The center-right rally broadcast live from Catania on Rainews, in support of mayoral candidate Enrico Trantino, becomes a coincidence.
All the leaders of the center-right were lined up on the stage with the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: Matteo Salvini, Antonio Tajani, Maurizio Schillaci, Nello Musumeci and the leader of Noi Moderati Maurizio Lupi. In short, only Silvio Berlusconi was missing, still recovering after the long hospitalization at San Raffaele.
A final rush that ended up in the Rai Supervision Commission due to its media coverage: "I learn from the reports of various parliamentary groups that the rally organized by the center-right in support of the candidate for mayor of Catania would be broadcast live on RaiNews24", he announced the president of the Rai Supervisory Commission, Barbara Floridia (M5s).
Who adds: « The Supervisory Commission will evaluate this case with extreme attention for all the profiles of competence. An important violation of the level playing field and pluralism could emerge that the public service absolutely cannot afford".
Also from Usigrai, the union of Rai journalists, there is "strong concern about what happened last night on Rainews24". «The public service all-news channel broadcast the complete interview with the Prime Minister at the Trento economics festival and the closing rally of the centre-right's electoral campaign in Sicily, ignoring the initiatives of the other political forces which were scheduled at the same time in other cities ".
«The president of the Parliamentary Supervisory Commission did well in announcing that she will evaluate what happened – the note continues – we also formally ask Agcom if the choice of director Petrecca reflects the principles of balance, pluralism, completeness and impartiality according to which Rai is required to shape its offer . If anyone thinks that the change of top management, the recent round of appointments, can guarantee free hands to transform public service into government service, they are on the wrong track. If these are the pluralism and meritocracy that President Meloni has in mind also for Rai, Usigrai is ready to take action in all locations and with any form for compliance with the service contract and its founding principles.
