Thanks for reply Robert.

This is the point, when the trigger of table2 was create with a command
like this

CREATE TRIGGER trg_table2
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON table2
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE trg_table2();

The trigger is enabled by default as expected. If I do a update on
table2 the trigger fire normally.
But when a replicated table fire a trigger that do the same update, now
the trigger on table2 don´t fire.
I don´t know if this is slony disabling all triggers unless REPLICA and
ALLWAYS trrigers even over not replicated
tables or this is managed by postgresql
