When two weeks ago we talked about the government deputy Carolina Bescansa going to congress with her baby and we explained that it seemed perfect that she went to work that way, we did not mean that everyone has to do it, much less, because there are places where a baby has no place.
Sites like those that a bullfighter can frequent, in this case Fran rivera, that has raised the controversy in social networks by posting this photo on Instagram bullfighting with his 5 month old daughter in his arms.
A family tradition
The image accompanies this text of the proud and, in our opinion, irresponsible father:
Debut de Carmen, is the 5 generation that fights in our family. My grandfather fought with my father like that. My father bullfights like that with me, and I've done it with my daughters Cayetana and now with Carmen #orgullodesangre
I guess he says it jokingly, of course, because calling that debut is saying a lot. The girl is not bullfighting, but simply being carried on one arm by her father, who is bullfighting. Come on the girl does not learn anything and he is not doing anything special beyond giving up his presence for the image, because in reality everything responds to a tradition that passes from parents to children. In a following publication he compares the photo with the one he was taken with his father in his childhood:
The networks have not taken long to jump
Only four days ago, data from a survey that says that 84% of young people aged 16 to 24 are ashamed to live in a country with bulls. This means that bullfighting has the days counted, and that sooner or later, they will end up disappearing from our culture and our country.
In this situation, it seems quite normal for people to jump and show their opinion to the bullfighter: "Expose danger, even if it is a heifer, to your little daughter, I do not understand at all", "without words", "poor Carmen", “I am your wife and I kill you !!! What a fear ”, are some of the comments he has received for his photo.
Obviously, his followers have also considered considering it something to praise: “Nice image to remember. I like traditions, but don't do it anymore… ”,“ Ole ole and ole ”and“ What a great image you give us. Congratulations and the legend continues to be fulfilled. ”
According to Rivera, the girl was not in danger
The bullfighter has decided to defend himself and defend the tradition in his Twitter account with various messages:
How is Spain ... To think that I have put my daughter in danger is outrageous. More sure that in my arms will never be (...) It is something of ours, from my family of love to bullfighting. You can not imagine the illusion that has made me fight with my daughters (...) And after I almost lost my life last August this is even more beautiful. I wish I received the same respect that I give to the whole World. Respect is the basis of every society (...) My daughter has never been safer, I am a bullfighter by the grace of God, I live for this and I dedicate 365 days a year or for a second was in minimum danger. There are many more dangerous things that I will not go into them that are full of children. Respect our traditions please.
And he is probably right. He knows the bull, knows bullfighting and knows when he is in danger and when he is not. But nevertheless, It is still an unnecessary act that nothing brings to the baby. Come on, it would be something like "ok, nothing happened because you know a lot about it, but what need was there?"
The Ombudsman for Minors has spoken
We do not know at the request of who (probably someone has made some type of complaint via Twitter), but the Ombudsman for Minors of the Junta de Andalucía He has published a tweet in which he shows his rejection and explains that he will study the case.
I don't think anything really is done against him. I believe him when he says that his daughter was safe in his arms, but as there was no need to do so and, above, expose it, because the touch of attention takes him. Both the Ombudsman and all those who have opined that the act was totally out of place.
