Pero surgieron quejas en contra(incluso en Cataluña) y ese toro esta tan arraigado que el ministerio de cultura lo protegió como bien cultural y quito el eslogan de Osborne, ahora son patrimonio de todos y el ministerio de cultura los mantiene en buen estado.

I don't think catalunya removed the bull because it only bacause it has to do with Franco's regime. It's because It reminds them the centralism and nationalism (from Madrid and southern Spain), the bull doesn't represent either Catalunya or Euskadi, the bull fighting, the fiesta, the flamenco and so on are not part of all the regions of spain, so , they dont want to be called something they are not. Also, if you see a guy from barcelona in madrid speaking in Catalan, you will see that Madrileños really hate Catalunya and their language; "why dont they speak spanish, this is Spain" they say... Of course it's Spain, but they have their own culture too! I'm not from Spain, but I've been living here for about seven years, so I can see why they hate each other so much. I agree that it's too bad that something like this becomes so political. but the truth is that ultra-nationalism (spanish, not basque or catalan, the facist) uses the bull, the flags and the old Franco's emblem to spread hate against everything "not spanish", that includes Immigrants, people from other zones of spain, republicans, liberals etc etc. <a href="http://unjardintan.iespana.es/espanaosborne.gif" rel="nofollow">http://unjardintan.iespana.es/espanaosborne.gif</a> I think thats why Catalunya doesn't like to see the Osborne bull. thank you so much for this blog, your work inspired me.
