It has just begun and the presidency of José Manuel Pérez Tornero at RTVE is already facing the first crisis with its professionals.

The public television journalists have shown their rejection of one of the new members of the Board of Directors who has accused them of "sustaining the great lie that Colombia is a democracy" and of having "criminal responsibility" for "not telling the truth. on the violence of the Colombian government against popular mobilization ".

Those were the words that

José Manuel Martín Medem

, Podemos share within the Board of Directors, dedicated to them in an opinion article in

The Last Hour

in which he pointed out that "the terrible information about Colombia will be the last outrage of

Enric Hernández

in his farewell to the RTVE Information and News Directorate ".

Specifically, Medem refers to the program

De pe a pa

and its presenter, Pepa Fernández, for recommending their listeners to tune in to the BBC to find out about the conflict between the Government and protesters that is taking place in Colombia. "Those who are informed through the BBC and RTVE will not find out that the Colombian government is using its historic para-police and paramilitaries against protesters," added the counselor on the website created by the former advisor to Pablo Iglesias,

Dina Bousselham

.

These accusations have not gone unnoticed by RTVE professionals who, through the News Council, have pointed out that it is an "unheard of, incomprehensible and scandalous fact." "

Mr. Medem fails to comply with the mandate entrusted to him by Parliament

when, publicly and as a counselor, he discredits this house or any partner. Especially serious if, in addition, he uses

fake news," they

state in their letter.

In the Medem article, also published on the

Mundo obrero

website

,

a photo of the journalist

Íñigo Herráiz appears

, who has covered part of this information. Towards him they show from the News Council

a "total support" endorsed by other visible faces of the chain such as Xabier Fortes

.

The president of the corporation himself, José Manuel Pérez Tornero, has also launched a message on his social networks pointing out that, "with the serenity that a Saturday gives," yesterday he was rereading "the code of conduct of the Board of Directors from the BBC ". "

I recommend it to those who understand the responsibility, loyalty and independence

required to be part of the heart of a great medium (like RTVE)," he concluded.

Thus a new front has been opened to the president, who was sworn in with his advisers in the Congress of Deputies on March 26 and who in his first intervention in the Cortes already warned that the "infoshow" programs, In reference to

Las things clear

by Jesús Cintora, they would be removed from the TVE grid and that he plans to resuscitate the audience of the public entity that has been sunk to historical lows for three months both in the group as a whole and in its main channel, La 1.
