A TV station sent a camera crew to cover the festivities, like the Party Against Bullfighting and Animal Abuse (PACMA), which sought to publicly denounce his recordings facts.

But the presence of cameras was not welcomed by villagers, which they even physically assaulted reporters and anti-bullfighting. Moreover, these sectors blamed Juanjo, known locally for his defense of animals, having contact with activists and media to end bullfighting. An accusation that, as highlighted by concerned it is absolutely false.
