They denounce a sexist poster of a rock at the parties of Sagunto: "A hole is a hole, for an afternoon it's okay"

A feminist group in Morvedre has criticized a sexist poster used by a bullfighting group during the festivals in Sagunto, Valencia. The image depicts a semi-naked woman being 'subordinated' by a bull, accompanied by the phrase 'for an evening it's fine.' The group argues that this represents a degrading scene disguised as a rural joke and calls it a form of humiliation through clothing. They are questioning whether the local council provides any public funding or support to the group and demand transparency regarding public funds. The municipality recently held bullfighting celebrations where the poster was displayed, and members of the group were photographed with the shirt bearing the image. Vox, represented by their municipal spokesperson, praised the group for preserving local identity and traditions. The Generalitat Valenciana’s Equality Directorate has condemned the image and urged the group to change it.

The group emphasizes that the dignity of women should not be compromised, whether in festivals or elsewhere.

The Generalitat Valenciana denounces a sexist poster at the parties of Sagunto

The Valencian Regional Government has denounced the display of a sexist poster during the recent festivals in Sagunt, Valencia. The poster, created by a bullfighting group, features a bull sexually subduing a naked woman under the title 'Un forat es un forat' (An hole is an hole). The regional equality directorate expressed strong disapproval of any representation that degrades, objectifies, or mocks women. They emphasized that in the 21st century, after significant progress in gender equality, such images should not be normalized or justified, as they perpetuate sexist stereotypes and portray women in a subordinate or humiliating light. The administration stressed that such manifestations have no place in a society striving for greater equality, respect, and freedom from discrimination.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue through the lens of gender equality and criticizes the sexist portrayal of women, aligning with progressive values. The language used by the Valencian Regional Government emphasizes the need for societal change and rejects traditional gender roles, which reflects a left-
