The right hand of Pérez Tornero at RTVE supervised the signing of two former collaborators of the president

• The facts Pérez Tornero, president of RTVE, used a family business in his work for the public university

• Public company RTVE gives two subaddresses to former collaborators of its president Pérez Tornero

RTVE's hiring of former collaborators of the current president,

, was "improvable".

This is what the

of the corporation itself believes in view of the selection process revealed by

.

The man in charge of the public channel had to render an account in this regard in the parliamentary control commission and there he assured, speaking of himself in the third person, that "the president of RTVE has had neither art nor part in the appointments."

On Monday, the Audit Committee presented its deliberations in this regard to the chain's

, led by Pérez Tornero himself, and expressed to the chain's leadership the need to "improve the preparation of the requirements to prevent may consider a tailor-made suit, particularly if in the evaluation process there were people with a pre-existing relationship» with those hired.

Although it was not made explicit in the appointment of the Council this Monday, it clearly points to the fact that the right-hand man of the president of the corporation, the chief of

, actively participated in the appointments, from the drafting of the profiles to the interview supervision.

As this newspaper has learned,

was responsible both for preparing the ideal curriculum for the positions and for evaluating the candidates.

That is to say, the president of RTVE had "no art or part in the appointments", since he had personally appointed José Juan Ruiz as head of his Cabinet and he was the one who protected the incorporations of two former collaborators of the president of the corporation:

, the new deputy director of the Projects and Development Area, and

, deputy director of Studies and Knowledge Transfer.

In the first phase, some requirements were drafted that largely coincided with the trajectory of those selected and in the final stage of the interviews only Pi agreed, against a single competitor, and Pastor, who directly no longer rivaled any applicant.

Given these facts, the Audit Committee concluded at its meeting last February that the process could clearly be "improvable".

Ruiz was not inhibited in the signings, despite acting as Pérez Tornero's right-hand man, and supervised the incorporation of two former collaborators of the latter under the merit contest formula.

The two places awarded, newly created, depend in fact on the Presidency's Cabinet, that is, on Ruiz.

A protocol for managers was created as a result of information from EL MUNDO

Pérez Tornero, who had used a family company to carry out work at the public

(UAB), as this newspaper also advanced, thus has two of his former collaborators at RTVE in his long career in the field of disclosure.

Pi was the attorney and director of Educational Projects at

, the family company of the Pérez Tornero family that ended months after a committee of experts selected this teacher from among the candidates to become president of RTVE.

Pastor, for his part, had previously coincided with Pérez Tornero in the editorial area of ​​the

(UOC), among other activities.

The merit contests began on a Friday afternoon in July and contained so many matches with the profiles of former Pérez Tornero collaborators that different sources from the chain consulted affirm that they were made "to measure."

For example, in order to be deputy director of Studies and Knowledge Transfer, "university training at the doctoral level" was required, although higher positions in the corporation were not required.

Pastor is effectively a doctor in Journalism, from the

.

Pérez Tornero downplayed what happened before the mixed commission in parliament, where he stated that the information "is not accredited" and also that "they have no other interest than to discredit RTVE as a service."

However, the truth is that the revelations of this newspaper had consequences.

Last January, the broadcaster created a protocol for the selection of management positions so as not to incur in processes such as these merit contests, a first step towards transparency and prior to the verdict of the Audit Committee, which has transferred his warnings to the Board of Directors this Monday.

Also in January, it was published in the

(Borme) that Pastor ceased to be a joint and several administrator of

, a private company of "services related to information technologies" and about which this newspaper had already reported, given the possibility that this professional work would conflict with his responsibilities in the public chain, to which he had already agreed thanks to José Juan Ruiz and, indirectly, to Pérez Tornero himself.
