What happened in recent days has exposed the state of public television. The successive changes in direction and in the news, the lack of multi-party or complaints handling this public service have degraded down to an unacceptable extent. Its workers have had enough, and citizenship as well.
But this situation does not occur only in Torrespaña. The Telemadrid own or TVG are other examples where politicians have hijacked public television.
The numerous cases of corruption that plague the PP are not news on TV Galicia (TVG). “The TVG continues ignoring the controversy and accusations that are dumped on the PP in recent weeks,” wrote the companions of Public Praza few days ago.
It is not a possible issue, while several journalists Galician public television reported that manipulation intensifies as elections approach and increase the irregularities in the PP.
Many of these irregularities included in the blog “Eu non manipulated” (I do not manipulate ), which has been reporting for over a year and a half ago manipulations information services TVG.
Sources “Eu non manipulate” explain that the decision to create this blog was taken at a meeting workers who were “fed up entirely of continuous and abusive handling in informational spaces.”
Luis Quintas, veteran journalist TVG, which has been working for over 27 years, denounced the plight of found as professionals. “The news is negative for the PP will have very reduced form or directly are not counted. They are so blatant cases professionally offended and pissed off. “
This situation narrate every day in” Eu non manipulated “. “Imagine our weariness with management to report on a blog everything that happens in writing informative.”
According to the journalist, the day Bárcenas papers were published and the whole network of uncovered the alleged accounting B in the PP, the news of the TVG opened with a story “about the rain in Galicia”. “The piece of Bárcenas was relegated to a point of Telexornal in passing unnoticed. In addition, information was biased and based only in the denials of PP, hiding what was really happening. “
Another example are the photos of Feijoo with Marcial Dorado, a drug dealer who is currently in jail . The Galician president appeared in several snapshots with the ‘ narco’ Galician in apparent good feeling. However, despite being a scandal chief executive of Galicia, in the TVG just came out “once or twice” and then “the slogan that he should not go out more.” “They gave the version of President da Xunta and stayed with that, without questioning their relationship with the drug trafficker” Quintas says.
However, the journalist reports that scandals affecting the opposition, “is much enhanced and may even be several days in the news”.
The handling and censorship are not only in politics, transcend economic data that may affect the Executive. “If the data of unemployment in Spain is better than that of Galicia, it reports only the state, if not reversed. As is the same party, the more positive approach seeks to cast, “says Quintas, who recently suffered from a similar case.
Another example was the report of Caritas, which was not issued in antenna although reflecting an increase in poverty considerably in recent years in Galicia. To frame this situation it is necessary to know that the director of news of the TVG was empowered PP election.
The workers have continued to denounce this situation. Are the consequences of this revolution in the writing? The implementation of a control system. A few months ago the TVG communicated to its employees the decision to check email from journalists or banning the drafting bring own electronic devices, such as tablets or memory sticks, with which it could be information. “If you take it, you risk punish you for it,” explains Luis Quintas.
“The main objective of these measures is to keep us under control. On the one hand they want a frightened writing. There is now enough job insecurity, long temporary staff, so it is easier to make a campaign of fear. The second objective is to control, because indignant when workers denounce our situation in the blog or other media. ” “They are acting against the privacy, freedom of expression and the rights of journalists.”
The situation is so dramatic, in this and other means, in Galicia studying open the “Observatory dos Galegos Media” whose aim would be something as basic and necessary as ensure that Article 20 of the Spanish Constitution is fulfilled
Quintas has clear solution. “law enforcement” or “citizenship claims moose and TV quality public who pay “.
” It’s not comply with the law or comply. Public television, like TVG, must follow objective criteria of plurality, veracity, objectivity and be of service to the public, and that is not being carried out. The TVG receives over 100 million per year, leaving taxes Galicians. And that is not reversed in citizenship. People should say enough! “.
