The city held its first bullfight since 2022 on Sunday.

A judge had ordered the indefinite suspension of the practice - which dates back to the 16th Century in Mexico - agreeing with animal rights activists who had filed a suit.

The Supreme Court revoked the decision last month, but a legal battle between supporters and opponents is likely.

Local media reported that the judges ruled only on technical aspects and have yet to decide on the case's merits.
