[News]Bullfighters stand in front of the Ministry of Labor: Mrs. Yolanda, we are starving and they are marginalizing us

[SougarLord]

Dad, are you not bullfighting with your bullfighter friends today? Asks eight-year-old Paula. Paula is one of the two daughters of Ramón Moya, a banderillero who has been trading for a quarter of a century. But now I have no rights, only obligations. This Madrid junior has no job. You don't help. SEPE denies us what by law belongs to us and the situation of many colleagues is already unsustainable. More than one, many, are going to soup kitchens to be able to eat.

 

Moya, like so many other silver men, demonstrates in front of the large door of the Ministry of Labor, a door that is systematically closed to them. What would you say to the minister if you passed by here? I would show him the photos of my daughters, Paula and Ana, who when they asked me where I was going I have told them to fight for what belongs to them. I would also say to Mrs. Yolanda Díaz that we have tax obligations and we contribute a lot to the Treasury. This season is very uncertain, there is no color. Mrs Yolanda, we are starving and we are being marginalized. At this point in the calendar, Ramón Moya -in his extensive career has acted under the orders of El Fundi, El Juli, Perera, Cristina Sánchez, Padilla and Robleño, among others- calculates that he would have fought about 30 celebrations: This year I am on the loose. And I don't have a contract, I could have easily lost fifteen or twenty thousand euros. He says that many are already desperately looking for work in other jobs, but it is very difficult: ours is fighting.

                                                      

Nearby, Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez, probably the matador who is most involved in this crisis and showing his face -even with the tripping inside-, talks with his gang, his other family. I am here in support of the people who are leaving this Government behind, and who also decide who to leave behind solely based on their ideology. It is an injustice and we want to give voice and try to support those people who are being discriminated against, to support those who have neither food nor they nor their families. This is no longer a matter of bullfighting, this is a matter of people. And this government is leaving them behind. Discrimination stretches like a shadow: We do not feel represented either by the Ministry of Labor or by the Ministry of Culture, which does consider us, as is logical and normal, within its Ministry, but then it is not showing its face nor defending the people who belong to his Ministry. Here they all have responsibilities and of course they are not fulfilling them. However, the world of the bull does have and all the obligations, like all the others, and does not receive the same rights. There is a very clear injustice that must be communicated, that people must know.
