Forcados and fans angry at the festival’s lack of fulfillment fill Palha Blanco (in pictures): :: Touro e Ouro

Forcados made sure to open Palha Blanco and TouroeOuro showed the state of the arena

After the opening of the “Largo do Forcado”, located next to Praça de Toros Palha Blanco, in Vila Franca, the wide range of current and former members of the Vila Franca Amateur Forcados Group were there on a day that was supposed to be a party, did everything to show TouroeOuro status The bullring, Vilafranquense, even opened its doors, so that everyone could set foot on the ground.

Never before in Portugal, the arena was full, and everyone stepped in and stepped, with the aim of proving that at 4pm the arena was operational and that there would be no danger to the physical safety of the proclaimed bullfighters.

Lots of sadness, anger, and indignation in the “mouths” of every pitchfork, the same ones that predicted what might be one of the most famous bullfighting events of the year and that would be a box office hit.

According to the statement printed at the Palha Blanco box office, the bullfighting festival, which evokes the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Grupo de Forcados Amadores de Vila Franca, did not take place due to the impractical condition of the grounds / arena.

sand case

TouroeOuro can certify “in loco”, the state of the arena and prove that the arena met more “credibility” conditions for the event to be held.

Unprecedented

Never before has the organization of a postponed or canceled bullfighting festival been mobilized to prove to everyone, but especially to fans in general and the fans and friends of the Vila Franca group, in particular, that the alleged reasons for postponing the event are not legal.

Among the visitors to the track, as well as past and current members of the group and their families, the veterinarian who advised the direction of the race, Jorge Moreira da Silva, the Livcinio family (Torodrome businessmen) and Luis Capucha, president of the Associação de Tertillas bullfighting.

The result: sadness and disappointment prints everyone’s face…

Atmosphere

At the time of the start of the festivities, as well as in the two or three hours before the show, not a drop of water had fallen on Villa Franca, as the sky was slightly cloudy or even clear.

The harm of unjustified and undeclared postponement

The decision to postpone or cancel, made late, caused many audiences to rush to the bullring and only there, along with closed ticket offices, did they realize that there would be no show.

All fans unanimously agreed that it was incomprehensible and that all this was a huge lack of respect for those who “fed” the festival. TouroeOuro can see that there are fans who have traveled over 150 kilometers to see one of the season’s best cartels, arriving and’Knocks his nose on the door“.

Available and who dictated “No”

There were several versions circulating in the moments before and after the festival and it is certain that none of the horse trucks were near Palha Blanco. Whoever saw it says that it seems that there was nothing and never will be …

At the time of the draw of the Basanha bullring and the first doubts settled, the ranchers “gave permission” to assemble the estados, taking responsibility for the final decision that could arise from there …

Having said that, the defining of “available” and “unavailable” begins, and we all know that the first decision is up to the head of the label, and yes, the decision made, convinced and without the “pimples”. Festival on Earth!

After that, the tour began for those who agreed to move forward and those who did not. We know seniority is a job and in bullfighting, it’s a real job, but… since the parts were taken out, Salgueiro and Marcos Bastinhas were ready to fight bullfights, the others delegated the decision to “the oldest job”, they say. The rules and that they even wanted the race director, Lara Gregorio de Oliveira, to write in the report to the IGAC that there would be no conditions for performing the show, ‘demanding’ the director that the artists sign their intent, until the truth came out in that report.

unanimous decision?

Of course not, but here and in consultation with the bullfighting regulations, we know the decision doesn’t have to be unanimous and for that very reason, it makes sense to quote Marcos Bastenhas’ post on his social media pages. “…I had a great delusion that I was with the audience of this Rising Ground again, but it seemed that the grounds of the field did not meet the conditions.”.
