"We demand Rosa María Mateo to explain how the coronavirus is being addressed in RTVE and to answer the criticism that the workers have made on fundamental issues for the operation and security of the Corporation," Montesinos said.
In another series of questions, the GPP requires knowing “what actions for cleaning and disinfecting equipment and facilities have been carried out at RTVE since the declaration of the state of alarm, which managers and in which areas of activity have been absent from their responsibilities since At the moment, what cleaning reinforcements have occurred since then or what periodic information do those responsible for RTVE offer regarding the number of affected or infected workers ”.
In the same way, the Popular Group wants to know if “all the workers who carry out teleworking have been provided with the necessary means to carry out their task, if they consider it appropriate for the sole Administrator of RTVE to join the internal crisis committee for the coronavirus to the representatives of the workers, or if the management of RTVE has taken any measure to clarify responsibilities in cases in which an absence or neglect in the areas of activity has been proven due to the risks of the coronavirus ”.
According to the GPP deputy spokesperson, “the situation caused by the pandemic requires that an essential public service such as RTVE give an example of rigor, compliance with the rules imposed by the state of alarm and maximum prevention against the risk of contagion, and not It seems that there is a coordinated command or that the necessary responsibility is accredited in these circumstances. ”

Montesinos has also denounced the latest episode of manipulation in RTVE, within the campaign of bad practices that continues against the PP in the information disseminated by the Corporation related to the coronavirus, which is why the GPP had already requested an urgent appearance in the Congress of Rosa María Mateo as well as the dismissal of the maximum responsible for this "abuse".
