• The deputies and senators of the GPP have ended their interventions urging the Sole Administrator to resign
The deputies and senators of the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Control Commission of RTVE have called on Tuesday for the resignation of the sole Administrator of RTVE, Rosa María Mateo, for manipulation and sectarianism at the head of the Corporation. This was claimed during Mateo's appearance before the Mixed Commission, which took place after several months demanding his presence in Parliament.
The GPP spokesman in said Commission, Eduardo Carazo, stressed that "Spain does not deserve a government that lies to them at all hours, but neither does public television broadcast the government's lies at all times", and has denounced the lack of objectivity of public television pointing out that “there is no balance of information when only one story is offered, that of the Government and without a time limit, but not a minute is devoted to a press conference by the leader of the
opposition, as happened yesterday with Pablo Casado ”.
Likewise, the Deputy Speaker of the GPP in Congress and Vice President of the Commission, Macarena Montesinos, has criticized Rosa María Mateo, noting that “RTVE is absolutely devoted to the Sánchez empire and directed, not by you, who is a mere puppet, yes very well paid, if not by the PSC sanchistas who have achieved control of RTVE and whose television model is TV3 ”.
Montesinos has addressed Mateo by assuring that “the Government is the main danger and the most active agent of disinformation, false news and hoax, and you are one of its great accomplices. The Spanish are fleeing this RTVE that you have described as appalling and that has made it so because of the manipulation and sectarianism that you practice ”.
Along the same lines, Senator Javier Lacalle has stressed that “TVE is not neutral when it pays discredit campaigns towards some institutions or political parties; it is not when it hides the pain of tragedy; when it omits or minimizes the protests against the Pedro Sánchez government; when presenters confront guests if they say something they don't like; when the second Vice President has a privateering license to launch his messages when he feels like it; or when it has become a battering ram of the Government, and not a free and rigorous channel at the service of all citizens ”.
On the other hand, senator Sergio Ramos has reproached the sole Administrator for not having put the black tie as a sign of respect for those killed by COVID-19. "That you put it now, shows that you are not independent from the Government and that there was no other reason than to obey the Government's order, in its strategy, these two months, to hide the tragedy, hide that in Spain they were dying many people, the pain of their families and the tear of not being able to fire them, "he said.
For her part, deputy Carmen Riolobos has stated that “Mateo has put RTVE at the service of the Moncloa social communist government with government overdose, manipulation, lack of pluralism, gas light to the opposition and minimize criticism of Sánchez, as signs of identity " In addition, he considers that the hallmarks of RTVE during this time have been "the Government overdose with 150 press conferences and 13,500 minutes, the rallies of 90
minutes of Sánchez and cut the press conferences of President Casado ”.
As for the bad data of the public body's audience, deputy Andrés Lorite has ruled that "in the measurement of audience quotas there is an equation that never fails: the lower the quality, the lower the audience quota", noting that "the bump of TVE's news audience is directly proportional to the loss of news rigor, lack of pluralism, poor neutrality, misinformation, and the renunciation of independence. ”
In addition, Senator Antonio Silván has rejected the "indoctrination of children" and "the sectarian use of RTVE's public resources that all Spaniards pay for self-promotion by the Government." Silván has defended the professionals of RTVE and has instructed the Government not to manipulate RTVE, turning it into a "transmission belt for political dictation". The senator considers the government's "use and abuse" of RTVE intolerable, "destroying the prestige of its workers and the history of the public environment."
Finally, Silván has denounced the "impudence with which the Government teaches children in the We Learn at Home program from absolute manipulation, disrespecting, plurality, and professional deontology."
