The use of "we", phrases such as "Let's see how our party is doing..." and "In recent years there have been many exponents of the left who have met here in Atreju, now there are those who prefer to think about how get dressed", a clear dig at Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein.
Controversy over the "moderation" intervention of Paolo Corsini, journalist and director of Rai's In-depth analysis during Atreju, the party of Fratelli d'Italia, Giorgia Meloni's party, taking place in Rome.
It was first of all the Democratic Party that pointed the finger at the impartiality of the journalist and employee of the public TV which had apparently failed, giving way to "militancy".
«His programs are going badly and instead of working at Rai to try to recover, what does he do? It's up to Atreju not to simply act as host but to attack Schlein. We have never seen a RAI director who attacks the leader of the opposing party on a party initiative as if she were a militant. Unacceptable. Apologize or resign", thundered the members of the Rai Supervisory Commission. But criticism also came from the M5S.
«I believe that a public service journalist must always guarantee an equidistant attitude, regardless of the context in which he operates», was the comment of Rai president Marinella Soldi.
For his part, Corsini then explained: «When you extrapolate words from the context in which they were expressed, you always run the risk of lending yourself to easy criticism and exploitation. Yesterday I was invited to moderate the introductory debate of an event which, in recent days, presents to the public a parterre of guests and personalities of the highest level. In this context, I am truly sorry that some of my sentences have generated misunderstandings."
