Overview
- The Council of News Professionals called Miró’s remarks unacceptable and a clear case of malpractice that breaches RTVE’s style manual, the Information Statute and audiovisual law.
- The comments aired on October 7 in La 1’s Directo al grano and speculated about Valencian president Carlos Mazón’s condition during a long meal with journalist Maribel Vilaplana during the DANA.
- The council says it asked program leaders on October 10 who authorized the intervention and what rectification was planned, and it reports receiving no response.
- It adds that the Magacines director later disputed the council’s oversight of current‑affairs content, a stance the body rejects as it weighs next steps.
- A court in Catarroja is taking Vilaplana’s witness testimony today in the related case, which could introduce new information relevant to the public debate.
