A book confirms Pedro Sánchez’s operation to stop Pablo Motos thanks to David Broncano

Lamata Confirms point by point the most important television of recent times, advanced a year ago by Informaliawhich uncovered the signing of David Broncano by RTVE and the political-media operation promoted by Moncloa to wear El Hormiguerothe program led by the antisonchista Pablo Motos.

RTVE signed Broncano because José Pablo López “I saw the showman from The resistance as the appropriate figure to position public television. “The manager made the decision encouraged by the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchezwho, according to the aforementioned journalist, “had expressed his rejection of El Hormiguerothe leading program of the Night Strip in Spain. “

This thesis was already refuted by former RTVE counselor José Manuel Martín Medemwho denounced the pressures of the Corps Guard of Pedro Sánchez about the then president of RTVE, Elena Sánchez. “To get an idea, to approve David Broncano, they pressed her, they fell on her José Miguel Contreras, advisor to Moncloa; the Secretary of State for Communication, Óscar López, who was then head of the Cabinet of Sánchez; the Minister of Justice, Félix Bolaños; and even Zapatero,” said the former councilor in The Spanish. “Elena told me. He told me: ‘Zapatero has called me to tell me to approve the Broncano contract.’

Broncano entered the dispute over television leadership. This battle fell on the TVE side by the minimum in autumn, but in 2025 the number one has been again El Hormiguerowhich in February has also defeated in a strip of strict coincidence. In the second month of this year, El Hormiguero It has been the most watched television program again. In addition, his grid colleagues, Pasapalabra y THE ROULET OF LUCKthey also exceed the Broncano show.

El Hormiguero He is a spectators for the fourth consecutive month, with 2,009,000 viewers and 14.9 % screen share. The most watched non -sports space in February was not the Goya, but Pablo Motos’s interview with Mariano Rajoy, who congregated 2,482,000 spectators and reached 18.7 % Share. Motos adds 4.5 million unique spectators, while David Broncano is formed to continue being the star space of the 1, staying as the most consumed television program on demand and having broken his impact record on social networks in February.

The book, extended by Juan soto ivarsleaves out of the history of TVE his first 20 years, dominated by the Francoist yoke (1956-1976), and explains the trajectory of the chain from the stage in which he was chaired by Rafael Ansón, brother of Luis María and, according to the author, “a publicist to sell democracy.” The work stops in the darkest moments of the last half century in TVE, such as the silence of the news about the crimes of the GAL or the multitude of scandals accumulated under Aznarism.

JF Lamata analyzes the three stages in which right and left have tried to apply certain consensus to turn TVE into the “Iberian BBC”, although the presidency of Fernando Castedo (chosen by UCD). The attempt of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for depolitizing RTVE under the presidency of Luis Fernándezwho came to support with the PSOE and PP. That consensus lasted little and was dismantled by Mariano Rajoywhich approved two decrees-laws to dodge the need to achieve two thirds of Congress’ support to elect president. The 2006 law, as explained by the author, has been topped by Pedro Sánchez.

After several attempts, the president of the Government appointed as a single administrator to Rosa María Mateo In 2018. Subsequently, he promoted a contest that ended up derailing. From this process several candidates emerged and, again after a pact between PSOE and PP, José Manuel Pérez Tornero He was chosen president. However, La Moncloa imposed on José Pablo López as director of content, despite the distrust of Pérez Tornero. Finally, in La Moncloa they ended up putting the cross to “its” president, as happened in UCD times with Fernando Castedo.

TVE’s black book

According to the sphere of books, RTVE’s machinery is held with an annual budget of more than one billion euros paid with public money. “Money destined to offer truthful and quality information, promote culture and serve all Spaniards, but which, in large part, is used to pay political commissioners, finance ideological purges, try to censor information and extol the parties that distribute their control,” they point out.

With the debate on the RTVE model as a backdrop, the book points to those who, from both sides of the ideological spectrum, have made irresponsible use of public media. It also raises a journalistic complaint in favor of those who want a better and more independent chain. From Balbín to Broncano, the work certifies “collective failure when keeping politicians away from information instruments.”
