The PNP of the Lisbon Territorial Command and the Judicial Police were called to the scene and, after carrying out the necessary procedures, they managed to remove the device and allow the event to take place in full.
GNR confirmed morning Post who was contacted and informed that the matter was now within the jurisdiction of the Court. In the Protoiro, The Portuguese Bullfighting Federation rejected the attempted attack, classifying it as a “criminal situation” and “terrorism against bullfighting.”
“For several years we have warned that the periodic hate speech against bullfighting, carried out by parties such as PAN and BE, legitimizes the radicalization of views against the freedoms of citizens and enthusiasts in particular. This propaganda of intolerance and hatred towards the culture of bullfighting must urgently end the political discourse in Portugal,” he wrote in a statement published this Monday.
The Portuguese Bullfighting Federation has asked the criminal police and the prosecutor’s office to conduct a thorough investigation into this criminal incident and bring those responsible to justice. It also said that “it has already requested an urgent meeting with the Minister of the Interior to discuss the necessary measures for this purpose.”
