The Animalist Party (PACMA) has intensified its campaign against bullfighting and related festivities in Spain. In September 2026, the party organized the ‘Misión Abolición 2026’ demonstration in Madrid, where approximately 10,000 participants gathered to demand the abolition of bullfighting and criticize the use of public resources for such events.

Following this large-scale mobilization, PACMA has targeted the Toro Júbilo festival in Medinaceli, Soria. The party has called for a protest on November 14 to oppose the festival, citing physical and psychological harm to animals. This specific conflict has a long history, with PACMA opposing the event for over 15 years. While a lower court briefly issued a suspension of the festival in late 2024, the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León later revoked that decision, leaving the legality of the festival a matter of ongoing dispute.
