The stage became a mess with lots of insults and swearing; Datena was expelled and Marçal was taken to a hospital
Videos of the moment when the candidate for Mayor of São Paulo Jose Luis Datena (PSDB) throws a chair at Pablo Marcal (PRTB) in the debate of TV Cultura on Sunday (15.Sep.2024) show that the presenter was initially restrained by the mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB) and then by security guards and professionals from the broadcaster.
In the images circulating on social media, it is possible to hear the screams of people present at the time of the attack. The Novo candidate, Marina Helenahe bent down and put his hands to his face in astonishment. Marçal and Datena then start to argue.
“Scoundrel, son of a bitch, you bastard. My mother-in-law even died because of that lie, you little crook.”, shouted the presenter, who had to be restrained. Marçal called Datena “cocaine sniffer” and “dictator”, as he also gestured with his arm.
