TV3 disavows a television presenter for placing flowers as a nod to the independentist movement

Helena García Melero put on the table of her program some yellow Easter flowers that after a while disappeared from the screen.


A new controversy about the objectivity and plurality of TV3 and its professionals has once again hoarded headlines. The protagonist is now Helena García Melero, presenter of the space 'Tot es mou', who took a "small license" that has been reprimanded by the regional network.

The host of this TV3 program surprised by placing on the table of her program some yellow Easter flowers that were quickly interpreted as a nod to the Catalan independence movement: "I am going to allow myself a small license. We are going to adorn our political table with a small ponsetia, "he said while showing the flowers on the same day in which Quim Torra met with Pedro Sánchez.

After a few minutes, the flowers disappeared from the table without further explanation, which suggests that the presenter was forced to remove them.

It is not the first time that the eyes are focused on García Melero for openly showing his ideology. Weeks ago, the journalist encouraged the firemen and doctors to go "hand in hand with the republic" to protest against the cuts.
