The Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia has ruled to revoke the exclusive privilege granted by the government of Juan Manuel Moreno to the bullfighting guilds, which allowed them to validate contracts necessary for authorizing bullfights. This requirement effectively barred small businesses and independent professionals from participating equally in bullfighting events. The court suspended the new Bullfighting Regulation, arguing that it imposed an obligation that excluded certain professionals and restricted their labor and union rights.
