The management of the Radio Television Valenciana has always been disastrous
from the very beginning.
But it true that in the past few years, with the government of the People's Party
and their absolute majority, it has become basically a "corruption container"
It has been used to make private profits
and in some ways to waste public money,
in order to justify that the television did not work,
while the objective of precisely this one
On 8 November 2013, the Generalitat Valenciana
announced the shutdown of the regional public television
the only one that was broadcasting in Valencian and carried out language and valencian culture,
following the judicial cancellation of a previous plan for massive redundancy
and ordering the readmission of 1.000 employees
Since 5 November, the workers occupied the studios, making their own information
without any hierarchy to controll it. Without censorchip.
The information was completely manipulated, it was the voice of the government,
to show what is the Comunitat Valenciana according to them, but that was not the reality.
And the workers of Canal 9 are responsable for this.
I understand the particularities and the difficulties for an employee when his job is in the balance,
But there is not excuse.
"RTVV will not close !"
"This is a coup d'Etat"
During the past few days the society met our expectations
and I think the employees of Canal 9 have been the first surprised
because they didn't expect such a support.
We have proved that we were alongside workers,
that we believe in a valencian and quality public televison
For many years a lot of people do not watch Canal 9 anymore
and this has been our way to refuse consciously what we dissaproved
Now the situation is very critical and the workers have to believe in themselves,
they are the ones who decide, and they can do it.
"This is a Coup d'état !"
We don't want it to be shut down, nor privatised,
neither without the workers who have been part of this house for so many years.
On 29 November 2013, at 12.19pm, RTVV has ceased broadcasting,
After more than 12 hours of resistance from the workers and the society
RTVV has ceased to exist, leaving a people voiceless.
