Cinthia Ramírez Santillana—president, with license, of the National Confederation of Radio and Television— is the new institutional head of the National Institute of Radio and Television (IRTP)which is in charge of managing all the State’s media. But she is also the daughter of the former congresswoman for the Alliance for Progress (APP) in the 2020-21 period, Robertina Santillana Paredes, who is active in the party of César Acuña Peralta.
Ramírez Santillana has a degree in International Business Administration and her mother is the founder of Vía Televisión SAC, a company in charge of creating TV programs in the San Martín region.
Hugo Coya, former president of the IRTP, meanwhile, warned that the National Institute of Radio and Television that Ramírez will now lead is an entire conglomerate that includes: TVPerú, Radio Nacional, Radio La Crónica, among others, so the requirement – he indicated – should be to have a boss who “guarantees absolute independence in the processing of information.” Even more so when the requirements for said position have been made more flexible, he added.
He recalled, along these lines, that previously the highest authority of the IRTP was a president, but there was also a board of directors; “Now there is a boss and there is no group that supervises, advises or ratifies the decisions he makes,” he warned.
Cinthia Ramírez takes the reins of the IRTP almost simultaneously with the provision for said organization to broadcast live and throughout its development the plenary and permanent sessions of Congress, which – according to Coya – “is very serious because it gives more exposure to congressional candidates who are seeking re-election at the expense of parties and candidates that do not have parliamentary representation and using public resources.”
I KNEW THAT
Cinthia Ramírez and her mother Robertina Santillana were involved in a street fight last year with her former partner Jorge Romero and her lawyer Marita Pinedo.
Romero, it was reported at the time, accused both of having irregularly appropriated his company.
