### Satirical Vignettes Critique Andorran Environmental Enforcement

Helena Anillo, a regular contributor to Altaveu, has published two pointed vignettes highlighting perceived shortcomings in Andorra's environmental protections.

In the first, dated 27 February 2026, Anillo accuses institutional indifference amid social opposition to development. She depicts Jordi Alcobé, presumably a figure linked to APAPMA—the association for mountain pasture and environmental management—donning Mickey Mouse ears despite widespread public "disagreement". The piece, titled "El paisatge com a parc temàtic" (The Landscape as a Theme Park), portrays Andorra's natural surroundings being treated like a commercial attraction, prioritising spectacle over preservation.

The second vignette, released on 28 February 2026 under the title "La gran diferència" (The Big Difference), targets hunting violations. Anillo questions whether a recent fine imposed on a hunter for killing a chamois out of season signals real change—or merely a one-off catch. She implies authorities may overlook such infractions on banders (mountain ridges), questioning if recurrence is inevitable unless perpetrators are repeatedly apprehended. Tags include "fauna", underscoring concerns over wildlife.

These short, satirical commentaries reflect ongoing debates around Andorra's medi ambient (environment), blending humour with criticism of enforcement gaps. No official responses from the named individuals or agencies appear in the sources.
