The mayoress of Campos interrupts the reading of the manifesto in defense of Trenc
Francisca Porquer has positioned herself next to Sebastià Alzamora and the GOB spokesperson and has been shouted at by some of the protesters
The BreakThe mayoress of Campos, Francisca Porquer (PP), burst in this Sunday in the middle of the reading of the manifesto of the human chain in defence of Trenc and starred in the only moment of tension of a mobilization that took place in a calm atmosphere. Porquer placed herself next to the writer and columnist of ARA Balears Sebastià Alzamora, who was reading the manifesto, and the spokesperson for the GOB, Tonina Siquier.
The presence of the mayor has provoked the reaction of a part of the public, who have shouted at her with cries of "out" and proclamations in defense of the Natural Park. Porquer remained by the side of those in charge of reading the manifesto while the protests of the attendees continued.
Given the situation, the people holding the main banner of the mobilization positioned themselves in front of the mayor and covered her with the banner to allow Alzamora to continue reading. Shortly after, Porquer moved a few meters away and the manifesto could be read without further incident, although some of those present continued to heckle her.

Upon finishing the reading, the mayoress approached the journalists to try to make statements, but they indicated that they first wanted to attend to the organizers of the mobilization. Later, Porquer directly addressed an IB3 journalist to offer her statements.
The mayoress had attended the event accompanied by a group of people who also engaged in verbal confrontations with some of the demonstrators. According to witnesses present, some of the companions responded to the reproaches by defending that they were from Campos and that the demonstrators were not. One even reproached the attendees: “If you are so ecological, you shouldn't take sand with you today on your feet”.
Porquer and her companions left the area after this episode. The tension did not escalate and the human chain, which brought together thousands of people between la Ràpita and les Covetes, continued normally.
Hours after the protest, Porquer responded through an Instagram post in which she denounced graffiti on the Trenc bunker. “El Trenc was already saved, but today they have committed another attack. Very sad, but it is the reality. We bell ringers thank you for your visit,” the mayoress wrote along with images of the graffiti.
