“This is clear proof that state medical aid is essential. These people, even if they are undocumented, also need to be treated, including psychiatric care,” he declared. This, in the presence of Lola’s mother, also present on set.
His position quickly angered many Internet users, who commented extensively on social networks. It was therefore on X (formerly Twitter) that the 61-year-old journalist “explained himself”, reproaching his detractors for their “miserable recovery”.
