Together for Catalonia (JxCat) MP Francesc de Dalmases will "temporarily" leave his position as JxCat spokesman in the Catalan Media Corporation (CCMA) committee, which controls public media, after the controversy sparked by his scolding a FAQS journalist. At the same time, he requested the party start an internal inquiry to clarify the events give him a chance to "refute and defend himself against the accusations that have appeared in recent days in the media and social media", since the information is "damaging to his reputation". All this will be voted on in the next party executive meeting, where the controversy will be addressed, as JxCat explained in a statement

JxCat MP and vice-president Francesc de Dalmases rebuked a FAQS journalist on July 9th after the programme interviewed Catalan Speaker Laura Borràs, Nació Digital and eldiario.es reported and witnesses have confirmed to ARA. According to these sources, Dalmases grabbed the journalist by the wrist and took her to a room where guests usually wait and shouted at her, scolding her over the questions asked on the set about the current court case looking into Borràs's alleged splitting of contracts during her time at the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes (ILC). Another FAQS worker followed them when she saw the tension, but they closed the door in her face and she was unable to get in. Inside, in addition to Dalmases and the journalist, was Speaker Borràs, her chief of staff, Salvador Esteve; and another member of her team, Pep Elias.
