Xabier Castle He faced criticism once again after the election debate in Galicia last Wednesday. The moderator of the election special was very frank in answering this question. Roberto LakidainPodemos, a member of the RTVE board of directors, secured the participation of all three powers upon the offer of Podemos, which accused TVE of lying in criticism of the political representation of the debate in which only BNG and PSOE took part after the PP refused to participate. Current representation in the Galician Parliament.

“When TVE lies and claims that this is “a debate on the parameters set by the Electoral College, the three representative powers” ​​it is because prefers the embarrassment of lying to the truth of the extraordinarily embarrassing truth“Lekidain assured in his post about the debate that Sumar, Podemos and Vox did not participate because they do not have a presence in the autonomous assembly of Galicia.

“I trusted that TVE would not do this, I trusted that it would not undertake to broadcast the most absurd discussion of all the processes going on in Spain. No, the TVE we deserve as a country should not exclude BEING and Add“, the advisor said in another tweet about this.

After the end of the discussion, Xabier Fortes responded to Roberto Lekidain’s criticism on the same social network: “I understand that it bothers you a lot that the audience leader of the discussion is the leader of the audience, but this is going to extremes Tell this barbarism, this lie against your own company… I literally said, not as you said, that the debate was approved by the Electoral College and that parties with representation in the parliament were invited. But come on, we’re already so used to your way of telling things. Despite everything, have a nice day.”

“Xabier, three opinions. First, about what you literally said in the video. Second, you are free to give your opinion on what does or does not bother me. Reviews may be better elsewhere. Three, as you know, JEC decided to let TVE select the participants, so He censored PODEMOS and SUMAR.” Lekidain responded to Fortes by attaching a video in which Fortes recalled the parameters of the Electoral College.

This new publication by the RTVE board member on Podemos’ proposal sparked a new response from Fortes with six tweets: “We’re talking about controversy, not the numerous interviews I’ve given. And since I’m not a robot, I can use similar but not identical expressions. “And I’m pretty sure I literally said ‘selection committee approved format’ or something like that during the debate.”

“I am also sure that in the debate I used the phrase ‘parties represented in the automatic parliament’, or almost the same. In fact, this is the formula that has always been used in the debates we have had in recent years. Therefore, on a day when we were presiding over the hearing in that district, I was twisting the language to tarnish the work of your colleagues, including me.” Your persistence is noteworthy. And it’s really sad to dedicate yourself to denigrate your company’s work with false propositions. “I can assure you that the vast majority of your colleagues at RTVE are very proud of the course of the debate and the audience data today, despite the voluntary absence of one of the candidates, and that they do not understand your visceral resentment, which is undoubtedly a product of resentment,” he continued.
