Patrícia Plaja gives her version of the repositioning of her blouse in ‘Els matins’
The Government’s spokeswoman, Patrícia Plaja, has spoken about the controversy that surrounded her speech in the space ‘Els Matins’ on TV-3. Taking advantage of a brief interruption in the direct, program staff modified the arrangement of her blouse to prevent the spokeswoman from showing her cleavage. Shortly after, from the ‘Els matins’ Twitter account it was explained that she had done it to avoid an “uncomfortable situation” for Plaja.

“We want to clarify that during the interview with Patrícia Plaja we resolved live a situation that we perceived as uncomfortable for the interviewee, because she adjusted her top herself. The production of the program has been as usual and there has been no censorship“said that message.
But Plaja has denied this Thursday in a statement that she was uncomfortable, and has lamented the “retrograde controversy” in which it has been involved. “The low-cut blouse that I chose to go to a television interview did not make me feel uncomfortable. Writing about my breasts in this article, yes,” says the Government spokeswoman.
