Junts' councillors at the CCMA publicly distance themselves from the issue and call for an extraordinary plenary session on TV3.

BarcelonaPolitical consensus within the Corporation is breaking down. The Generalitat's public media are governed by a governing council chosen by the different parties in Parliament—currently the PSC, ERC, and Junts—and once appointed, they usually act by approving most actions en bloc.
