Mariano Rajoy is known to be a pro-bullfighting supporter who says the tradition is an art form deep rooted in Spanish history. Thus the 6-year ban on live bullfights broadcast on the state run TV Chanel has been lifted and live bullfights are shown at the traditional 6 pm time on TVE as of September 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or views:
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
