A Mexico court on Friday reauthorized bullfights, which had just been suspended by a judge on Wednesday. Hundreds of people demonstrated around the capital's arena against the return of bullfighting.

A hearing is scheduled for February 7 to decide on a possible ban on bullfighting in Mexico City. The company organizing bullfights in the capital welcomed this news, displaying its “commitment” to “the traditions and cultural richness” linked to bullfighting, the company said in a statement.
