Police altercation prompted Rivera's backing of law enforcement forces, as evidenced by his response.
In a surprising turn of events, Spanish bullfighter Cayetano Rivera has chosen to take legal action against the police following an incident at a Madrid burger restaurant. Rivera was arrested on suspicion of resisting authority and disobedience, charges he and his lawyer have challenged as disproportionate and lacking legal grounds.
The altercation, which led to Rivera's injury and subsequent medical leave, has left a deep psychological mark on him. He has expressed sadness, indignation, and emotional distress, including difficulties sleeping. The trauma of being handcuffed and detained has left a lasting impact.
Rivera has vowed to clarify the facts and pursue accountability for the damage to his honor caused by the incident. He has been seen walking with a serious expression and a visible bruise on his cheek, a reminder of the confrontation.
Despite the ordeal, Rivera has expressed his support for the State's Security Forces and Bodies. He has been clear and firm in his first statements to the media, stating he has nothing more to say on the matter.
Meanwhile, Germany has criticized the "disproportion" of Russia's protest, denying Russia's accusations about the Kuriles. In a separate development, Texas Democratic congressmen have left the state with the aim of preventing Republicans from changing the electoral map.
On a positive note, BP has announced its largest discovery in 25 years of oil and gas off the coast of Brazil. Rivera, however, has cancelled his appearances at important bullfighting events due to his medical leave.
