Inês Sousa Real met in the late afternoon with Figueira without bullfighting, in Figueira da Foz, district of Coimbra, to understand the current situation of the tauromacic activities in the city.
At the entrance to the meeting, the PAN spokeswoman underlined the Lusa agency the need to have a public service that supports families who have animals of company and criticized the government’s decision to have downloaded VAT from the tickets to bullfighting, “Until other areas, these actually cultural areas that have not had support.”
“We want to ensure that there is also VAT of VAT also in health and animal feed, instead of the VAT of bullfighting. They are completely changed priorities,” he said.
Inês Sousa Real stressed that the PAN has been proposing to end the public financing of bullfighting and promotes the reconversion of the activity.
“The state tells us that it is difficult to have an animal NHS or that it is difficult to have a public network such as PAN has been proposing in the state budget, leaving this measure in the drawer. But there are the means to realize it: end with the 18 million euros of bullfighting,” he argued.
According to Inês Sousa Real, investment in animal NHS may cost between 120 million and € 200 million per year, but this value can significantly lower the network of public veterinary and private medical schools.
“We lack the political will that the great parties that have been in government have not had, which is why PAN is such an important counterpoint in Parliament, precisely to bring these social issues so pressing to the Assembly of the Republic,” he said.
