Isa Balado: Anger in Spain after man appears to grope reporter live on air
A man has been arrested in Spain on suspicion of sexually assaulting a journalist who was live on TV. The incident occurred when the man allegedly touched her bottom, interrupting her broadcast.
The journalist confirmed the incident on air and the program host instructed her to put the man on camera. The man was seen standing with her, smiling and laughing. The journalist expressed her frustration at being harassed while working and the man denied the allegations.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about sexism and harassment in Spain, with the country's Labor Minister condemning the incident and stating that it should not go unpunished. Similar incidents, including the former Spanish FA president kissing a World Cup winner on the lips, have drawn criticism and led to resignations.
