Tv-zender Four
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 00:05
Police in Spain have arrested a man for groping a female reporter. You can see it on video footage that he taps the journalist, who is reporting live on TV, on her buttocks.
The passer-by’s action has caused outrage in Spanish politics. Due to the much-discussed kissing incident after the World Cup victory, transgressive behavior is currently a major theme in Spain.
Reporter Isa Balado reported today in Madrid for the commercial TV channel Cuatro. The subject of the report was a robbery. During the conversation with the presenter in the studio, the man approached Balado from behind. After the incident she tried to pick up the thread again.
“Did that really have to happen?”
The presenter in the studio insisted that the man be shown in full view. Balado confronted him about his act. “Did you really have to touch my butt?” she asked. The man then denied that he had done that, after which the journalist repeated that he touched her buttocks.
After the brief altercation, the man walked away. He tried to run his hand through the reporter’s hair.
Support and disgust
The owner of the channel says that they reject any form of intimidation and aggression. “We support Isa Balado after the horrible situation she found herself in today.”
Spanish Employment Minister Yolanda Díaz said in a response that the incident should not go unpunished. The Minister of Equality says that it is sexual violence when someone is touched without consent and also wants the perpetrator to be prosecuted.
Rubiales resigned
Recently, the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, resigned because of his kiss on the lips with national team captain Jennifer Hermoso. He has been charged with sexual assault after Hermoso filed a complaint against him last week.
Rubiales declared that his action had been an impulse in a moment of exuberance. Initially he did not want to know anything about resigning, even though he had been publicly called upon to do so.
