Therefore, Big Brother has decided to review all its protocols and strengthen the teams to face possible situations of violation of rights. In any case, and in regard to Carlota, Big Brother insists on condemning and denouncing non-consensual sexual relations and therefore will establish new limits and measures in his goal of zero tolerance in these situations. In these moments, Big Brother is studying to strengthen the privacy of the confessional in exceptional situations, to establish the policy of zero alcohol and to reinforce the attention to the contestants during and once they have left the house.
