The tension in the periodic appearances of the President of RTVE before the Mixed Congress-senated control commission to the Corporation have increased progressively since José Pablo López began to pay parliamentary accounts at the beginning of the year as a result of his exercise in office. From the first Compasses of Florete, summer was reached between accusations launched both from adding and vox once the failure of audiences of that bet for the afternoons of the first channel on public television, López changed the grill of the new season with a succession of current programs where Tertullians of diverse caliber comment on the news of the day while they happen. The hearings endorse the commitment and the opposition groups to the government reproach the president of the Corporation to have delivered it to the “Infoenttenimiento.” And among the recent episodes that have amplified the controversy is López’s decision of a maneuver defended this Thursday by his fence in parliamentary headquarters: “We are all aware that Eurovision is not a mere song festival. It is something else. The political burden it has is enormous. We all know it, the Uuer and Israel knows it too, and that is why it uses it to project its messages.”
– in line of the one taken by the public televisions of other countries such as the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Ireland – was endorsed by the Board of Directors by 10 votes in favor of the directors proposed by the PSOE and its partners in Congress, an abstention of the counselor proposed by Junts and four votes against the members appointed by the Senate at the proposal of the PP. And the president who promoted the vote in the corporate governance body has responded during his first intervention in response to the PNV senator Luis Jesús Uribe-Etxebarria Apalategui on the following steps to follow: “It was time to break the existing silence in the European Radiodifusion Union [UER, organizadora del certamen] With the genocide in Gaza. The damage that the current direction of the UUr is causing the festival is immense. As you know, we currently preside over the Eurovision Reference Group. The expulsion of Israel clearly exceeds the mandate of this group, so we have agreed to send a report about it to the Executive Council. Subsequently, as indicated by the UER, the decision would be made by vote in the Geneva Assembly in December. I hope that for the sake of the UUr we do not have to reach that point of subjecting the entire structure to a final vote for the decision of its managers, who have not assumed their responsibilities and have not taken a step forward. ”
Regarding the new Spanish Television program, Vox spokesman Manuel Mariscal Zabala has accused the president of the corporation and the collaborators of the new current spaces of “insulting and laughing on the face of the Spaniards”. And before attacking the presenters of spaces such as 360º Mañaneros, bad tongues, direct to the grain o Imperfect future, He added: “It is insulted from RTVE to those who criticize the government calling us idiots, for the spokesman of the Ultra Party there is only one doubt in case of becoming part of a government:” Do we enter RTVE with chainsaw or with flamethrowers? “José Pablo López has responded with an observation:” I see that he did not like it. ” Among others, “do not promote the signaling to which you think differently”;
For the PP, according to its spokesmen, everything that José Pablo López represents is “Telepedro”, in the case of public channels, and “RadioPedro” in relation to National Radio of Spain. With both concepts, especially the first, they have hammer their interpellations to the appearing. The president of RTVE has been defending his management and the hearings against those of public televisions of the autonomous communities governed by the popular. Faced with the accusations of “manipulation, sectarianism and debt waste”, López has opposed figures and defended the presenters and collaborators of the new programs to whom the opposition to the Government considers conceived “the greatest glory of Pedro Sánchez.”
The deputy of the PP Macarena Montesinos has accused the leader of the Corporation to “have signed the death certificate of the public service.” And López has responded that “reinforcing the public is to strengthen democracy.” And looking at Deputy Montesinos, he concluded: “Breaking the public is to break democracy. And that is what you have done here today.” Next, the popular senator Carmen Riolobos has cataloged him as “the new substitute for Mr. Ábalos in the socialist group, for what we have seen.” The appearing party has shown his surprise for the comparison and has finished off: “I did not expect it from you, I thought I had more class. But the respect that the Popular Party in this congress has been clear.”
