1 | In Spain, Money for Bulls But Cuts for Citizens | Vola Ho An'ny Omby No Misy Ao Espaina Fa Tsy Ho An'ny Olom-Pirenena |
2 | In February, the government of the People's Party (PP) agreed to debate a citizen initiative presented before Congress to deem bullfighting a “Cultural Interest Good” in all of Spain, with the PP's vote being the deciding factor considering its absolute legislative majority. | |
3 | It is calculated that in Spain, more than 500 million euros are invested in bullfighting each year in the midst of severe welfare cuts. | Ao Espaina, ny Hetsika iray Avy amin'ny Vahoaka ho Fandrafetana Lalàna dia isan'ireo rafitra izay mamela ny olom-pirenena ho afaka mandray anjara amin'ny politika. |
4 | In Spain, a Popular Legislative Initiative is one of the mechanisms that allows for citizen participation in formal politics. | Araka ny Lalàna Organika 3/1984, tokony hodinihana ny hetsika iray manontolo rehefa nahangona sonia 500.000 hanohana azy raha kely indrindra. |
5 | According to Organic Law 3/1984, the entire initiative should proceed if it comes backed by a minimum of 500,000 signatures. | |
6 | The reality is that in Spain, only eight popular initiatives have reached the House of Congress and only one has been approved [es] in 30 years, which, according to the opinion of many, gives a hint to the true role that citizens play in the political system. | Ny tena zava-misy ao Espaina dia hoe, hetsika valo monja avy amin'ny vahoaka no tonga teny amin'ny Lapan'ny Kaongresy ary iray monja tamin'ireny no nankatoavina [es] tao anatin'ny 30 taona, izay, araka ny fijerin'ny maro, dia azo itarafana ny tena terana marina raisin'ny olom-pirenena ao anatin'ny rafitra politika. |

8 | The hand of the PP at the time of validating these petitions (or not) was clear on February 12 when they were met with two initiatives: the ILP (Popular Legislative Initiative) favoring bullfighting and another that, despite having more citizen support, was not received equally. | Ny safidin'ny PP tamin'izany fotoana, ho fandaniana (na tsia) ireny fanangonan-tsonia ireny dia tsy nazava tamin'ny 12 Febroary rehefa niatrika hetsika roa ry zareo: ny ILP (Hetsika Fandrafetana Lalàna Avy Amin'ny Vaoaka) mandàla ny tolon'omby ary iray hafa izay, na dia marobe aza ny olom-pirenena manohana azy, dia tsy nahazo fandraisana mitovy amin'itsy voalohany. |
9 | It was an ILP against evictions, presented by the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) [es], whose goal is to avoid situations like a family continuing to pay for an apartment from which they have already been evicted. | Ny ILP manohitra ny fandroahana izy io, natolotry ny Vovonan'ireo Olona Niharan'ny Fangiazam-panànana natao anto-bola - Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) [es], izay ny tanjony dia ny hisoroa toe-javatra tahaka ny hoe fianakaviana iray efa voaroaka niala ny tranony nefa mbola asaina mandoa trosa hatrany. |
10 | Despite having nearly a million and a half signatures, this ILP was approved only because of great public pressure. | Na dia nahazo tohana efa ho iray tapitrisa sy sasany aza, nolavina fotsiny izao ity ILP ity noho ny tsindry mavesatry ny olona (sa fanjakana). |
11 | On the other hand, the initiative to name bullfighting a “Cultural Interest Good” brought together 590,000 signatures and, despite having only been counted in Congress with the support of the PP, UPyD [Union of Progress and Democracy] and the UPN (Union of the Town of Navarro), it was passed with 180 votes in favor, 40 against, and 107 abstentions. | Etsy andaniny, ilay hetsika hametrahana ny tolon'omby ho “Harena Iray Manana Lanja Ara-kolontsaina” dia sonia 590.000 no nentiny ary, na dia niantehatra fotsiny tamin'ny fanohanan'ny PP, UPyD [Union of Progress and Democracy] sy ny UPN (Fikambanan'ny Tanana ao Navarro) tao amin'ny Kaongresy aza, dia lany tamin'ny vato 180, 40 nitsipaka, ary 107 tsy naneho hevitra. |

15 | The People's Party has always been known, among other things, for its support of bullfighting. | Ankoatry ny zavatra hafa maro, dia fantatra hatrany amin'ny fanohanany ny tolon'omby ny PP. |
16 | Not only with the immediate passing of the ILP, which will bring about the return of bulls to Catalonia (where they were prohibited in the end of July 2010), and, according to the Community of Madrid, will impede that there be “places with prohibited cultural demonstrations.” | Tsy hoe fotsiny ny fandaniana avy hatrany an'ilay ILP, izay hitondra amin'ny fiverenan'ny tolon'omby ao Catalonia (toerana izay nandraràna azy ireny tanyamin'ny faran'ny Jolay 2010), sy, araka ny Vondrom-piarahamonina ao Madrid, hanitsakitsaka ireo “toerana nasiana fandraràna hetsika koltoraly.” |
17 | The record is long. | Lava ny lisitra. |
18 | Since their election campaign, the PP has promised to defend the practice of bullfighting, probably the only promise they has been kept. | Hatrany amin'ny fampielezan-kevitr'izy ireo tamin'ny fifidianana, ny PP dia nampanantena fa hiaro ny fomba amam-panao amin'ny tolon'omby, izay angamba ny hany fanomezan-toky mba tanterak'izy ireo. |
19 | Its members generally do not hide a passion that frequently translates into the very legislation that they pass. As such, Esperanza Aguirre, former president of the Community of Madrid (one that has invested 2,197,407 euros for Bullfighting Issues in the General Budget for 2012, according to PACMA [es]), has been accused of having spent 350,000 euros [es] in 2012 on promoting bulls instead of applying that money towards active employment policies. | Amin'ny ankapobeny ireo mpikambana ao aminy dia tsy manafina ny fahalinany izay azo adika avy hatrany amin'ny alàlan'ireo lalàna nolanian-dry zareo. Tahaka izany i Esperanza Aguirre, filoha teo tao amin'ny Vondrom-piarahamonin'i Madrid (olona izay nampiasa 2.197.407 euros ho an'ny resaka tolon'omby ao anatin'ny Tetibola Faobe 2012, araka ny nambaran'ny PACMA [es]), dia voampanga ho nandany 350.000 euros [es] tamin'ny 2012 ho fikarakaràna ny omby raha tokony ho nampiasa kosa izany vola izany ho amin'ny politika mavitrika ho amin'ny famoronana asa. |
20 | Ignacio González, her successor, has considered bullfighting as “Spain's most important national holiday.” | Ignacio González, mpisolo toerana azy, dia nihevitra ny tolon'omby ho “ny fetim-pirenena manana ny lanjany indrindra ao Espaina.” |
21 | In order to make the bulls an “intangible piece of heritage,” Minister of Culture José Ignacio Wert has created a commission to protect [es] the holiday. | Mba hahafahana manao ny omby ho “ampahany amin'ny harena tsy azo tsapain-tànana,” José Ignacio Wert, Minisitry ny Kolontsaina, dia nanangana ny kaomisiona ho fiarovana [es] ilay fety. |
22 | Furthermore, since the government took over public television, the running of the bulls, whose broadcast was banned in 2006 to protect children, is now back on schedule. | Tsy izay ihany, hatramin'ny nandraisan'ny governemanta ny fifehezana ny fahitalavi-panjakana, ny hazakazaka fanenjehana omby, izay efa voarara ny fandefasana azy tamin'ny 2006 mba hiarovana ny ankizy, dia miverina indray ao anaty fandaharana izao. |
23 | According to a study attributed to the Altarribia foundation [es], 564 million euros of public money is invested per year to finance the running of the bulls… all that despite citizen criticism with respect to generous spending on bullfighting in times of health and education cuts: in Madrid, for example, 67% of people reject these grants [es]. | Araka ny fanadihadiana iray nataon'ny Altarribia foundation [es], 564 tapitrisa euros tamin'ny volam-bahoaka no arotsaka isan-taona hamatsiana ny hazakazaka fanenjehana omby… izany rehetra izany, na dia eo aza ny fanakianana avy amin'ny olom-pirenena manoloana ireo fandaniana mihoam-pampana ho an'ny tolon'omby ao anaty vanim-potoana nampihenàna ny ho an'ny fahasalamàna sy ny fanabeazana: tao Madrid, ohatra, 67% no tsy nankasitraka ieny famatsiam-bola ireny [es]. |

34 | Although the ILP against evictions created a social mobilization that overshadowed the bullfighting issue, the rejection of deeming bulls a “National Interest Good” equally sparked many protests. | Na dia niteraka fanetsehana vahoaka nanamaloka ny resaka tolon'omby aza ilay ILP manohitra ny fandroahana, ny fandàvana ny hiantsoana ny omby ho “Harena Nasionaly Manan-danja” koa dia niteraka hetsi-panoherana maro. |
35 | This initiative, which if enacted will further allow for even more subsidies for the holiday, has already generated movements against it, like the petition on Change.org [es] (which has almost 17,000 signatures already), a demonstration on February 28 [es] or the many opinions on Twitter: | Ity hetsika ity, izay raha ampiharina dia hanome làlana ho anà famatsiana vola bebe kokoa an'ilay fety, dia efa niteraka sahady fihetsiketsehana nanoherana azy, tahaka ilay fanangonan-tsonia tao amin'ny Change.org [es] (izay efa nahangona sonia 17.000 sahady), sy hetsika fanehoan-kery iray tamin'ny 28 Febroary [es] na fanehoam-pijery marobe tao amin'ny Twitter: |
36 | @_issacrosa: More goring from the bank: The PP is rushing to have bulls in Catalonia this summer. | @_issacrosa: Nahazo vely tandroka misimisy kokoa avy amin'ny banky: mihazakazaka manao izay hisian'ny omby eto Catalonia amin'ity lohataona ity ny PP. |

38 | @bassileo: The PP's recipe to pull out of the crisis: More Bulls, more Vatican, less Education and Scientific Research… The Result: A country in decline. | @bassileo: Ny ketrika avy amin'i PP mba hivoahana amin'ny krizy: Omby betsaka, Vatikàna betsaka, Fanabeazana sy Fikarohaa Siantifika tsizarizary… Vokany: Firenena iray mitontongana. |
39 | @jordi_fdez00: The people of the PP go crazy over subsidies for the Spanish film industry but they see the enormous subsidy for bulls perfectly… | @jordi_fdez00: Mipelipelika ery ny olon'ny PP momba ny famatsiam-bola ho an'ny orinasan-tsarimihetsika Espaniôla saingy hitan-dry zareo tsara mihitsy ny famatsiana vola goavana ho an'ny omby… |
40 | Of course, there are opinions on Twitter users in favor of bullfighting: | Mazava loatra, misy ireo fomba fijerin'ireo mpampiasa Twitter mankasitrka ny tolon'omby: |
