Protests Erupt as Bullfighting Returns to Mexico City

Bullfights resumed in Mexico City's Plaza México after a court ruling temporarily revoked a local decision that had suspended the events for over a year due to animal rights concerns. The resumption sparked protests outside the arena, with activists arguing that bullfighting violates animal welfare and people's rights to a healthy environment. Despite the legal battle, renowned matador Joselito Adame entered the ring to cheers from thousands of fans, while outside, about 300 protesters gathered peacefully, with some moments of tension, to voice their opposition to the event. The nation's Supreme Court of Justice revoked the suspension, allowing the bullfights to proceed while the case is discussed, and a decision is reached on whether bullfighting affects animal welfare.
