MP Mario Frias tries to steal a journalist’s mobile phone during a chamber commission

MP Mario Frias (PLSP) tried to steal journalist Guga Noblat’s mobile phone on Thursday afternoon (11) during a session of the Chamber’s Communications Commission. Frias also called the journalist a “little dwarf”.

The scene was recorded on Noblat’s cell phone. The moment captured on video shows Frias getting up and turning to the journalist who was nearby.

“I didn’t know you were a little dwarf,” says the congressman, taking his hand to Noblat’s cellphone, which is recording.

At this point the video posted on the journalist’s Twitter account ends. It doesn’t show what happened before or after Frias’ action.

On the social network, Noblat wrote:

“The weather is getting nicer here in the Communications Committee. MP Mário Frias just attacked me. At first he called me a ‘midget’ and then when I went to record him insulting me he snatched my phone from my hand. Don’ “Don’t worry Mário,” he wrote.

The journalist also said:

“I hadn’t even approached Mário Frias. He came at me with insults because I interviewed him on The Morning Show last year and responded to questions about allegations of corruption against him. Since he didn’t know what to answer, he is filled with hatred to this day, apparently.

O g1 contacted Frias’ consultant and awaited a response until the last update of this report.

Then, in another video, Noblat questions the deputy about trying to get the cell phone. Frias doesn’t answer, gets up and sits in a place further away.
