Rai appointments, M5S against Renzi: “Nothing blitz in view of the referendum” – Il Giornale

Politics fibrillation ahead of the referendum this autumn, which will decide the fate of the country and, above all, those of the Renzi government. And in such a delicate situation the role of information is crucial. In this regard, the president of the RAI Vigilance Commission, Roberto Fico (M5S), puts his hands back and warned the government: “Ahead of a crucial referendum campaign for democracy – writes on Facebook – not proceed to appoint editors in Chief deployed for one or the other field. Until now the data speak for themselves, the Yes is rampant. we must ward off any attempt at authoritarian blitz “.

Chapter salaries. If the roof is not respected, says Fico, “the only ones responsible are Renzi and the majority. Not only have they done nothing to reintroduce the limit, now even pretend to get angry. They are the quintessential ‘ hypocrisy “.

“Moreover – pursues Fico – the general director of RAI in the Supervisory Board has been very clear on this point, stating that it had negotiated their salaries but had accepted the proposal that had been made. For this will ask that those responsible for the government, Renzi in the first place, and Padoan, are in the Supervisory Board to seek full clarity on the issue and on the overruns of the roof to salaries. “

” but what kind of authoritarian blitz raves Fico? – asks the senator of the Democratic Party Francesco Verducci, Vice President of the Supervisory Committee Rai -. but what kind of rampant campaign for the Yes raves? reread the data, and will be able to check the balance between the forces policies in information Rai. and above all stop interfering in the appointments, it is for the Rai making autonomy and certainly not him. Fico – continues Verducci – has an attitude reminiscent of ‘capataz’ of the first Republic. But the reform of ‘governance’ that we wanted that time has erased it, with all due respect to Fig. I expect instead by company leaders to live up to what is always said in these months: that the appointments are made and people are chosen on the basis of projects and plans, and not vice versa. When there will be new appointments, in particular in the field of information – concludes Verducci – so I expect they’re in the presentation of a clear plan, not divorced from it or isolated. “
