“But did Gennaro Sangiuliano really ask for an intervention on the head of the Rai structure, Giovanni Anversa, for the imitation that Virginia Raffaele made of the conductor dear to the right, Beatrice Venezi, as Repubblica writes today? It’s not enough for him to collect daily fools and leading a team that every day at the Ministry of Culture embarrasses the institutions of the “nation” with the performances of its undersecretary Vittorio Sgarbi, but also of the less well-known Gianmarco Mazzi?”. Thus the group leaders of the 5 Star Movement in the culture commission of the Chamber and the Senate Antonio Caso and Luca Pirondini.
“Tell us Sangiuliano if he really put pressure on Rai to limit the freedom of satire, one of the few lifelines from this government that every day humiliates the culture and image of our country abroad. If so, he should at least be ashamed. Virginia Raffaele, who is an extraordinary and talented artist, deserves our sympathy and the invitation to continue with her head held high with her show without worrying about similar nonsense”, he concludes.
The president of the Rai Supervisory Commission Barbara Floridia also intervenes: “The pressure from politicians on the public service is intolerable – she states -, even more so if it is aimed at attacking the freedom of satire. Solidarity with Virginia Raffaele and I hope that Sangiuliano denies this what the newspapers say.”
