Bullfight tax row splits Portugal's ruling Socialists
By Catarina Demony LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's bullfighting tradition has stirred a row inside the Socialist government after the new culture minister refused to cut value-added tax (VAT) on tickets to events in line with other cultural shows.

Supporters also say the contests are less skewed in favour of the bullfighters, who are frequently gored in what they insist is an ancient cultural tradition. -
