Telefónica has appointed Andoni Ortuzar as Movistar Plus's advisor
The PNV has stated that it sees "absolutely normal" that Telefónica will sign the former president of jeltzales and has highlighted his "experience and experience" in the sector.
Telefónica has included Andoni Ortuzar, who was president of the PNV from 2013 to March 2025, as a member of the board of directors of Movistar Plus in the audiovisual division of the group, a body that also includes Marcos Contreras, adviser to CriteriaCaixa.
With the arrival of the Oruzans, the company aims to strengthen public dialogue, institutional relations and a strategic reading of the audiovisual regulatory environment, according to well-known sources.
His appointment highlights his experience in journalism, public communication and institutional management as director of EITB.
The arrival of both coincides with the negotiation of the Employment Regulation Dossier (ERE), which Telefónica, with a 10% share of the state, negotiates for about 5,000 people.
the PNV sees it "as normal"
Maitane Ipiñazar, a member of parliament and secretary of the PNV EBB, has said that the party sees the signing of the former president by Telefónica "as normal" and has highlighted his "experience and experience" in the sector.
Ipiñazar has stated that he does not know "what is believed when a politician ends his political career" and recalled that "this person has every right to continue his professional career and to live and work beyond the world of politics".
"In this case, moreover, Telefónica has valued Andoni Ortuzar's years as director of EITB and the experience and wisdom that this brings to him. It must be taken with absolute normality," he stressed.
