A group of people threw red paint at journalist Pilar Rahola on Tuesday night before the columnist gave a conference in the municipality of La Garriga (Barcelona). According to the communist entity Horitzó Socialista, which has released an image of the events, this action is intended to denounce the “complicity with the genocide in Palestine” of Rahola, who has called his attackers “fascists.”
“I know what fascism is. My family suffered the violence of fascism from the right and the left. They will never silence me. “I am a free citizen of a free country,” Rahola expressed in of red paint.
“Today they didn’t succeed either, I stayed and gave the conference. In the face of intolerance, the word is free,” the columnist, known for her defense of Israel in the war in Gaza and in the conflict in the Middle East, has delved.
