Media The former president of RTVE José Antonio Sánchez, elected provisional administrator of Telemadrid
Vox
has placed three conditions on the Government of the Community of Madrid to ratify the provisional administrator of
Telemadrid
in his position: the guarantee of "objectivity", "independence" and "drastic reduction" of the entity's annual budget of 80 million euros per year. public. Otherwise, their vote will be against and at Puerta del Sol they will have to find a
plan b.
The
PP
needs the support of its investiture partner so that José Antonio Sánchez - unilaterally appointed by the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso last July - can stay at the head of the regional chain. Although he has a large majority of 65 deputies in the Madrid Assembly, more than the sum of all the parties on the left (
Más Madrid
,
PSOE
and
Unidas Podemos
), it is insufficient to confirm his appointment.
"If the Government of the Community of Madrid does not guarantee objectivity, independence and a drastic reduction in spending, our vote cannot be favorable," said the deputy spokesperson for Vox,
Íñigo Henríquez de Luna
, anticipating the position of the Rocío Monasterio group in plenary session this Thursday.
"We do not care about names (...). The question is not who, but what is going to be done," he added.
Last July the PP managed to approve an express reform of the Telemadrid Law that modified the system of election of its general director. With the regulatory change, the mandate of the head of the entity will be of four non-renewable years, compared to the six provided in the norm that was approved in 2015 so that it does not coincide with the electoral periods, and it will be done
by an absolute majority
of the deputies of the Assembly rather than with the support of two thirds of the hemicycle, which required the consensus of various parliamentary groups.
The immediate effect of the new text was that the Ayuso government dismissed
José Pablo López
and appointed José Antonio Sánchez, former president of RTVE, as provisional administrator of Radio Televisión Madrid (RTVM), who already served as the head of the regional network between 2011 and 2014 during the terms of former presidents Esperanza Aguirre and Ignacio González. In the absence of its ratification in the Vallecas Chamber, its first decisions were the dismissal of the entire executive leadership and the change of news presenters.
Vox continues to advocate for the closure of Telemadrid or, failing that, that the workers themselves manage the operation of the public company. However, the Monastery party is predisposed to support the Puerta del Sol candidate to take over the entity as long as its three conditions are met.
The enumeration of Vox's demands in the Assembly comes a day after its spokesman in the Madrid City Council, Javier Ortega Smith, launched harsh accusations against José Luis Martínez-Almeida for approving his Sustainable Mobility Ordinance with the votes in favor of its coalition partner -
Ciudadanos
- and the
split-off
Carmenista
councilors
of
Más Madrid
.
"See you in the next elections, Mr. Mayor," the mayor warned after proclaiming that he felt "cheated" by the PP councilor.
