For years the Corporación de Radio y Televisión Española (RTVE) has faced paralysis due to what many see as a democratic deficit in the way that the corporation’s Board and management are formed. It is hoped that a “public contest” to decide on the Board’s makeup to will also improve accountability and transparency as well as better ensure RTVE’s independence.
PMA partner Teledetodos, has released a detailed press release and declaration calling on the recently elected Spanish government to live up to promises to reactivate the public-tender, commit to sustainable funding and better ensure “social participation” with the public broadcaster.
