After more than two years of

Rosa María Mateo

as the sole administrator of RTVE, the agreement between PP and PSOE arrived on Thursday to renew the Board of Directors of the public entity.

And the criticism and the discomfort of the workers of the public entity have not been long in coming.

"Trading cards", "political fix", "joke" are some of the expressions expressed to EL MUNDO by workers of the corporation.

"It is a real joke, they already gave birth to the issue of the contest and now they do not even take it into account. It is a new change of cards between the two great parties," the journalist and former number two said in a telephone conversation with this newspaper from

the RTVE News Council

, Isabel Terán, who points out that with this model "public television is not moving towards removing politicians from decision-making but is moving backwards."

Other sources consulted by this newspaper argue that "this change of stickers" has aroused "great discomfort" among the public television journalists because "they have killed the opportunity to depoliticize" the entity.

"The best have not been chosen, it

is a very dirty political move

," they conclude.

"The fact is that the promised parity is not even fulfilled," completes Terán, who argues that the new Board of Directors "is not going to help RTVE advance into the future."

"Have nothing personal against any of them, but it seems like we're going more towards 80s and 90s television rather than looking ahead."

Among those who have openly criticized this political agreement of the PP and PSOE, with participation in the Council also of PNV and Podemos, there are also historical figures such as José Ramón Patterson.

"Your Lordships have gone through the merits and projects and disrespected very solvent candidates with very serious plans," the former Brussels correspondent and worker for 37 years of the public chain, has stated on his Twitter account. added that to carry out this formula "there was plenty of the public contest and the paripe of the appearances".
