Javier H. Rodríguez is a journalist and editor at El Salto’s Galician branch.
His investigative work focuses primarily on environmental issues, and he has gained recognition for his coverage of the multinational corporation Altri’s attempt to establish a large-scale pulp mill in Palas de Rei. He has also reported extensively on social and cultural issues, uncovering clientelist networks involving senior officials in the Galician government and their relatives within the entertainment industry.
