Laia Angrill

Laia Angrill is the communications officer for Unió de Pagesos, a prominent agricultural union in Catalonia. Recently, she was in the news for her involvement in a farmers' protest aimed at addressing the overpopulation of wildlife, particularly wild boars and deer, which has been causing significant damage to crops and livestock. Angrill emphasized the need for the Catalan government to reconsider its wildlife management strategies to prevent the spread of tuberculosis among farm animals. During the protest, she criticized the stringent protocols that require the culling of infected livestock while allowing uncontrolled reproduction of wild animals, highlighting the urgent need for effective measures to protect farmers' livelihoods.
