Since early 2010 news began to emerge on the creation of an international association of municipalities organizers called ASIMTAP popular bullfights.
Now, among which the denomination has a sound that I, personally, I seemed exciting and that news of the association appeared somewhat distant in time and as basting, did not quite encourage me to seek deeper information about her pregnancy, partners and end.
now three weeks ago, the internet see several photos of one of the meetings of the Association, was when I got the curiosity to get more information on it, and wanted, if possible, who came from a person who appeared at the meeting. Logically, it is a bit beyond me access to municipal offices, but the photos also saw more related people, fan base to keep the friendship, as is the case of Carlos Fraile, de Cuéllar (Segovia). A friend who I could give the information.
And said and done, I sent an email and start a series of contacts.
I said in the first: "I do not know if you post something about it, and in any case would not be before mid-March ..." , but on 24 February was held at the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas what has been dubbed by the media as the official presentation of ASIMTAP. And since currently in charge, I decided that this post was going to devote to share with you all the information you had sent me this good friend of the entire group of runners of closures.
first thing I asked was to tell me what is ASIMTAP. And I must admit that if it had been by word, I would have expressed as Carlos Herrera does his radio show when something sounds weird: "EHTO what eh eh what?" . That first question, I answered pulling Carlos Fraile statutes, and told me "ASIMTAP is the name of the International Association of Municipalities and organizers of Popular bullfights, which are part of municipalities and English, French and Portuguese, of recognized standing tradition and contrasted in organizing celebrations popular bullfighting " .
then also using the statutes provided me with the objectives, which are "defense, promotion and conservation of all popular bullfights are part of history, culture and tradition in each country, region or place where they are held, whenever its organization and development is carried out with respect for animals involved in the same " .
ASIMTAP The idea was born to create a proposal was made to the City of Cuellar by a partnership of the town itself presiding Carlos Fraile, Cuéllar Closures Association. And my question about why they moved to propose this initiative to the City, he told me "albeit intangible, our parties and traditions are an equity value of our culture to be preserved. But, like all fans, we also think that you can end if you do not advertise, disclose and defend. And to do so, in our local association decided that the best way to carry out that purpose was to create an international partnership with all stakeholders in the organization of public entertainment " .
With this proposal, the City of Cuéllar contacted a number of municipalities that organize prestigious bullfights usually popular, and their representatives seemed like a great idea, so decided to have a meeting in the mentioned town of Segovia on 27 February 2010 to agree the formation of the future international partnerships, initiate the necessary steps and create a working group to develop a basis action.
Three months later, on May 22 was held a second meeting in Vall d'Uixó, which were completed to outline all the nuances of the statutes.
Finally, on August 26, 2010 was signed in San Sebastian de los Reyes ASIMTAP the founding act of the representatives of the eight municipalities that hold the character of the founding members. Of these, five are English: Pamplona, \u200b\u200bCuellar, Beas de Segura, Vall d'Uixó and San Sebastian de los Reyes, two Portuguese, and Santarém Moita, and one French: Saint-Sever. Joining them was attended by representatives of a number of entities which have also been precursor of the Association, and therefore consideration will hold the founding partners of cooperation. Namely: Closures Association Cuéllar, Federation d'Associacions i Festes Taurinos Comissions of Vall d'Uixó, Peña Aficion Jeune Saint-Sever, Hermandad de San Marcos de Beas de Segura, Association The closure of San Sebastian de los Reyes Bous al Carrer Magazine.

Of these, five are English: Pamplona, \u200b\u200bCuellar, Beas de Segura, Vall d'Uixó and San Sebastian de los Reyes, two Portuguese, and Santarém Moita, and one French: Saint-Sever.

As for the future organization of ASIMTAP, Carlos told me that in the first place is the General Assembly, which shall consist of all its members and is the supreme body of the expression of their will.
The second most important body of the Association shall be the Board of Directors, which will include "voice and vote" the President, Vice President and four members elected from the representatives of the eight municipalities that are founding members and those who, because organizers usual of popular bullfights, begin to incorporate as tenured members. In addition, "with voice but no vote" also form part of the Board Members elected between the two entities co founders and those who join as partners for collaboration ordinary (committees, clubs, sororities ... that without popular organizing bullfights, save relationship with the objects). Finally, the Board also have a Secretary General and Administrator "with voice but no vote" .
For these individuals, there are two issues, at least, in which I think is worth pausing: the incorporation of the Association of new municipalities and disenfranchisement in the collective board made up of amateurs who forged commissions rocks, etc..
Thus, in caring for the processing to be followed for admission of new municipalities, Carlos Fraile I said "as well say the statutes, as it deems appropriate to be incorporated, will need to enroll, with two tenured members to support their enrollment, and be subject to examination and approval for admission " .
He always relied on the statutes, and tried to get those answers design with a very specific question: What if a municipality to enroll as Tordesillas, with a celebration and harassed by anti-bullfighting is not a good public image ? His response was that "in the case of these locations, if you really fulfill the objects and purposes of the Association, which we will defend, support and promote more so than others" .
More of the same!
Carlos is a serious fellow, and I know you appreciate their involvement in the initiative that the Association, but noticed that I was responding to communication patterns similar to those used by politicians, because I cleared all the approval of these new additions most controversial, talked about advocacy, but not its high ASIMTAP.
My independence on this project if I may say that in the section of the statutes referred to the objectives of ASIMTAP there is a caveat that it is a recurring excuse and seems to be included to be used properly: "provided their organization and development is carried out with respect for animals involved in the same ". This tagline end, obviously, would be unnecessary, unless it has been included to be applied by computed image issues. And in conclusion I draw is that ASIMTAP be studied very carefully each admission.
The other issue to mean the formula is designed to determine the composition of the Board: it is composed mainly by the municipalities (politicians), and that is only testimonial, no vote, the presence of committees, clubs and the other entities in collaboration (the fans). On this also
I asked Carlos, and he replied that the Association is organizing bodies of popular bullfights, usually municipalities, and it is logical that only they have a voice in the Board. But I said: "as the political representatives of the organizers may change from night to morning, it was felt that the fans should also have a presence on the Board for that with his opinion, even without vote, try at all times maintain a consistent direction to the Board " .
The intention, of course, looks good, but I would doubt its efficacy, since the vote, the After all, are awarded to those who are awarded: the politicians. And that gives me a fear! Because I can not forget that the political class is the spitting image of duality, of all that is the case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Speaking of politicians, and their interests, and some people who appear in all soirees and, of course, also included in ASIMTAP (such as parsley, which is in all the sauces), I asked Carlos Fraile on the possibility that ASIMTAP performances may be affected by political, partisan or relegate particular fundamental interest is that of popular festivals. His response was that "if someone uses the Association for personal gain or out of pocket, you know, and take appropriate measures" .
want it to be true. And therefore, the collaborating partners (on the rocks, committees, fraternities, sororities ...), fans in short, I want to thank you for your effort, and encourage them to go ahead with this initiative can benefit both the popular bullfights. But I would ask you not stop to control those who run the Association, monitor them, as the announcement of the Mahou:
................... ......... "Te we'll be watching! " In another vein, I also explained to Carlos that " taking into account the large number of municipalities that can be integrated into ASIMTAP, and in order to further facilitate the internal coordination entity, has seen fit to create eight territorial boundaries to be coordinated by each of the eight founding members:
1 .- North / Northeast, competition from Pamplona. 2 .- Castilla-León/Noroeste
, Cuéllar competition. 3 .-
Levante, Vall d'Uixó competition. 4 .-
Andalusia competition Beas de Segura.
5 .- Central / South More Latin America, competition from San Sebastian de los Reyes.
6 .- France, Saint-Sever competition. 7 .- North
Portugal, Santarém competition. 8 .- South
Portugal, Moita competition. "
Finally, I put these last questions:
- (Q) ASIMTAP will preserve the richness and variety of popular bullfights, or will be carried away by the temptation to evolve toward "closure monotype "Pamplona-style?
- (R) "It is essential that ASIMTAP ensure the richness, variety and characteristics referred to each celebration has particularly popular and we Unlike other " .
And two that go together, because it gave me one answer to both:
- (P) Many municipalities on a competitive grant the organization of fairs of its municipalities, and thus the recruitment of herds and bulls deal . Is it intended from this association of organizers of popular bullfights move towards a policy of not delegating or at least control the recruitment of herds and cattle on their festival to offer a herd with good presentation?
Y. .. Does ASIMTAP objectives include cooperation in the preservation of the variety of spigots of bull, enhancing recruitment for their herds with spigots celebrations varied and, in particular, those who have a higher risk of extinction?
- (R) "bravo field offers a rich variety of spigots very important. Therefore fall within the same procedure would work for the extermination of the variety of spigots and morphologies that occur at present, so ASIMTAP should also become involved in providing advice to the organizers, urging them to come to this variety of spigots " .
also asked the agreement signed between ASIMTAP and Mesa del Toro, but on this particular subject declined to tell me anything, because I said he did not have all the information.
And see the answer to this question if that awaited with interest. Because I do not like, so fast (and possibly without a specific mandate from the General Assembly), has signed this agreement with the Mesa del Toro, which is an organization composed of a wide range of bullfighting associations with members shown contrary to previous closures of the cattle to cope in subsequent public celebrations.
But, hey, if it is true that lack of data, understand the silence of Carlos Fraile, respect its cautious stance and thank you for all the information you provided.
This is the letter of ASIMTAP (you can also find your web ), which I love to pray in their management, and, of course, want to have much luck in meeting its objectives.
And to those who have read this post, I hope I was helpful.
