The assembly of the Cdr of Tgr, meeting online today, contests “the inappropriateness of some recent appointments of the director, Alessandro Casarin. One, in particular, goes against a fundamental principle for us: the separation of the political career from the journalistic one. Who leaves the editorial offices to stand as a candidate and represent a party or movement, he cannot return to Rai and be promoted to editor-in-chief after less than two months, as happened. The same goes for promotions: there cannot be family ties – continues the assembly document of the Cdr – with those who are part of the management of the newspaper because, also in this case, it is the authority of the Tgr that loses out and, furthermore, family ties in the different levels of responsibility in the same newspaper can ‘interfere or influence each other’s work performance’ , as the company itself, moreover, fears the risk. It is a form of respect that this management – and also the top management of Rai – owes to the citizens, even before the regional editorial offices, who have expressed themselves clearly by completely rejecting twice the director’s editorial plan. Therefore, if there is no repentance regarding these vulnus, the assembly of the Cdr of the Trg proclaims 3 days of ‘signature strike’ on the days of 4, 5 and 6 October and reading of the press release on air in all editions”, they conclude the Cdr of the Tgr.
