIALTY THAT IS YOURS. The difficulty of the subject theatrical taurine is that it is very difficult to represent bullfighting with the limitations of a small stage. However, dramatic literature of our century there are works that address the theme of the party, as the demigods, Frederick Oliver, The case of the man dressed in violet, Miguel Mihura, the gore, Alfonso Sastre, Bullfighting, of Juan Antonio Castro, And bull crowned by Francisco Nieva, and Ramirez, Jose Luis Miranda. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER OF PLAYWRIGHT WAS A LEGENDARY TORERO. I refer of course, A Ignacio Sanchez Mejias. Note that he is a figure that beautifully embodies the union of bullfighting and culture discussed here. I had the opportunity to meet her daughter in Seville. I do not like to disturb the family, so I had finished the biography of Sánchez Mejías without resorting to their relatives. However, the image of the matador who gave me his daughter did not change anything that I had provided Alfredo Marcial Corrochano and Lalande, who torearon with him. His tragic death in the ring gave rise to a myth, but it was mostly a person of enormous cultural and vital concern. was undoubtedly an intelligent MAN. appears in family photos riding, swimming, with the football team "Betis", stepping on a plane ... It was that kind of character without having studied had an extraordinary intellectual alertness, and this is confirmed by Jorge Guillen and Rafael Alberti . It is curious that he told his father he studied medicine, when in fact it was over and the school. And it's true in life ... being smart is good for everything, but what is even bullfighting. To a tragic situation, grazing at the site the possibility death, the smart get ahead. Sánchez Mejías was intelligent and understood very well what it was that group of 27, the new Spain and modernity. WAS GOOD FRIEND OF THOSE YOUNG WRITERS 27. He liked being with the poets, but not be pedantic or propaganda. Simply, they were friends and had fun with them. With that concern, at one point that bullfighting was short and he felt the need to do new things in life. So wrote plays and even a novel which, incidentally, I am still looking to read. ALMOST SEEMS OBVIOUS QUESTIONS him to write about this character. I teach literature and I like the bulls, so it was logical he had finished preparing a book on Sánchez Mejías and an essay on the "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías", Lorca. In 1998 I went to actor Peter Martin at several places where I commented on "Cry" and then recited the actor, is something that comes very much to people. However, this is a very difficult poem to understand and there are many things to unravel it. GUZMÁN Urrere April 15, 2008. AMOROS, biographical data.

OF THAT PARTY WITH THIS AVA GARDNER - THE OF ZP - CON BELEN ESTEBAN . BULLS IN PRESS JOURNALS OF THE HEART. FRAN RIVERA MEETS THE "SHAME TORERA" ROAD AND THOMAS. Usually the presence of Fran Rivera in the tabloids this week makes the controversy over the delivery of the Medal for Fine Arts moves to the covers of magazines. Hello! takes the side of the son of Paquirri. According collected this week leading journals in the tabloids, Fran Rivera has already replied to the bullfighters who criticized the government granted him the Medal of Fine Arts. He did so from the town of Murcia Cotilla Towers, where he fought in a charity festival. Hi, Ten Minutes and reads a sentence agree in emphasizing the matador: "Happiness has brought me and my family will not sour me one." As told Telecinco and Antena 3, and collect the journals, some of them on the cover, the award has made him "very excited" and is "extremely proud" that it has granted, "happy for me and mine" . did not enter the controversy, saying only that respects everyone's opinion. But the truth is that the world of bullfighting has been divided between those who support Frank Rivera and reject the harsh letter of Joseph Thomas and Paco Camino, and who, like them, are premature for the matador achieve the award. Hello, praising the torero and his brother in an extensive report which also talks about his girlfriends and accused of "inappropriate" attitude of Thomas and Way, explained that the bullfighter who started the controversy was Morante de la Puebla A few days after it knew of the award. He stated that it was "a disgrace" and that the prize was "a clear example of knowledge and great leaders" to deliver the Award have on bullfighting and art. " The magazines say that these statements led to Cayetano Rivera to refuse to fight with Morante. Cayetano himself wrote a letter to ABC to defend his brother and dismissing as "despicable" statements Morante. The same day he would publish his famous letter to Thomas Road and announcing they would return the medals. Ten Minute explains what bullfighters have decided to position with one and all. In support of the delivery of the medal would be in addition to Cayetano, Spartacus, The Cordovan, Ortega Cano, Finito de Córdoba, Javier Conde and the other usual gossip, Jesulín Ubrique. Against would be located, as well Morante, and Thomas Road, Joselito y Canales Rivera, cousin of the bullfighter. The first talk of "disrespect." The latter believe that has been given too soon. The subject speaks to Elizabeth Reyes, bullfighter girlfriend is in the center of the controversy. Says that if he gave the medal "is because it deserves it."
And you know what, America?
LET'S TALK OF BULLS.
STATEMENT OF INTENT .- \u200b\u200b
As a fan of our party I care and am very interested in the Toro Bravo. Not that I define as "torista" which I'm not, but never "I lost face" the bull, because it would have meant me lose half at least, the Fiesta and I do not want to lose anything from it.
is called Plaza de Toros bullfighting not, then the bull is fundamental. called Fighting Bulls, after inescapable knowledge necessary to learn to deal: and the peace of mind necessary to think in the face of the animal, in tenths of a second - in this lies the value - why it's so difficult to be "contained" by this and because regularity - so hard to maintain in any facet of life - even more is a profession so thorny. And because few intelligent beings "in that "we must be much, much more than the exercise of any other profession. Having never been butcher, I neglected because of the weight of the Burel. I'm interested, their age and fine appearance. No age or without fine appearance, no excitement, no seriously, and anything that is done "before" it is necessary to put a "coefficient of Deduction." It's true: Los Utrera - even shaved - also caught and sometimes even hurt. But anyone who thinks at the end of Manolote, agreed most of the plasma in a bad state that it provided - that was what determined his death - in the antlers of the Miura "Islero" the butt, in itself, mortal.Y was not called a matador, so I knew I could never be a "lose the ear" by the sword: I think that with the sword, won the ears, never get lost because they had not gained from advance, but the "sword" - so they like to call - was on track to achieve them, but nothing more.
My bullfighter is not what makes it more beautiful, nor that he fights best games, but he that "more bulls will fit on the head." Which surprised me, for example, with a change of land then demonstrated wise. He who knows that she deals with, which dominates land and inclinations, in short, which has "site." And if they blow the puck, get inspired and artisan shows as an artist, icing on the cake.
I had to meet the sixties, to dare to write such a complicated subject. My enduring memory of Don Gregorio Corrochano - also director of "Spain" in Tangier - who both insisted on teaching me during my early years in Ceuta. In his words and his pen and the "siege" of Luis Miguel Dominguin in the arena, I drank to try to understand, assess and compare.
The three, when Morante seemed payo. Down, Sir Francis on May 26, 1967, when, really, "came" in Madrid.
RIVERA, GOLD MEDAL . I read the news to burladero (dot com) was mocking, funny and unfunny joke Conon of alcohol, "Rivera, Gold Medal of Fine Arts." The joke is not. The Council of Ministers Friday, February 20 certifies the death of the seriousness of the award to bullfighting also to explain: "After reaping success in different places, from 2000 (Francisco Rivera) shortened the number of priority actions to refine its technique that is now more aesthetically pleasing, restful and deep (sic). This is demonstrated in his last tasks notable among which are the Feria de Madrid from 2001 to 2002. " The explanation is, at least, "coner. The prestige of the prize that was born and his grandfather (Antonio Ordonez) dies with the grandson (Rivera Ordóñez). And not give more. Forget that they have not given to Pepin Martín Vázquez, Diego Puerta, Paco Ojeda, Emilio Muñoz, Joselito César Rincón, and on its payroll include Curro Romero, El Viti, Alvaro Domecq, Pepe Luis Vázquez, Rafael de Paula, Antoñete Enrique Ponce and José Tomás, among others. Do not bother history. Quevedo wondered who would be so severe so as not to laugh at "bestial ignorance that seeks to present to extinguish the memory of the future world." All things considered, be it only Gold Medal today to make you shoot you without a plate the righteous Bermejo. ZABALA DE LA SERNA.
criticized the Ministry of Culture. PACO WAY: "I DISAGREE WITH THE SYSTEM BUT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST RIVERA." The bullfighter Paco Camino, José Tomás returned with the Medal of the Arts of bullfighting that was in 2005, has come out against the interpretations that make this rejection. The criticisms were directed at government, not Rivera Ordonez. " I disagree with the system and assessment to grant it, but I have absolutely nothing against Rivera Ordóñez," said Paco Camino told the Agencia EFE. The bullfighter insisted on "the love I have for Francisco Rivera Ordonez as a person and as a bullfighter, he and his family. To this day between us has been much love and much respect. When we embrace me and I him. And nothing and nobody will disturb such a good relationship, I would not really. Another thing is what these medals supposedly the art of bullfighting. "Clear road and that" it is not acceptable formula giving the Ministry of Culture for this recognition. Thus, it has been the straw that broke a glass that was full years ago. No need to mention names or make less than anyone, that everyone knows who is who in this profession, and how. Simply put, I am in total disagreement with the manner of granting this medal, and I reject mine now. "Asked Road" when will the medal to the genius of the art of bullfighting called Pepin Martín Vázquez ? ", he has the answer by saying that" it would be nice to be interested for him, and so the true story would not be so ephemeral. "Path has more names, that of Diego Puerta, which also defines another question" Can you be both bolder and more artist door? ", and other contemporary, Julio Aparicio ," teacher in the broadest sense of the word bullfighter. More names claims, that of Angel Peralta "authentic revolutionary bullfighting, which observed the highest standards of classicism" and also the rejoneador Alvaro Domecq Romero , "so long at the summit, and whose activity still removal is excessive love for the bull and the horse. "There are many retired bullfighters very important for his career, and to be recognized at all, would have to wait those are active. Do not want to say more, since no it is forgotten to list, let alone some media interpreted this as a war between bullfighters. Not at all. He has touched Rivera Ordóñez, but he has no guilt. And it will feel proud of his medal, as do others. "" What's sad are the parameters that are used to designate the winners. And notice that I did not mean as much fuss has been assembled, "concluded Way.

" I believe that the Council of Ministers is prostituted. A Puerta Diego should have given the medal even before me. With what they have merited Diego and go and give the award to bullfighters who have come much later. "With these words Paco Camino expressed dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Culture's partner Onda Cero Sevilla , Ignacio de Cossio. Had not yet taken a decision to the Gold Medal of Fine Arts that was right in 2004, but had been granted to Francisco Rivera Ordonez. Yesterday, before the hype generated, tried out Camino Efe: "The affection I have for Francisco Rivera Ordóñez, personally and as a bullfighter, he and his family. To this day between us has been much love and much respect. When we embrace me and I him. And nothing and nobody will disturb such a good relationship, I would not really. Another thing is what these medals supposedly the art of bullfighting. " He explains Way "is not acceptable formula of the Ministry of Culture to give this recognition. Thus, it has been the straw that broke a glass that was full years ago. No need to mention names or make less than anyone, that everyone knows who is who in this profession, and how. Simply put, I am in total disagreement with the manner of granting this medal, and now I reject me. "Ministry sources claimed yesterday to have had no notice or the letter or the awards handed people. "It is normal for them not yet arrived, but it's actually the act of José Tomás y Camino" stated Salvador Boix, assignee of Joseph Thomas. However, the Ministry pointed out that to receive Nor would reporting statements. Yes Who did you meet on the issue was to Vice Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, who said: "The Government respects all positions" and argued that "are medals that proposes a jury that their decision recognizes the career of different professionals in all areas. "What the Ministry of Culture could not imagine after the last award of the Medal of Fine Arts to Francisco Rivera Ordóñez is that it would raise the dust of controversy that has spilled and divided in large part to bullfighting. Rebelled and put into weapons. Some defend and extol the beauty of art: "The gesture of José Tomás and Paco Camino is shame bullfighter, is loaded with substance and symbolism, "said Salvador Boix. Yesterday, another of the winners, the right-hander Rafael Jerez de Paula, did so his assessment of what happened: "I do not get into whether Rivera Ordóñez deserves the award or not, it is up to the Ministry. But I have it clear that I would only return my medal by Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete." Nor Enrique Ponce, through his father Victoriano Valencia wanted to enter the theme: "Enrique is not a man of controversy, he prefers not to get into things like that." cutting through an issue that is raising real blisters among bullfighters. Morante de la Puebla lit the fire and the rest came alone. A bullfighter's statements followed the veto Seville's brother Francisco, Cayetano Rivera, who this year refused to fight with Morante. The controversy is fully served, when added immeasurably José Tomás and Paco Camino. The season will make the roads Francisco, Cayetano, José Tomás Morante and intersect again and again in Spain in the sun and shadow, fights and more fights, to be held in the season. Rumors confirmed not just suggest that maybe some more of the winners could be added to the gesture of José Tomás and Paco Camino. Be seen whether the rejection is a point and followed or the story finds its end.
Reason.
to start: Sir Francis Way - toreador of Seville, never "torero de Sevilla" - has every right in the world to say what he pleases and to return - or sell, or throw - whatever is yours. But that does not come with stories, if the medal had been awarded the Martin Vazquez, would not be so offended, so yes that is against Rivera Ordóñez, to which also has every right in the world. Before Martin Vazquez, Julio Aparicio - the de la Fuente del Berro - Peralta or Domecq, in my opinion, should be accorded to Antoñete to Viti, Joselito, a Ponce, Roberto Dominguez, Liria, a Esplá, a Fundi to ... Value Diego's case is not moot, and it deserves what he pleases. But above all, recognize that for the likes colors were Raul Must go to the selection? Well, that, that every English is a potential coach. Let's go to the heart of the matter: the brutal intervention of this government that we suffer, he wants to tell us the appropriate times to use the bathroom. The Rivera Ordóñez, are very "media." Horns put a daughter of the House of Alba is something we dare not worldwide. And the government, which governs and moves only in key electioneering, has decided to "jump on the bandwagon cheap" media and "stand in the picture" once again. Rivera could have been a good bullfighter, if he had tried. Started well in the hand of his grandfather, but separated from him, not wanting to go the expensive circuit bullfighters. He would not try, that's his problem. Cruces Except for bullfighting festivals Charity Charity - authentic and not as organized in Zahara de los Atunes Rivera family from Paquirri times, for the benefit of Rivera's family - the bullfighters have to give them left ears - yet a government that lives back to the Fiesta - of medals, opportunistic flights and peripatetic lyricism. As José Tomas - another media where they exist - no more of Sir Francis, to open his mouth, however much you have to do it right, cause me mirth.
AFTER DISQUALIFICATION GRANTED TO RIVERA ORDÓÑEZ .-
PACO WAY AND RETURN YOUR THOMAS JOSEPH MEDALS OF FINE ARTS OF "SHAME" After the controversy over the award to Francisco Rivera Ordóñez Medal to Fine Art of Bullfighting by Culture, the slaughter José Tomás and Paco Camino have decided to return theirs. In a joint letter to Minister Molina, say they do with "shame bullfighter." few days after Morante de la Puebla medal harshly criticized the bullfighter Francisco Rivera Ordonez - said it was a "disgrace" - are now two bullfighters who have decided to join the protest. As reported by ABC - which stands on its front page news also - Paco Camino and José Tomás have decided to send a letter to the Minister Cesar Antonio Molina returning the medal were awarded. La Cadena COPE on your page web, publish the full letter:
In it, the two killers no at no time mention Rivera Ordóñez but point that "shame bullfighter - that is what Minister of shame - and from the conviction that we make a good art of fighting (...) we have decided to back the Medals Fine Art of Bullfighting. " They add that "the concept art of bullfighting what are you so degenerate that it has reached the lower depths of the Bullfight" and therefore "we do not want be among so many prestigious trophies memories and yes I appreciate our art of fighting, because that would betray the courage and sense of them. " At the time of granting the medal, Culture stated that he gave Rivera Ordóñez because "After reaping success in different places, starting in 2000 shortened the number of priority actions to refine his technique which is now more aesthetically pleasing, restful and deep. This is demonstrated in his last tasks notable among which are the Feria de Madrid from 2001 to 2002 and the Goya of the past 2008 ". This controversy has also joined Cayetano Martinez de Irujo, ex-law Rivera Ordonez. In a letter to ABC and published Friday, rightly calls the award and specifically refers to criticism Morante de la Puebla. He says he is a despicable example of bad style and inelegance "and he calls" bitter and wretched poor man, unable not only to praise the success of a partner, but not even keep a discreet silence. "
If the political authorities, not to get involved in where they should not - get into everything, want to run everything, they want to manipulate us all - none of this would not happen. In any case, Rivera may be a bullfighter media, but I think it's worthy of being featured as a bullfighter. And in any case, the public - and especially the fans - put in place. When - years ago - a son of Morenito Talavera, Adolfo Suarez wanted to "help", ended his career: to be the bull, who put each one in its place.
STEERS. For a Festival, Plaza of the second, ie according to Justito. Never reached the last third. All of the cattle Domecq, less than lances, of mating Murube. bullfighters. Joselito, elegance, style and more elegant, natural, naturalness and spontaneity, with the cape. This performs. I rose from my chair home, shouting oles. with the crutch was wrong to run down the right and strive to spend with his left hand. He should have stuck with natural right - if, there are - that implemented between clapping. The bull did the right thing: take him, fortunately without consequences. Fundi, very torero - very camper - and safe. banderilleó as God commands. Killed the game, very well. Ponce, sober and safe as ever. He hit a bull in his herd, impossible. As a "covered him!" Morante. I did not like. Very crowded, unnatural, too much composition of the figure. The tasks do not have to "bring them to their hotel." Flags stuck. Juli. lacked not only get on top. Simply did what he wanted with him. With the sword, perfect. Escribano. is truant, to continue learning. It came big commitment. TO A HORSE. Too "spectacular" verging on rudeness. NOTE. Paquiro in bullfighting, and defined pass called "regular" - now go natural - one that is implemented with the cape and the bull goes on the same face of the coming deception. Always, without the help of sword. Then the natural can be, too, with the right. Otherwise, the advantage would be for lefties.
WHY WANT JOSE THOMAS smear? 
I have the luck of the teacher, is an amateur, 
Jose Pedro Prados "Fundi" Esplá - already is - Roberto Dominguez - who was - and Don Antonio - that was all we -.
