Valencia government orders closure of regional TV and radio

As a first step, the regional government tried to cut 1,000 jobs to reduce costs, but the process was considered illegal by the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community. The Executive ensures that to reintegrate employees 40 million euros would be needed.

The President of the community, Carlos Fabra said, at a press conference, that "the sentence leaves us no choice but to close because we can't assume the cost that this television channel had over the past three years, it is unbearable now. This process must take place as quickly as possible. "

When this decision was known, the direction of the RTVV resigned. Rosa Vidal, until now the channel Director, explains that "if to close the RTVV, a position that was already taken, they're going to use a new law, we have already said that I don't count us."

However, the channel's staff began collecting signatures among the population of the community to avoid this lockout, which completes will leave 1700 people out of work.

The protests against this decision occurred also in other regions of Spain. On television from Madrid, where last year there was a process of similar dismissals, employees were the same happened on TV, the public television channel.
