The Bullas City Hall will pay posthumous tribute to the six bullfighters who were in Nazi concentration camps, of which five died in them.
The Plenary, in June 2016, agreed, unanimously, to remember those young people who were in the extermination camp of Mauthausem.
Specifically, a space dedicated to memory will be created in a central location in the urban area, specifically in the park located on Francisco Puerta González Conde Avenue, which will be called "Garden of Memory", where a tribute monolith will remember to those neighbors who suffered an unjust imprisonment and death for defending freedom.
It was the historian Víctor Peñalver who in our region conducted an investigation on the subject.
In Bullas, the bullfighters who were in Mauthausem were: Pedro Alfonso Egea Sánchez, who was born in Bullas on December 10, 1907;
Sebastián Espín Requena (Bullas, June 10, 1919);
José Molina Miñano (Bullas, October 9, 1903);
Fernando Fernández Sánchez (Bullas, June 11, 1910);
Francisco Valverde Llorente (Bullas, June 15, 1903) and Antonio Fernández Escámez also born in Bullas on November 20, 1894.
The event will be held this Saturday, January 13, in the Francisco Puerta González Conde Avenue park at 11.30 am, which is expected to attend the Mayor María Dolores Muñoz, the Councilor for Culture Antonio José Espín and the rest of members of the Municipal Corporation.
Also, family members of the honorees and the historian Peñalver will attend.
All bulleros and bulleagues are invited to the event, which has a public character.
