Violent protesters boycott the live broadcast of Mavi Doñate, TVE's correspondent in Paris: "It is difficult to make the connection"

The serious riots this Saturday in France left unusual images of violence and tension in the streets of the big cities, and the Spanish Television cameras witnessed it.

The public entity's correspondent in the French capital, Mavi Doñate, had an incident during her live connection with the 9:00 p.m. news program, Telediario.

Doñate, wearing a helmet to protect himself and an identification vest, was trying to report the last hour on what was happening in France, when a group of protesters decided to boycott the live broadcast.

In a few seconds, they went from showing themselves behind Doñate in the camera shot to directly crossing in front of her, making threatening gestures, such as cutting the throat or simulating a gunshot with their hands.

The cameraman tried to move the frame to avoid the violent people, while the 55-year-old journalist from Zaragoza tried to maintain her composure in the face of the threat from the protesters.
