A group of protesters gathered in front of the PSPV-PSOE headquarters on Hospital de València Street has prevented a team from the Valencian public television À Punt from completing a live connection in the news that the channel was offering this afternoon.
The journalist Matilde Alcaraz reported when she began the connection that it was "really difficult to work in an atmosphere of tension and tension" and reported that both she and the cameraman who accompanied her were subjected to objects being thrown and the shouts of "manipulators." ". "It is very difficult to report under these conditions," said the reporter. These circumstances have effectively prevented the live connection from ending properly.
The Unió de Periodistes has issued a statement condemning "the attitude of the protesters who have attacked the ÀPunt Noticies team. The legitimate right to protest cannot prevent the right to inform. All our support to Matilde Alcaraz and Toni Polit."
The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has condemned the events through social networks.
The PSPV-PSOE has shown its support for the À Punt journalist and "for all the media that are being attacked for doing their job." "The complicit silences and poisoned speeches of the PP lead us to this: hordes of violent people in the streets who go against democracy," they have criticized.
The spokesperson for the formation in the Valencia City Council, Sandra Gómez, has sent "a hug to all the media colleagues who have been holding on for a week" and has assured that "this is what both the PP and "VOX is calling for peaceful rallies." "A beautiful citizen voice right now represents the right," she added.
The official 'X' account of Compromís has expressed its support for the journalist and the cameraman and has issued its "strongest condemnation of this new ultra attack against the right to information."
The ombudsman of the coalition in Les Corts, Joan Baldoví, has shown his support for both professionals and "for all the workers who these days are suffering from the violence of the extreme right."
