The Government has reduced its allocation to the RTVE Corporation by 6.3% to leave it at 443 million euros, 30 million less than the aforementioned State Budgets of the State, by 2021.
This budget item, which includes the Orchestra and the RTVE choir, is 0.3% of the total PGE, as detailed in the Yellow Book presented on Wednesday by the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Jesús Montero.
The scissortazo contrasts with the improvement that the public radiotelevision experienced in the PGE of 2021, after Rosa María Mateo, then unique provisional administrator, would have claimed “a greater budget” and “more financing” for the means of communication that led.
However, the current president, José Manuel Pérez Tornero, will face the next year with lower incomes, at least in what affects this route.
If by this year, 25.1% had been improved, for the next RTVE a reduction of 6.3% will assume;
That is, 378 million was passed at 473 in 2021 and facing 2022 the figure is discovered to stay at 443 million.
All this takes place when the debt of the corporation has climbed up to 380 million euros, as it has made the world known.
In fact, Pérez Trene has had to get a CaixaBank credit of 140 million to alleviate the impact on the King’s meadow finance.
The budgets fell the assignment for RTVE since 2016 until 2018, established at 343 million, but a slight improvement was applied in 2019, up to 376 million, replicated for the following year, with 378 million as assignment.
That is why it surprised especially the bracket to funding in the game by 2021, in which 473 million chain was endowed.
For RTVE, the greatest injection of income comes from the assignment of the state established in the PGE, but in reality around 95% of its total budget, which exceeds 1,000 million, has a public nature character.
In this year, to the compensation for public service of 473 million, an amount on the public domain of the radioelectric space of 410 million and 180 million from the contributions of television and telecommunications operators has been added.
According to the first versions of the new Audiovisual Law, this rate from the teleces would disappear to give way to a new one that would support new streaming platforms like Netflix.
