RTVE under pressure to investigate Jesús Cintora after Marta Gómez complaint
Controversy erupts at Spain's public broadcaster. A group of anonymous voices on social media and forums have called on RTVE to open an internal investigation into journalist Jesús Cintora, accused of publicly humiliating fellow journalist Marta Gómez. The demands go further: they want him immediately dismissed from TVE.
The origin of the controversy: an alleged humiliation
According to circulating reports, Marta Gómez complained of humiliating treatment by Cintora during a broadcast. Although the specific details have not clearly emerged, the complaint has struck a chord among those who consider the presenter's behaviour unacceptable. "The facts must be investigated and action taken," they argue.
RTVE's response in the spotlight
So far, RTVE's management has made no official statement, which has fuelled further discontent. "Nothing will come of it," some predict, while others demand firm action. "Let's hope this is not yet another case of impunity at the public broadcaster," the commentary reads.
The case once again shines a light on the working climate at Spain's public media and on broadcasters' responsibility when faced with complaints of demeaning treatment. With the demands on the table, the ball is now in RTVE's court.
