How the 'pizpi' was staged: the fake attack meant to shield Díaz
A video circulating on social media shows a person (whom commenters call 'pizpi') faking an assault by a journalist in order to protect Spain's Labour minister. The clip, spread on platforms such as EDATV, has triggered a wave of mockery and skepticism.
The scene that doesn't wash
In the footage, a supposed journalist brushes the woman's arm, and she reacts with a theatrical 'How dare you touch my arm, you ing pervert,' while another person pushes her from behind without even looking at her. The staging is so clumsy that even the minister's own supporters call it 'melaf00' — slang for 'I don't buy it.'
The online response: between mockery and outrage
The comments came quickly: from those pointing out the lack of subtlety —'She uses the formal 'you' with him when he uses the informal one with her'— to those concluding that this kind of tactic only feeds public distrust of politics. Some even ask where to watch the video, while others label it 'a dungheap for the brainless.'
With the official story in tatters, what remains is the image of a minister resorting to this kind of trickery. The question is: who still believes this script?
