The PSOE and Podemos accelerate the departure of Rosa María Mateo from TVE

• Congress.Rosa María Mateo denies any relationship with Moncloa and justifies the cascade of relays on TVE

• Companies. The newscast writing criticizes the administration of Rosa María Mateo "oblivious to any internal control"

• Economy. The candidates to relieve Rosa María Mateo alert the Congress of the "regulatory, institutional and financial instability" of RTVE

What was presented as a "provisional" solution has now been in effect for more than two years.

The election of Rosa María Mateo as the sole provisional administrator of RTVE was a patch from the Government while the public contest was resolved in Congress.

A failed process, bogged down and tangled with allegations and even a report from the lawyers, but within the Government, especially in the United We Can sector, there is discomfort with Mateo's management.

Coalition partners have re

activated contacts with other parties to sound support that would allow for the election of a new board of directors and a new president and, thus, relieve the current administrator The first contacts with other parliamentary groups to provide RTVE with a presidency and a council administration are underway.

Although the Executive appeals to the willingness to negotiate with all the formations, again it is pointed out that those parties that make up the so-called

, and that would add the absolute majority of Congress (176 seats), are the way to end the mandate of Mateo.This Tuesday, in Congress there was an informative meeting with the spokesmen of RTVE and the report of the lawyers was addressed, especially the issue of the arguments presented, with a view to overcoming this stumbling block.

Now a committee table must be convened, still without a date, to resolve them.

Sánchez's words

"The Government of Spain is not going to accept any institutional blockade and is going to appeal to an alternative parliamentary majority to unblock organs that do not deserve to be blocked," he said a few weeks ago.

Pedro Sanchez

, precisely in an interview with RTVE. The key is to print the flight to the control commission to RTVE -where the

PSOE

and its partners have a majority - to solve the allegations of the candidates, up to thirty resources of discontented candidates;

and those new ones that are considered -or is intended because it is of interest- are validated and the voting of the candidates is passed to the plenary session.The election of the board of directors and the presidency of RTVE is made through the Congress (six councilors) and of the

Senate

(four advisers).

The president is elected from among them. A two-thirds majority of Congress (234 votes) is required in the first vote, but for the second, the support of the absolute majority of the hemicycle (176 deputies) is enough.

A figure that would grant the Government the sum of the nationalists and minority parties that endorsed Sánchez's inauguration.

The relay, at the end of the year

The Executive wants to speed up the renewal of the public corporation, but must save the stumbling block of a stranded public tender: a decision of a committee of experts, allegations, complaints, anger, the need for a report from the lawyers ... Stones in a The path that the Government wants to clear so that the replacement of Mateo is, now, a matter of weeks.

In months, they wait.

Before the end of the year, it would be nice.

The committee of experts approved 19 candidates out of a total of 95 who presented themselves. The lawyers of the Courts question the screening carried out by the committee of experts.

Something that has caused discomfort in the latter.

They emphasize the low female quota of those approved: three women out of 19, for which they present as a possible solution "calling to appear other candidates who, without being classified among the top 20, have been evaluated", which "would allow a greater number of candidates were called to appear, and with this increase the number of women who can be elected members of the board of directors of the RTVE corporation ".

This opens the way to include candidates. This thesis, which is rejected by those approved, is the one that the Government likes, despite the fact that the lawyers also propose the option to resolve among the 19 finalists.

"In relation to the house, with RTVE, it is evident that there is a report from the lawyers that establishes a solution to the current blockade, to appeals also raised by some participants in that public tender and we hope that over the next few months, we can solve it ", explained Sánchez in RTVE.

The public entity, preferred

Pedro Sánchez has included RTVE as one of the priority institutions in which to undertake a replacement of its maximum responsible -

CGPJ

, he

constitutional Court

, the Ombudsman or the board of directors of RTVE-.

Although the focus has been on the

Power of attorney

, public television is also preferred. The causes, in addition to the evident interim, are several: the discomfort of the workers who cry out against the absence of "any type of internal control" to Mateo "due to the absence of a board of directors ", finger appointments in the

staff

management, the loss of influence and audience, the deficit that in 2020 may exceed 50 million ...

The 1

has long disengaged from the fight for the leadership (averaged 9.2% share in September, compared to 12.7% for

Antenna 3

and 14% of

Telecinco

) and its news programs are below those of the private ones, being almost closer to being surpassed by

The sixth

than to surpass them to Telecinco. To this is added that from the environment of Podemos there is discomfort with the treatment they receive in the news and with the choice of some talk shows and interviewees.
