This «material (not "formal" = legal) constitution» became a relations and exchanges network between political and economic players also in audiovisual industry and in broadcasting and telecommunication system transition to the market, cleared the way to a political role of the private television tycoon, shapes laws and biases government and authorities action. In the continuity of «first» and «second» republic, the corporate set up of social and production roles in communications and a party-segmented public opinion are the main factors blocking the change and staking a claim on the growth.
