"I have never exchanged even a 'good morning' with him." This was the emphatic response from RTVE President José Pablo López to accusations of collusion with Pedro Sánchez, made on Thursday by a Vox deputy during his first appearance before the Joint Parliamentary Control Commission of the RTVE Corporation and its Societies. This session in Congress, requested extraordinarily by the PP, was attended by López to outline the general lines of his project at the helm of the Corporation.
Before parliamentarians posed their questions, the executive, who began his term at the end of November last year, proposed "an ambitious reform" of RTVE's news services with a "new executive structure to streamline decision-making" and the establishment of a central information desk to ensure "that citizens are not left defenseless against misinformation." He also announced a "profound" overhaul of the 24-Hour Channel, as well as Radio 5 Todo Noticias.
López also explained that he has reduced executive positions by 15% and cut his annual salary by over €35,000 (capped at €200,844). He wanted to clarify the starting point from which the new management team is taking over the corporation. In this regard, he stated that 2024 will close with losses around €26 million and that his goal is to achieve budgetary stability by 2025. To reach this financial balance, RTVE has already implemented measures such as "a new television content programming policy with greater spending restraint"; leveraging existing program stocks in the design of RTVE's various channel schedules, such as increasing broadcasts of Spanish films that are part of the company's inventory.
Regarding the recruitment process, the RTVE president expects to "complete" the practical test phase "by the end of April" and believes that "the entire process would be completed approximately by June or July, allowing for new hires at that time." López also stated that, since January 15, "all information has begun to be published on a dedicated portal, developed and managed by Corporation professionals." "In this way, we aim to avoid the issues that, as you know, arose when this service was outsourced to an external company."
Concerning the leak of the informant exam, the president recalled that he has requested the State Attorney to represent RTVE in the criminal proceedings; he has opened a new labor file against a second employee and has also requested the State Attorney for a report on the possibility of RTVE covering the expenses incurred by those affected by the leak.
