Two Fridays ago, the second deputy mayor of Ripoll, Guillem Barranqueras, raised his middle finger at journalist Xavier Rius during the rally of former mayors of Ripoll against the "repression and censorship" of the municipal government. He made this contemptuous gesture in response to the publication of the book Our ultras, which has caused great discomfort among Alianza councilors. Just before, the Finance Councilor had already confronted Rius in a bar while being interviewed. "Beneit" or "liar" were some of the insults he threw at him in attacks that had already begun on social media, calling him a "pig" or a "liar" after ARA published an interview with Ríos in which he said Alianza was a "sect".
