But what can I do?” TV Cultura said in a statement: “TV Cultura regrets the episode that took place during the debate with candidates for Sao Paulo City Hall on Sunday involving candidates Jose Luiz Datena and Pablo Marcal. “The broadcaster reiterates that, following the aggression, all measures were taken in accordance with the rules previously established in writing between TC Cultura and the campaigns of all the candidates present, including the expulsion of candidate Jose Luiz Datena. “The debate continued subject to the consultation and agreement of the other candidates. “During the event, all measures including those related to press coverage, were taken to ensure the safety of those present in line with the rules previously agreed.” A statement released by Pablo Marcal’s advisors overnight said: “Pablo Marcal was cowardly attacked by Jose Luiz Datena, who hit him in the ribs with an iron chair. “Unfortunately, Marcal had to leave the debate in an ambulance to receive emergency medical care. “It’s unfortunate that the debate continued without the presence of the candidate who was attacked. “Pablo Marcal is injured, with suspected fractures to his chest and difficulty breathing. “We hope that the appropriate legal measures will be taken and we count on people’s prayers.” An earlier mayoral debate involving five participants had been described by one newspaper as “all bark and no bite.” Both men are bidding to become the mayor of Sao Paulo and have not held a political office before.
