Morante’s long -awaited return will have to wait again. International fusion for bullfighting has communicated the final suspension of the celebration announced for tomorrow, March 22, through a statement that indicates that “all parties gathered (company, livestock, bullfighters and property of the square), the suspension of the celebration has been decided unanimously. The yellow alert situation due to adverse weather conditions and the storm that affects the entire Extremadura community both by rains and strong wind gusts and the state of the roads, make it impossible for it. The closure of parks and gardens has been decreed in the Oliventine town.

The security and comfort of our audience, which moves to Olivenza from different parts of Spain, is our main priority. Despite the illusion that we have all put because this celebration could be held, to avoid greater problems and with the recommendations of emergency services, we have made the decision today ».

In this way, Morante will return to the ring, if time allows, next Saturday 29 in the Pacense town of Almendralejo, where it is announced with José María Manzanares and Emilio de Justo, dealing bulls of Juan Pedro Domecq. Although the Alicante suffered an internal cornada in Valencia and has been operated this Wednesday, it is expected to fulfill its commitments.

The expected Oliventina run, which already had to be postponed by the strong temporal, would also mean the reappearance of Borja Jiménez, who was born again after being horribly caught during the failures. The Sevillian was already on the way to Extremadura, but will return to fulfill the rest indicated by the doctors.
