The LaSexta Al Rojo Vivo team has traveled to the Ministry of Agriculture, where an unfortunate situation has occurred: reporter María Lamela and her team were attacked during the agricultural demonstration called in front of the ministerial delegation.

Lamela, fortunately, had the support of a citizen, who tried to prevent the situation from escalating. Of course, without success, because another of the protesters ended up attacking his partner, Luis de la Rosa, breaking his camera viewfinder.
