One of the most unfathomable mysteries of this legislature is trying to guess how it is possible that state television is taken over militarily by the People’s Party. In any circle where I hear about the matter, the comments tend to go almost always in the same direction: I don’t see it anymore, every time I tune in I get angry, how is it possible that it doesn’t endorse the interventions of the president and his ministers, not even in the international spheres… It is not about extolling the achievements of the coalition government, we are not talking about propaganda, it would be more, but it is about informing citizens of how they affect their day to day, for example, the laws of progress and the fight against inequality that has been approved for three years, why isn’t this done?
The Government of the nation should not, as has happened so many times, colonize public television, of course not, not even as a joke, but it does have the obligation to guarantee that the objective for which it was born is fulfilled, the reason it exists: public service Why doesn’t this happen, are they blind, disinterested, feel helpless or have they directly decided that it is a very complicated brown and that there is nothing to do? I am referring to the socialist part of the executive, of course, because the sector of United We Can they hardly give him the opportunity to appear on the screen, except when the news is in charge of giving loudspeaker to all the hoaxes against them that circulate through the rogue worlds of the lawfare.
The program of Julia Oteroin which there was so much complacency, a failure; Jesús Cintora I was going to return, everything was practically closed and at the last minute they freaked out again in Moncloa, where at first they seemed willing to review the slip-up that meant throwing out the journalist with intemperate boxes and thus striking down things clear, despite the excellent ratings that the program had. The newscasts and the current talk shows are petty, insubstantial, partial, tortious…
The PSOE governs with fear of the PP, and of Vox, and public television is the best reflection of this. The left-wing advances of which they now boast have come to fruition thanks to the pressure of United We Canbut that the rtve be plural they have not succeeded, or they have not been interested. Everything has been a resounding failure that began when they knocked down the first Board of Directors, which was knocked down by the socialists, and they decided to opt for a Single Administration of the poor incompetent Rosa Maria Mateo. He then continued with an embarrassment of contest rigged to the marrow out of which a presidency emerged. bluff that lasted a year and a half and we are still there, with a now interim presidency and a Board of Directors whose members are dedicated to fighting among themselves.
The discomfort of the people on the left with whom I exchange views, whether in meetings, after-dinner chats or chance encounters, always has a common denominator: It sends noses that public television, hostile to the Government, is going to be the one that ends up tipping the balance in favor of the right and promoting the first government with the extreme right in times of democracy. Almost everyone sees it coming, fears it, is scared, but nobody does anything. And don’t tell me that the role of state public television is not as important because it is, and more so than we think who may live in other, more “exquisite” worlds.
The unease is general wherever you go, because we are seeing the storm clouds arrive that announce a hellish storm and nobody seems interested in finding a way to avoid the catastrophe. We are going to fall for the octopus and there we go from paella to paella, from cubata to cubata, agreeing with each other, disenchanted and hopeless, but without anyone putting in place any mechanism to stop this and avoid the disaster that seems to be coming. Not even when they are called “absorbent autocracy” do they react.
For some, the key could be to get the left together; for others, that the European presidency grants such importance to the government and its president that this will allow the polls to turn around… There are even those who compare the matter with a basketball game and proclaim optimistically that there is still a long game left, that the important thing is It’s the last quarter of an hour…
Do you really want to tell me that the permanent crushing of the private media and the impossibility of using a public medium like Televisión Española with minimal neutrality does not influence the mood of the scared majority? Because that is the question, the scared majoritythe one who thinks that for having saved fifty thousand euros in her entire life or having a second home on the beach, those pringaos who think they are rich because they have resolved the next six months of their lives, they do not quite see that from the right they are going to leave them trembling as soon as they can, without means, without public schools, without social assistance, with devalued pensions…
When there is no remedy and they realize that their interests are only defended and will be defended by the left, no matter how much the TV tells them otherwise, when they see themselves cheated and start crying on the corners, the most inclement will reply that they enjoy what was voted and the most evil, who will also be the beneficiaries, will tell them directly: “The PP and Vox are not to blame for you having fallen into the trap, you nerds“.
Of course, the game that the Moncloa tenant is playing with the public media, unless his intention is to gargle in the next elections, is difficult to guess. Let’s see how tomorrow is going, let’s see what kind of “experts” he turns to this Tuesday tve to comment on the sessions of the motion of censure. I fear the worst.
