The Spanish TV broadcaster RTVE has suspended employee Lorena Gonzalez until further notice after a racist remark in the direction of Real Madrid’s new signing Eduardo Camavinga.
During a live broadcast during Camavinga’s performance at Los Blancos, someone could be heard saying, “This guy’s blacker than the suit, isn’t it?” said.
The public broadcaster had initially issued a statement and apologized “to the aforementioned athlete and deeply regrets and condemns these humiliating comments.”

Those statements were made by “an employee of the broadcaster who is not part of the RTVE staff and who is disrespectful and inappropriate on public television. We will take the appropriate action”.
Gonzalez meanwhile had via Twitter apologized myself. “I made a comment for which I sincerely apologize to anyone who feels offended. It is unfortunate. I thought the microphones were closed. But it has no racist or derogatory component. On the contrary, I am not racist person, as I am accused of. “
