South Wales Central Conservative MS Andrew RT Davies has backed calls for a review into the relationship between BBC Wales and Plaid Cymru separatists.
Links between the two have come under scrutiny in recent days, following allegations of political bias against the corporation.
BBC Wales appointed former Plaid Chief Executive Rhuanedd Richards as its Director of Programming in 2021, an editorial role.
The separatists’ leader Rhun ap Iorwerth is also a former BBC Wales newsreader.
Mr Davies said:
“BBC Wales’ decision to appoint Plaid Cymru separatists’ former chief executive as its Director obviously raises questions.
“This is a senior editorial role – it would be the equivalent of appointing Alistair Campbell as Director General.
“We need a review into the relationship between BBC Wales and Plaid Cymru separatists, and I’m happy to support such calls.”
