## Dataset Structure


### Data Instances

```
{
  'summary': 'Un vídeo corrobora les agressions a dues animalistes en un correbou del Mas de Barberans',
  'text': 'Noves imatges, a les quals ha tingut accés l'ACN, certifiquen les agressions i la destrucció del material d'enregistrament que han denunciat dues activistes d'AnimaNaturalis en la celebració d'un acte de bous a la plaça al Mas de Barberans (Montsià). En el vídeo es veu com unes quantes persones s'abalancen sobre les noies que reben estirades i cops mentre els intenten prendre les càmeres. Membres de la comissió taurina intervenen per aturar els presumptes agressors però es pot escoltar com part del públic victoreja la situació. Els Mossos d'Esquadra presentaran aquest dilluns al migdia l'atestat dels fets al Jutjat d'Amposta. Dissabte ja es van detenir quatre persones que van quedar en llibertat a l'espera de ser cridats pel jutge. Es tracta de tres homes i una dona de Sant Carles de la Ràpita, tots ells membres de la mateixa família.'

### Data Fields
