According to the Spanish National News recently, two years after the suspension of the new crown epidemic, the Beniu Festival was re -held in July this year. During the event, people ignited flammable materials such as firecrackers on the horns, and they ran away in order to avoid the collision of the cattle and were forced to jump into the water. However, this year's Beniu Festival killed 7 people and more than 300 people were injured, which was the heaviest injury since 2015. On July 12, a 56 -year -old man was picked up to the air by the furious bull. On August 25, a 73 -year -old French woman was died in her chest. These accident videos have been widely spread on the Internet and caused heated discussions. Senior officials of Valencia, Eutana Mass, asked: "Is the death of death or a festival?" Local folk experts blame the casualties on the lack of effective organizations. The participants did not know the number of bulls, and some people wore the wrong shoes, and the Bulls were busy taking pictures and other reasons. The Valencia Beniu Association said that the local police will offer safety courses this fall to reduce risks. (Luke)
