“These are not acceptable excuses. Everyone has the right to speak and if there is no time, Rai can invite them again on other occasions to give them the right space that they deserve without reading remedial statements that smack of censorship”. Elisabetta Piccolotti, deputy of the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra Italiana and wife of Nicola Fratoianni, has no doubts and comments with clear and decisive words, for example Affaritaliani.itthe statements of the Rai presenter Mara Venierwho after the case of censorship of Dargen D’Amico and Ghali on what is happening in Palestine and the Gaza Strip said that “they were free to speak, but there was no time”.
Piccolotti, the television face of the left-left who pierces the video and who has excellent communication and media skills, strikes home the blow: “Rai is becoming a place where freedom no longer exists, but there is an obsessive control of the contents even over the artists and singers. All this is absolutely illiberal and the blame lies with the RAI management and the centre-right majority who expressed it.”

In September 2006 she became the national spokesperson of the Young Communist League together with Federico Tomasello. She remained in office until the beginning of 2009, when she left the party to join Nichi Vendola’s Movement for the Left, which a few months later gave birth to Sinistra Ecologia Libertà (SEL), of which she was part of the national coordination as Communications Manager.
