Overview

  • Partido Popular, which announced the Senate commission Monday, says it will audit RTVE’s leadership, finances and assets.
  • With an absolute majority, the PP controls the Senate timetable and can set the scope and witness list.
  • The party says it will call RTVE president José Pablo López, accusing him of shielding alleged corruption cases and steering coverage toward Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
  • Proceedings have no confirmed start date, with the PP pointing to timing updates after Semana Santa.
  • The initiative becomes the seventh PP-run probe this term, following inquiries into masks procurement, the DANA storms, the April 2025 blackout, the CIS, SEPI and the Adamuz train crash, with the PP also taking its independence concerns to European institutions.
