The ultra agitator Vito Quiles supports the reprimand and violent acts suffered by TVE journalists in Madrid: "Zero empathy. They deserve it."

The ultra agitator, Vito Quiles, has spoken out through his 'X' social network about the aggressions and harassment suffered by some TVE journalists live while trying to report on the various demonstrations and protests that took place in different parts of the city of Madrid.

The agitator, Vito Quiles, instead of feeling empathy or rejection for the acts of the people who heckled the journalists, has shown the opposite, saying: "Zero empathy. They deserve it." This comment shows why he is treated as an ultra agitator, since what happened with the TVE journalists were regrettable acts, and he, instead of rejecting them, supports them so that they continue to happen.

In defense of his words, he has said that, "I suffer scenes like this every week for years. Even harsher. Those who are scandalized now are the same ones who made jokes every time my material was destroyed, I was shaken, grabbed by the neck or hit," Vito Quiles has expressed, to try to justify the violent behaviors.

Yo sufro escenas así todas las semanas desde hace años. Incluso más duras. Los que se escandalizan ahora son los mismos que hacían chistes cada vez que me destrozaban el material, me zarandeaban, me agarraban del cuello o me golpeaban. Cero empatía. Se lo merecen. https://t.co/Nmgdy97njS

Harassment and heckling of journalists

Unfortunately, in Cibeles, the harassment of journalists could not be stopped. It all started when a group of people surrounded professionals from Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) and La Sexta, shouting "television, manipulation" and "Spanish press, manipulative." Shoves ensued, along with attempts to push away microphones, until authorities intervened, forming a cordon to remove several reporters from that area.

Jesús Póveda found himself the protagonist of a moment of harassment and heckling directed at him while he was trying to do his job. He reported live for 'Malas Lenguas' on La 1 of TVE, how the attitude changed as soon as the ultras recognized the public broadcaster's logo. The journalist found himself surrounded by people who heckled him and tried to bother him while he was live, so much so that one individual even approached within a few centimeters and confronted the journalist, creating a very violent image. Shoves began, and the Police had to intervene. "We were only trying to inform," he summarized after describing a "very violent" episode.

Hoy le ha tocado a Jesús Poveda en Madrid y a otros compañeros de informativos en Ceuta y Barcelona y a equipos del programa Mañaneros. No son casos aislados. Llevamos más de un mes soportando insultos y agresiones cada vez que salimos a informar.
