Impulsa Comunicación has since made its website unavailable, but its director told ABC, a newspaper in Spain, that the company "in no circumstance" accepts discrimination.
"Apologies for the misunderstanding, I have personally spoken to this candidate," Pere Terés told ABC.
"We have invited her [Forcada] in. We are a company of transparency with parity, but in no way is it acceptable under any circumstance for there to be any type of discrimination," Terés continued.
