Xabier Fortes responds to criticism for a photo with a harsh reality that happens to many | Society

The well-known presenter of TVE, Xabier Fortes, has faced criticism after a Twitter post in which the journalist enjoys a cover. And he has done it by telling a harsh reality that will have happened to many during the quarantine: not being able to see the family because they simply live in another province.

Fortes decided to tweet with a simple phrase: “Right now Madrid” and a photo in which you can see a plate with octopus and a glass of wine. A very Spanish tradition and that anyone would do under normal circumstances, that is, have a tapa with friends and family. However, a Twitter user has blamed Fortes for being “the chaste” to which the presenter has responded with a sad, but real, personal story.

“I’ve been isolated in Madrid for 3 months without seeing my wife and children. It’s Friday. After getting up at 4 in the morning, when I finish working, I take his health and mine a tapas of octopus (€ 15) and we make a Skype as if we were together in Pontevedra. That is why I am chaste. Anyway … “, the journalist explained in another tweet.

Although Fortes does not usually respond to provocations, he is very active in social networks, in addition, as he himself has explained, “Sometimes very from time to time yes it is necessary to answer to portray the trolls. And this was one of those times. Hugs.”
