Caravaca has since deleted the post, in which he suggested the baby would one day be gay, "sucking black c*ck," however it was immortalized via a screenshot and reposted by Pugilato. People from across the world have come to the father's defense, supporting his decision to teach the comedian a lesson.
Footage of the incident showed Pugilato walk up to Caravaca on stage and say a few words before punching him in the face. As people stood up to help the comedian, Pugilato explained that, "this is because of the pedophile comments he made about my son." When Caravaca moved into the corner, Pugilato followed, striking him in the head one more time and telling him that his behavior "has its consequences."
"I apologize," he added. "I am only a father who defends his children."
The comment that sparked the beating was made on May 31 in response to an image Pugilato posted on X with his son under the caption, "Happiness and Pride."
"Nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay, and when he grows up he gets tired of sucking black c*ck," Caravaca replied. "And as a black worker, no football players. How wise time is, it's time to wait."
The following day, Caravaca posted that he had received "hundreds of death threats from Nazis."
After the on-stage incident went viral, far-right group Núcleo Nacional announced that it would step up to help Pugilato, though it is not clear whether he will be charged.
"We defend the traditional family and are against degeneration," NN wrote in a post on X, "which is why we make ourselves available to Alberto Pugilato to provide him with legal or financial help if he needs it. We understand that HONOR, FAMILY, and our CHILDREN are above all." This is not the first time Caravaca has targeted the children of far-right activists. As El Mundo reports, he made similar comments about a boy whose parents made him carry signs promoting the Vox party.
