Cristina Ferreira gets 'rebukes' from ERC

Cristina Ferreira, television presenter, was the target of 'rebukes' from the Regulatory Authority for the Media (ERC), the Portuguese media regulator. The ERC considered that the presenter made statements about a sexual assault case that downplay the gravity of the aggressors' actions and the violence perpetrated. The regulator understood that Cristina Ferreira's affirmations minimize the aggressors' conduct and the violence of the crime, thus issuing a formal censure to the public figure. This is not the first time Cristina Ferreira has received criticism from the regulator, which has been closely following her media interventions. The ERC acted following complaints about the statements made regarding the sexual assault case.
