There was a moment of maximum tension during the broadcast of Buenos Días, Madrid on Telemadrid. Reporter José Antonio Masegosa was carrying out his duties on San Dalmacio Street, in the Villaverde district, reporting on the alleged existence of drug dealers, when he was attacked.
The reporter had gone to the area to report on the fear expressed by the neighbors when he began to be yelled at by a woman who claimed that drugs were not sold in the neighborhood, while making a fuss to avoid being recorded in the street.
“They don’t sell drugs here or anything, huh. Out here, you’re not going to record anymore because I said so, because this is my neighborhood!” the woman shouted. “You’re not going to record anymore! Get out of here! Why are you recording here?”
At several moments, Masegosa tries to calm the woman down and continue with her work, but she is visibly upset. When asked if there are narcotics apartments in Villaverde, the woman insists that there is no. “There are no drug addicts or drug dealers here,” she insisted, very nervous. “You pick up and go to your neighborhood to record.”
The reporter was in the area reporting on the alleged return of drug sellers to the area, heavily punished for this problem in the past, when the woman approached them, insulting them and demanding that they leave the public road immediately. In a moment of tension, the woman pushes the reporter and tries to shake the camera.
“Go to the street, somewhere else! Get out of here now, but now! I’m telling you, you’re not going to record!” he shouts at the cameraman, who assures him that he is not recording him. “‘You film in your neighborhood, surely drugs are sold in your neighborhood, surely it’s your mother who sells drugs,” he scolds the cameraman, José Antonio Masegosa’s companion.
