While filming a group of foreigners, who were drinking beers under palapas and lounge chairs, a man in his late 50s stood up from the group and faced the reporter directly, questioning in an aggressive tone why she was filming them.

Trying to respond that they could not be on the beach due to the closure of the beaches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the foreign man approached the reporter attacked her, pushing her, all while the live broadcast continued to role.

“You can’t film us. You need our permission. And we don’t give you permission. Get out of here! ”Says the man in English, while Doraliz insists that it doesn’t matter and they are on the beach when they shouldn’t be.

These events have caused outrage on social networks, as it is assumed that the beaches are not open to any tourist, however, in the journalist’s video you can see at least 7 to 10 people in a restaurant with a beach area drinking beer and taking rest at the tables and palapas.

In the end, the reporter retires and continues broadcasting, gives notice to the authorities and films (in another video) when members of the Municipal Police arrive to ask tourists to leave, warning them about the measures, although they do not compel them and end, they stay. 

Closure of beaches for one month

In some states, there is a presence of the Navy, National Guard, and Army, on their coastal territories, while in others only elements of Civil Protection and Municipal Police.
