Written question – Use of NextGenerationEU funds in the bullfighting lobby – E-002066/2025

Question for written answer  E-002066/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Estrella Galán (The Left)

The website[1] of an association of breeders of bulls for bullfighting mentions that it is receiving funding from NextGenerationEU without clarifying what it is for. This organisation is part of the so-called ‘bullfighting lobby’, whose activities involve lobbying and influencing public authorities in order to promote or strengthen bullfighting in Spain and also in the European Union[2].

In the light of the above:

• 1.What funds has the Commission allocated to this group?
• 2.Is the Commission aware that EU funds are being used for bullfighting?
