A mining exploration project in Serra D'El-Rei, in the municipality of Peniche, is generating strong opposition from various sectors. The exploration aims at the extraction of kaolin and clay in that area.
The opposition to the project comes from multiple fronts. The local population, neighboring municipalities and environmental associations unite against the initiative, expressing concerns about the impacts that the mining activity could bring to the region.
The Junta de Freguesia de Peniche emerges as one of the active voices in this opposition, joining the protest movement against what it considers an unwanted project for Serra D'El-Rei.
