F1 | Hamilton attacks bullfighting: "Schools must be closed immediately"
The reply from Spain is harsh: "For us it has a cultural significance, he knows nothing about it"
A real controversy has broken out in Spain after Lewis Hamilton's venomous words regarding bullfighting. For the British, this type of show should be censored immediately, and although we are not connoisseurs of other people's cultures, we can only agree with what the British champion stated, in the Iberian country they took Hamilton's attack very badly, and not There has been a lack of responses to the venom of those directly involved.
“We ask the Spanish Ministry of Education to close bullfighting schools immediately,” Hamilton said recently.
The response from the Spanish Minister of Culture and Sports was not long in coming, Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes: “Hamilton's offensive words, in our country bullfighting has a cultural significance. The way he expresses this idea does not help communication and understanding."
The Spanish writer Fernando Sanchez-Drago said: “Isn't it necessary to have a minimum amount of intelligence to get a pilot's license?”
The brothers Cayetano and Francisco Rivera, two famous bullfighters, attacked the British Formula 1 champion: “Mr Hamilton doesn't like bullfighting? So? Before you criticize another country's culture, you should at least know what you're talking about. I see it as an attack and a lack of respect towards Spain, the Spaniards and our traditions. He has not spent even a minute of his life in a bullfighting school to see what is taught."
