The RTVE board postpones the decision on Broncano's contract due to legal doubts about the vote. Elena Sánchez has not attended this Thursday's meeting nor has she delegated her vote.

The absence without delegation of vote has led the board of directors of RTVE to consult the corporation's legal services about the value of the president's casting vote. Four votes were guaranteed to give the green light to the hiring, compared to three votes against and a foreseeable abstention. Five votes were necessary for its approval.
