The Official Gazette of the Cortes Generales publishes the candidate suitability evaluation report where we find 'gems' such as: "it looks like a manual copied from Wikipedia", "spelling errors", "poor", "very generic ideas", "just an outline", "four pages"...

He expert committee for the selection of the members of the Board of Directors and the president of the public Corporation Spanish Radio Television has published in the Official Gazette of the Cortes Generales the candidate suitability evaluation report.

Although initially only the selection of the first twenty candidates was made public after the selection process of those who will finally be the ten directors, now all the details are known. evaluations of the committee both with regard to professional experiencel (which accounted for 70% of the score) as well as management project presented (with 30% of the final scale).

Throughout the candidate ratings We find gems such as "it looks like a manual copied from Wikipedia", "poor, loaded with documentation and lacking in proposals", "serious formal deficiencies, including spelling mistakes", "The reference to innovation and technological updating are very generic", "it notes some very generic ideas", "minimal references to technological aspects", "it barely makes concrete proposals", "the project is more of an essay", "it is only a sketch", "just brushstrokes", "superficial and sketchy", “four-page document that does not deserve consideration even as a project outline”, “poor, loaded with documentation and lacking proposals”, “more typical of a presentation (ppt) than an analysis and argumentative development, based on the management model”, “project full of generalities and banalities”, “does not meet the minimum quality standards”, “the proposal is terrible in all areas”, “four notes without any order”, “total plagiarism of the UGT Plan for CRTVE”, “an empty project”…

In contrast, among the highest rated projects The committee makes, among others, these assessments: “good diagnosis of the sector”, “excellent public service analysis”, “proactive and knowledgeable”, “good business structure proposal”, “very well-crafted text”, “many future business and content proposals”, “exhaustive analysis”, “cross-cutting approach, incorporating innovations of interest in different sections”…

Although the management projects were identified with a code to preserve the anonymity of their authorship at the time of their assessment by the committee of experts, the names that correspond to each code are revealed in the final report published in the Bulletin of the Cortes.

From the report it appears that Due to merit they obtained a higher scoren: Manuel Ventero, Francisco Javier Montemayor, Alicia Gómez Montano, Laureano García, Rafael Camacho, Ana María Bordás, Joaquín Cuixart, Francisco Lobatón, José Ignacio Igual, and Francisco Moreno.

Based on the evaluation of projects, those that have obtained the highest score have been developed by Juan Roberto Mendès, Juan Buhigas, Juan Manuel Romero, Agustín García Matilla, José Manuel Pérez Tornero, María Eizaguirre, Alicia Gómez Montano, José María Berruete, Eladio Jareño and Rafael Camacho.

Combining experience and project, Alicia Gómez Montano, Francisco Javier Montemayor, Rafael CaMacho, Manuel Ventero and José Manuel Pérez Tornero lead the assessment.

However, due to the weight of experience, among the twenty candidates selected by the committee there have been management projects classified as "with many generalities, without significant data", "does not make a diagnosis", "without proposals", "a very brief project, with some striking errors such as the suggestions of creating a transparency portal or the figure of the spectator ombudsman, which already exist", "without a general or CRTVE diagnosis", "does not include the complexity of the technological phenomenon", "full of generalities (between poor and approved)", "scarcity of analysis at all points”, “does not propose concrete proposals”, “low level”…

There are many communication professionals on the list of selected candidates, with very few candidates who also provide a business management profile, which is advisable when you intend to run a corporation with a budget of more than one billion in which more than 6,200 professionals work. Technical profiles are also lacking given the technological challenges that the media face in a new scenario of digital convergence.

The procedure

After more than three months of work in which they have evaluated the CVs and projects of the 95 candidates accepted in the public competition, the twenty selected candidates will now have to appear before the Congressional Appointments Advisory Committee, as a step prior to the Plenary Session of the Congress of Deputies itself appointing six councilors.

The fourteen candidates who are not elected by Congress will appear before the Senate Appointments Commission and then the senators will appoint in plenary session the four remaining members of the Board of Directors of the public corporation.

From among the ten designated councilors, Congress will appoint the future president of RTVE, who will succeed Rosa María Mateo, who has served as sole provisional administrator since last July.

The election of the members of the Board of Directors and its president will require a two-thirds majority of the corresponding Chamber. If this is not achieved, an absolute majority will be sufficient in the second vote, which will have to be held 15 days after the first.
