However, the law itself limits this delegation; the Board cannot delegate its powers in matters related to the appointment of first-level personnel, to economic-budgetary matters, to internal control bodies, those related to the fundamental right of Article 20.3 of the Constitution or the proposal to remove a member of the Board.

[5] The Radio and Television of State Ownership Act includes this possibility, although in its article 22 it prohibits that the Chair of the Corporation that has been removed, along with the rest of the Board, due to a bad economic management may occupy this position.

In 2018, a reform was introduced in the form of the election of the chair, which requires that if after fifteen days, there were still not enough majorities to appoint the Board members, the Government shall propose a sole provisional administrator to assume the powers of both the Board and the Chair of the Corporation with the same previous procedure.

[4] This exceptional clause was first used on 27 July 2018, naming Rosa María Mateo as sole administrator with 180 votes in favor of the 350 possible.

[6] As such, Mateo assumed all the powers of the chairship and the Board of Directors until the appointment of a new Chair on 26 March 2021.
