Looking for trouble?

How about "European region which happens to be situated in the Iberian peninsula"?

One suspects that the corrida industry in French Catalonia is rubbing its hands and installing extra seating.

Re: "Spanish region"? (none / 0)

There are others looking for trouble already...

Rajoy convierte los toros en casus belli nacional · ELPAÍS.com		Rajoy turns bullfighting into a national casus belli - ElPais.com
¡Atención! ¡ Peligro! No son solo los toros, es la patria lo que está en juego. Fue la advertencia que lanzó ayer el líder del PP, Mariano Rajoy, inmerso ya en el proceso de convertir la fiesta en nuevo casus belli nacional. El PP llevará al Congreso una iniciativa "en defensa de la libertad, para que la fiesta de los toros sea declarada de interés general y cultural", según anunció el propio Rajoy. Y Pío García Escudero, portavoz del Grupo Popular en el Senado, anunció una moción similar para que "el Gobierno de España inicie las gestiones oportunas tendentes al reconocimiento de la Unesco como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad de la Fiesta".		Warning! Danger! It's not just bullfighting but the fatherland that is at stake. [Such] was the warning issued by the leader of the PP, Mariano Rajoy, immersed in the process of turning la fiesta into a new national casus belli. The PP will bring to the Congress an initiative "in defence of liberty, so that the feast of bullfighting is declared of general cultural interest", as Rajoy himself announced. And Pío García Escudero, PP speaker in the Senate, announced a similar motion for "the Government of Spain to initiate the necessary actions to have the fiesta recognised by Unesco as Immaterial Cultural World Heritage".

By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan
