The event was attended by the Regional Minister for Rural Affairs, María José Gómez, and the Mayor of Lalín, José Crespo, along with several mayors and representatives of different GDRs from Galicia. Martín Alemparte Vidal, current director of the Galician Food Quality Agency (AGACAL), was also present.
