Rome, Aug. 30 (LaPresse) – “It was all written already, it was clear that they wanted to get rid of Ranucci and they succeeded.” Senator Barbara Floridia of the Five Star Movement, former resigning president of the Rai Supervisory Commission, said this in an interview with ‘Il Fatto Quotidiano’, describing Sigfrido Ranucci’s removal from hosting Report as “a decision that recalls the Bulgarian edict.” “A Supervisory Commission fully carrying out its functions could have shed light on this matter – Floridia observes – they arranged everything so that it would come to this, they had been trying for years. Meloni and CEO Rossi have destroyed a program that was successful in terms of ratings, advertising revenues and journalistic content. I would like to know how they justify this choice.” “With a Supervisory Commission fully carrying out its functions – Floridia continues – we certainly could have gotten to the bottom of this matter, we could have questioned Corsini and Rossi, asking in an institutional setting what the reasons were behind the assessment of Ranucci. One thing is certain: after what happened, there is no possibility whatsoever for us to reconstitute the commission.”
