It should be noted that the conflict between the management of Rai and the parties “Brothers of Italy” and “League” erupted in September last year, when the right was indignant at the speech of a French philosopher who criticized their politics on a talk show. Even then, Fuortes was threatened with dismissal. However, according to him, with the coming to power of the government of Georgie Meloni, the situation worsened: those in charge tried to change the editorial line and the distribution schedule.
Disagreeing with the new “orders”, Fuortes voluntarily left the position. In his place, the authorities immediately appointed a certain Roberto Sergio. Colleagues will remember the new leader for his fickle opinions, which “change with the wind” – depending on who is running the country. Another protege of the “brothers” – Giampaolo Rossi – received the chair of general director of the company. The distribution of leadership positions among pro-government workers in the editorial is seen as a move to “change the narrative to suit their way of thinking and erase anti-fascist traces from the country.”
Meanwhile, in addition to company executives, leftist talk show host Fabio Fazio, as well as fellow comedian Luciana Littizzetto, who has openly criticized the Tories, have left. “Every change of power means a change of leadership at Rai,” an unnamed company official told the Guardian. However, according to him, earlier this process took place “in a courteous manner”, and now – “without mercy”.
