This sexist gesture was immediately condemned by people on social networks and the television channel DW. Their spokesperson said: 'We will reinforce our security, it's not a kiss, it's a non-consensual attack'.
The journalist, the victim of this attack, also wanted to share her opinion on her Instagram account: 'We do not deserve this treatment. I share the joy of football, but we need to draw the line between affection and harassment.'
Julieth continues to cover the event in Moscow, with the support of her channel and public opinion.
