The PSOE of Andalusia denounced this Sunday as “very worrying that the political agenda of the PP marks the news of Canal Sur Televisión”, a channel which it criticizes for “scandalously not fulfilling its public service mission”, at the limit of the principles of truthfulness, objectivity, impartiality and independence.”
The communications secretary of the PSOE-A, Josele Aguilar, argued in a note that this is demonstrated by the coverage carried out in the information programs Noticias 1 (N1) and Noticias 2 (N2) of the series of meetings of the President. of the government, Pedro Sánchez, with regional leaders, on the migration crisis in the Canary Islands or the diplomatic conflict with Venezuela, “clear examples of undisguised and obscene followings of strategy and speech” of the President of the Council and the PP-A, Juanma Moreno, as criticized by the socialist representative.
From the PSOE-A, they report that the Canal Sur television news of September 20 dedicated to the President of the Council “58% of the time chronicles published on his meeting with Pedro Sánchez –with twelve totals from Moreno–, while the Spanish Government occupied only 8% of the space”, with “two totals from the Minister” of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres.
Josele Aguilar considered that it is “a disproportionate and unjustifiable distribution from a journalistic point of view and the public service”, which “ended up giving much more time to the Basque lehendakari and the Galician president than to the minister”, totaling “21.6% of the total”, was abundant.
In addition, “The story imposed by Canal Sur management is embarrassing, because it echoes and reinforces Moreno’s arguments. Bonilla”, continued the deputy spokesperson of the PSOE-A, who underlined in this sense that, on the day of the meeting, in the previous report of the N1, “it was reported that Sánchez and Moreno did not only have us We have seen for two years that the meeting takes place without an agenda and that the Andalusian president expects nothing from this meeting.
Likewise, “the first meeting with the Lehendakari is reported and it is emphasized that he has several firm commitments, and it is emphasized that this is a ‘different scenario from the one we are likely to experience this post- noon'”.
For its part, the N2 of September 20 responded “to Moreno’s arguments as if they were his own”, criticized the Secretary of Communication of the PSOE-A, who explained in this sense that “dFrom the presentation and live performance, comments such as “he left Moncloa empty-handed” are included, “nothing beyond a conversation”, “no concrete commitment”, “at most we will talk”, “no commitment on the 100 demands, very different from what happened this morning with the Lehendakari”, “many requests and no commitment, which contrasts with the meeting with (Imanol) Pradales”.
“They took the words of the Andalusian president as their ownwhile the voice of the Spanish government is reduced to a minimum and there is no proportionate counter-response”, denounces Josele Aguilar.
Venezuela and Caracas
This “gross manipulation of the Information Department of Canal Sur TV, which transforms public television into a “San Telmo franchise”, was”also extended to the diplomatic crisis with Venezuela and to the political aspect of the migration crisis in the Canary Islands, which do not have close relations with Andalusia, but the PP places it as the axis of its attack against the Spanish government and the RTVA acts as a carrier word of this strategy,” said Josele Aguilar.
From the PSOE-A, they detail that “N1 and N2 devoted 47 minutes and 15 seconds, from September 8 to 19, to the conflict derived from the departure of the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Edmundo Gonzálezto arrive in Spain, always in line with the speech of the PP.”
Josele Aguilar affirms that Canal Sur TV “has extensively covered all the initiatives of the PP in Congress, the Senate and the European Parliament for the recognition of the opposition as winner of the elections, proposed attacks to the PP for the management of the two detainees The Spaniards are accused of alleged terrorism and, perhaps most seriously, they have bought into the PP’s big lie that the government participated in the alleged coercion of the Venezuelan regime so that Edmundo González would recognize Maduro’s victory and can leave his country.
Venezuela, as the PSOE-A parliamentarian has continued to tell it, “disappears from Canal Sur TV channels after the statement by Edmundo González’s lawyer denying any coercion against his client, a fact that was embarrassingly glossed over on the television news,” he said.
The socialist spokesperson denounces that “something similar has happened in the treatment given to the political aspect of the migration crisis in the Canary Islands”. “As the PP was interested in this debate for the scratch votes of Vox, the Andalusian public channel, got to work, devoting 24 minutes 13 seconds to the political fight, more than what happened in the Parliament of Andalusia,” he said.
Aguilar also denounced that “The distribution of time, as always, was characterized by an imbalancesince the voices critical of the Spanish government represented 65% of the total broadcast”, and “even the PP, with 4 minutes 30 seconds, or 18.6% of the total, had more time than the Spanish government” . who had only 3 minutes 21 seconds, 13.8%, pointed out that, “if we add the PP and the Junta (2’49”), the ‘popular’ acronyms benefited from more than double the those of the Spanish government.
And by analyzing the content, “All the demands and attacks of the President of the Canary Islands against the government have spread of Spain and “the national leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, was covered” as if he were head of the Executive by signing the document with Clavijo and during his trips to Greece and Italy”, concluded Josele Aguilar criticizing.
