Nuno Pereira appears kicking one of the young people and then grabs him and pushes him at the same time that he is also grabbed by two young people.
About 10 minutes later, Nuno Pereira is back on air and says that “everything is fine”, without mentioning any aggression: “This is what happened with the national team in Marienfeld, with several young people of Arab origin going through the crowd to cause trouble. And that’s what happened. Everything ended well, they ended up disappearing and took a Portuguese gift. There is nothing more to record,” said the journalist.
The SIC says the journalist was pushed against a pole and dislocated his shoulder. After the second stretch, he ended up being taken by ambulance to Leipzig University Hospital. The medical team accompanying the journalist decided that surgery was not necessary and he ended up managing to fit his dislocated shoulder.
In the news published this Monday about the events, the SIC denounces what it says are “insinuations about some aggressive or violent behavior on the part of the SIC journalists, when what happened was exactly the opposite, with serious consequences for those who carried out their work.” job”.
