The presence of Pro-Navy protesters today in front of the gates at Camp Garcia in Vieques will be nothing but a provocation, according to anti-Navy activists. They say the group Renacer Estadista is merely trying to provoke trouble, though Renacer claims that is not their goal. Renacer is expected to turn over to military personnel a document expressing its support for military practices in Vieques.

The anti-Navy movement will be joined today by controversial Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, who is to visit...
