Jaume Roures condemned that the group Mediaprothe president of which he was fired last Friday, “censored” a statement he tried to make to the company’s employees that same day, after refusing to sign a public statement from management.

Rures, in a statement to RAC1, assured this Monday that the current president of Mediapro, Tacho Benet, forbade him to say goodbye in writing from his employees with the argument that “internal channels cannot be used for inconvenient things.”

Consequently, Roures, who founded Mediapro with Benet, addressed the employees this Sunday via his personal email and informed them of his dissatisfaction with this “censorship.”

“I didn’t want to sign the statement that the company made because it said that I was ‘disassociating myself,’ when in fact it was the majority partner who decided to relieve me of responsibility,” he explained.

Consequently, the founder and former president of Mediapro sent another statement to employees, in which between the lines he expresses his differences with the current owners of the company.

“It is important that Mediapro continues to prioritize freedom, creativity and constant challenge,” he says, “as it is not only a company with a strong financial foundation, but also a cultural instrument of the first magnitude that should not be lost.”

Rures announced that he plans to sell his remaining shares in Mediapro and is stepping down as another member of the board of directors, as the company has offered him.
