Overview

• Enrique Ponce, alongside Tauroemoción, organized a charity bullfighting festival on March 2 in Jaén to aid Chiva's recovery from January's devastating Dana flood.
• On April 23, Ponce handed over €55,848 in proceeds to Chiva's local council to fund the demolition of flood-damaged homes.
• Chiva's mayor, Ernesto Navarro, emphasized the critical timing of the donation, as the municipality has yet to receive regional or national subsidies for reconstruction efforts.
• The festival featured prominent bullfighters, including Diego Ventura, Alejandro Talavante, and Emilio de Justo, with participating ganaderías donating animals and staff waiving their fees.
• Organizers and municipal leaders highlighted the transparency of the initiative, ensuring all proceeds were directed toward the intended relief efforts.
