A reporter couldn’t hold back tears after she was attacked live on air in Barcelona at a march to observe the second anniversary of the Catalan independence referendum.

Laila Jiménez, from Spanish television network Telecinco, was reporting live when she was hit on the head by a Red Bull thrown by a protester on Tuesday evening, October 1 – she was then pushed and shouted at by angry Catalan separatists outside Jaume Balmes school, on the corner of the streets of Consejo de Ciento and Pau Claris.

Some demonstrators yelled at her to leave but others were kinder and tried to protect her, with one of them offering her paper towels to dry herself.

Miss Jiménez, who struggled to hold back tears, later changed locations and continued reporting.

She later described the incident as “humiliating”, according to Informativos Telecinco.

The treatment of the journalist spurred outrage online, with several Spanish politicians condemning it.

On Twitter, Gabriel Rufián, spokesman for the Republican Party of Catalonia, wrote,

“Doing this with a female worker with a microphone on the street is disgusting.”

  1. I just want to mention I am newbie to blogs and absolutely liked you’re blog site. Most likely I’m likely to bookmark your blog post . You absolutely come with fabulous stories. Thanks for revealing your web page.

  2. Thanks for your post here. One thing I would like to say is most professional job areas consider the Bachelor’s Degree as the entry level standard for an online college degree. Though Associate Diplomas are a great way to get started on, completing your current Bachelors uncovers many doors to various employment opportunities, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions give Online types of their qualifications but generally for a substantially higher payment than the institutions that specialize in online qualification plans.
