Program team members The reporters have sent a letter to the Directorate of Information Services of Canal Sur Televisión in which They express their “absolute rejection” to the issuance of a report on the terrorist band ETA claiming that “lacks information interest.” They request that it is not issued before even knowing its content in what, in the opinion of the Management, represents An “intolerable” show “prior censorship”.
He Professional Radio and Television Council of Andalusia (RTVA) —A organ that has among its tasks watch over the good journalistic practices in the chain – has issued a note in which it supports the claim of the dozen workers of the program that has signed the complaint and accuses the direction of «Intervene directly» in the program «with the realization of another report» On the organization, the second about the band in the last six months.
The discord report analyzes Henri Parot Etarra arrest In April 1990, when a cargo of explosives transported to Seville to fly entire buildings in the Plaza de la Gavidia, next to El Corte Inglés and next to what was then the Head of the National Police in the capital. His arrest, which will be 35 years old on April 2, avoided what could have been an authentic massacre.
On October 5 ‘The reporters’ spread another report on José Ignacio will, murdered by ETA in 1980which received the Andalusian journalism award in the television mode. The Professional Council denounced that content had been canceled on the Gaza War to issue another on an ETA attack 44 years ago.
Both the Professional Council and an outstanding part of the program team now consider that LTo ephemeris of the arrest of Parot does not deserve to be remembered in one of the emblematic programs of public television. ABC has contacted Tuesday with The editor and presenter of the reporters, Mabel Mata, who declined to make statements and referred to the complaint brief. He said that she is another member of the team and that she is not a spokesman for anyone.
The reporters of the report that is expected The Deputy Director of Informatives, Antonio Salvador, A journalist with a long professional career in written and audiovisual media.
A job with testimonies of great relevance
The Directorate of Information Services of Canal Sur TV, consulted on Tuesday by ABC, has described as “An intolerable prior censorship attempt” that a report is intended to veto the arrest of the ETA HENRI PAROT now 35 years ago. It was a turning point in the police siege against the armed band and took place after the Parot doctrine, a controversial decision that caused the release of almost a hundred condemned.
For informative services «it is a journalistic work of undoubted interest that explains the episode relying on testimonies of great relevance»And some unpublished in the police proceedings such as the person responsible for the operation and the full declaration of the terrorist. «Maintain that, without having seen it, it lacks information interest A report due to the fact that the blasting of the former Superior Police Headquarters of Seville was not consumed as Parot had been arrested in a Civil Guard road control is a huge straightness, ”they warn from the direction.
The work addresses the important consequences of the dismantling of the itinerant ETA command at a key moment for the country, as was The preparation of the Universal Exhibition of Seville and the Olympic Games in Barcelona. He also promoted France’s collaboration with Spain in the anti -terrorism struggle.
Who has echoed the claim of a group of workers in the program is The RTVA Professional Council, an organ composed of nine professionals chosen by the chain template. Until April 2023, when he renewed his organs, he was chaired by the editor Eva Rodrigo, daughter of the former councilor at the City of Seville and former director of the United Left Antonio Rodrigo Torrijos.
The protest also coincides with the controversial broadcast in the RTVE of the Documentary entitled ‘7291’, in allusion to deaths from Coronavirus which occurred in the first wave of pandemia in the residences of the Community of Madrid in which the management of the regional government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP) is directly attacked.
They ensure that the failed attack “does not deserve a report”
The workers contrary to the issuance of the content on ETA argue that said attack with a car bomb “never occurred.” The French terrorist was arrested before. In his complaint they affirm that «The 35th anniversary of said arrest, which happened by chance In a routine road control, it does not deserve a new report on the armed band ». They add that “the ephemeris are common” in the program, but that of Parot “It is decontextualized, and lacks information interest. It is intended to commemorate something that, in reality, did not happen ».
In addition, the signatories of the letter regret that the realization of the report It has decided “unilaterally” by its author and that «will use the few technical means of our program and It will be done without attending the work plans of the teams that, week after week And with great an effort, we move forward the broadcast in increasingly precarious conditions ». Despite the prior censorship of this content, the professional council highlights «the attitude of dialogue and collaboration of the companions of the reporters, who, from the first moment, They tried to transfer their disagreement on this matter with arguments and even asking for a meeting with Antonio Salvador that he rejected ».
From the Directorate of Information Services of Canal Sur TV, composed of three journalists of extensive and recognized professional career, deny that lack of dialogue. I wield that They gave “detailed explanations” to a editor of the Los Reporteros program when it showed its rejection of the preparation of this content. They add that it is the power of the management to propose the elaboration of those reports of this program that you consider of information interest.
