Iglesias Carrillo, new vice president of the Board of Trustees of the School of Bullfighting

The Presidency of the Provincial Council of Badajoz has appointed provincial deputy Juan Manuel Iglesias Carrillo as vice president of the Autonomous Body Provincial Board of the School of Bullfighting. The decision was adopted by resolution on October 30, 2026, signed by the president of the provincial institution, Raquel del Puerto Carrasco, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 214, corresponding to Monday, November 9, 2026, under the official reference of announcement 4422/2026.

The appointment follows the resignation from the position submitted by Ricardo Cabezas Martín and the swearing-in of the new provincial deputy during the ordinary plenary session held on October 30, 2026. The resolution invokes the self-organization competence provided for in Article 4 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and the powers of Article 6 of the autonomous body’s statutes, published in the BOP on September 21, 2023.

The Provincial Board of the School of Bullfighting was created as a provincial autonomous body with a distinct public legal personality and autonomous management relative to the parent corporation, to fulfill the goals of promoting and fostering the bullfighting festival in the province of Badajoz and the management of the bullfighting school. The Presidency justifies the change “in order to provide continuity to the processes initiated” and to adapt the organic structure of the Provincial Council and its dependent entities “to the current situation,” within the framework of the organizational restructuring of functional areas approved in the ordinary plenary session on October 29, 2025.

Resolutory capacity and immediate effects

The agreement appoints the new vice president “with full decision-making capacity in the administrative procedures that may arise,” in addition to the functions conferred in the resolution of October 30, 2026, regarding the position assumed. The resolution revokes and nullifies any other prior resolution that opposes or contradicts it, and its effects are determined from the date of its signature.

The text orders that the decision be reported to the provincial corporation in the next ordinary plenary session, in compliance with Article 66 of Royal Decree 2568/1986, of November 28, as well as be forwarded to the Governing Council of the autonomous body, with the corresponding official publications handled by its Secretariat. The recording of the act by the general secretary is carried out in accordance with Article 3.2 e) of Royal Decree 128/2018, of March 18.

A school with nearly three decades of activity

The provincial bullfighting school has operated since 1998 through the autonomous body, and its origins date back 28 years, according to the guidelines published in BOP number 202, of October 21, 2026 (announcement 4166/2026), which call for student places for the 2027 course. In the same bulletin, the provisional resolution proposal from the Section Head (announcement 4128/2026) granted a housing support scholarship, of 450 euros per month for up to four months, to student Saúl Collado Santos.

The change in the vice presidency affects the governance of an entity that directly manages the teaching activity and student aid of the School of Bullfighting, therefore the appointment has an immediate effect on the administrative processing of the body. The new vice president assumes the position in a school year marked by the call for places for 2027 and by the scholarship files for the current fiscal year.
