The intervention yesterday on the stage of the programmatic conference of the Brothers of Italy held by Gennaro Sangiuliano, director of Tg2, has become a coincidence. Italia viva and Pd ask for the intervention of the RAI top management for an urgent clarification.
“I find the political meeting of the director of Tg2 Sangiuliano at the FDI conference in Milan serious and absolutely inappropriate – says Senator Valeria Fedeli, leader of the Democratic Party in the Rai Supervisory Commission -. It has never happened that a director of Tg Rai gave a speech at a party convention. According to Rai rules, who authorized it? We need an urgent clarification and the intervention of the RAI top management ».
FdI deputy Giovanni Donzelli replied immediately: «Faithful let me understand: can Sangiuliano attend the Festa dell’Unità to present Landini’s book, by Matteo Renzi, but not at a Fratelli d’Italia event? Do you really want to punish journalists only if they participate in opposition initiatives? ».
Michele Anzaldi of Italia Viva and secretary of the Rai Supervisory Commission writes on Facebook: “The meeting of the director of Tg2 Gennaro Sangiuliano at the convention of the Brothers of Italy in Milan represents an unprecedented case: never had a director of a Rai news channel been on stage of a party conference for a political intervention, even the very intervention called to launch the immediately following speech by the leader Giorgia Meloni. How could the CEO Fuortes authorize such a humiliation of the public service function? How was it possible to endorse an act of such contempt and arrogance towards the citizens who pay the fee? ”.
Carlo Calenda, the leader of Action, replies: «Without precedent, I would say no. Think Campo Dall’Orto alla Leopolda. Come on, let’s not double standards. It does not do well ».
