The vote of the board of directors yesterday put an end to the soap opera of the signing of presenter David Broncano for Radio Televisión Española (RTVE), which automatically became ammunition in the parliamentary fray between PSOE and PP.
“Between the program that they want to bring to TVE nights, plus the earpieces that they have brought to this Parliament, the ALS law was financed and there was money left over,” Alberto Núñez Feijóo snapped at Pedro Sánchez during yesterday’s plenary session.
The popular leader was thus referring to the hiring of the comedian that Génova has elevated to the category of political controversy by framing it in an alleged intention of the PSOE to dispute the leadership of the so-called prime time with Pablo Motos, whose program, El hormiguero, includes a space of gathering that repeatedly charges against the Government.
“We both know that he is not doing well; “You survive in fits and starts, Mr. Sánchez,” Feijóo added as a nod to the names of the pets that appear alongside Motos in his Antena 3 program.
The fact is that the board of directors of RTVE agreed yesterday to contract the format of La Resistencia, directed and hosted by Broncano, to broadcast it from September 2024 to July 2027 on La 1.
And it did so with five votes in favor – two from Concepción Cascajosa, who asserted her casting vote as president, another from the councilor also proposed by the PSOE Ramon Colom, a quarter from the one chosen by the PNV, Juan José Baños, and a fifth , by counselor Roberto Lakidain, at the proposal of Unidas Podemos–, compared to the three votes against by the PP counselors and the abstention of José Manuel Martín Medem, also elected at the time at the proposal of Unidas Podemos, but today integrated into Sumar given his membership in the PCE.
The proposal brought to the vote by Cascajosa, and which her predecessor, Elena Sánchez, refused to support, leading to her subsequent dismissal, amounts to 14 million per season, and can be canceled or renegotiated from the second season onwards if it is not met in the first six months. reaches a screen share of 7.5%.
Feijóo framed the aforementioned disbursement in Sánchez’s need to improve his “television vanity”, although he predicted little return for the interests of the leader of the Executive, ensuring that “people are not interested in the propaganda” of those who “have blown up the acronym of his party. He is no longer a socialist, nor is he a worker nor is he Spanish.”
Sources from the entity, however, emphasize that the amount of each of the programs that Broncano will host at the return of the television summer will amount to 87,000 euros. 25% less than the nearly 120,000 euros that each episode of the 4-star series currently broadcast on the aforementioned television slot costs on average.
