Rai, the board of directors approves the appointments but without unanimity. Protest by the union and two cdr. “Partitioning logic, blocked projects, zero stability”

by time news

The board of directors of the Rai gave the green light to name for the tested journalistic, as proposed by the CEO Carlo Away. The approval took place without unanimity because the director indicated by the M5s Alessandro Di Majo voted against on all the appointments, while the board member elected by the employees Riccardo Laganà abstained in some votes. Anyway the names of Monica Maggioni to the management of Tg1, Gennaro Sangiuliano al Tg2, Simona Sala al Tg3, Andrea Vianello al Gr Radio it’s at Radio1, Paolo Petrecca a RaiNews24, Alessandra De Stefano a RaiSport, Mario Orfeo to the in-depth department, Alessandro Casarin at the Tgr e Antonio Preziosi a RaiParlamento (the latter two are confirmations). Lagana he voted in favor of Maggioni, Sangiuliano, Vianello, Casarin, Preziosi, Orfeo and De Stefano, while he abstained on Sala and Petrecca. The board of directors emphasized in particular that the “internal resources to the company ”and that“ for the first time ”the direction of Tg1“ is entrusted to a woman ”.

The appointments, however, have aroused controversy even today. If yesterday the field was all political because of the exclusion of the M5s – first party in Parliament – from all choices with the reaction of the leader of the Movement Giuseppe Conte, today they were protesting two cdr (of the Tg3 and of RaiNews24) and the Usigrai union, the trade union within the company of viale Mazzini, all agree – albeit with different tones – in saying that it is the method that is wrong. The editorial board of Tg3 “attends the new appointments with a critical sense not of the names, but of the method used by the company”. In particular, in this case, the accent is on the wishes of the editorial staff “that they can carry out an editorial project with the necessary stability”. “A stability – specifies the CDR – that Tg3 has been missing for too long. Since 2016, Tg3 has changed five directors and none of the last three have been able to complete their mandate. Our hope is that the director Simona Sala can have the time it takes to strengthen the mission of Tg3 within the information offer of the public service “.

Then there is the CDR of RaiNews: “Once again the choices answer partition logic and the role of the government was decisive in responding to the wishes of the policy. The decision to change the leadership of Rainews24 should be read precisely in this perspective: the director was not expiring and a replacement was facilitated which appears to be motivated only by the need to make room for the wishes of a party “. The reference is to the new director Petrecca on social media has often expressed “appreciation” in particular for the positions of Giorgia Meloni.

The cdr of the all-news channel also adds that, in these waltz rounds of the directors, a chair was left empty because “the path started is interrupted on the new portal rai24.it entrusted to Vianello and now left without a guide: 14 colleagues who have just arrived after job posting and without any project guarantee. A very serious damage and an inexplicable setback “. Rainews24 – underlines the CDR – since its inception under the guidance of Roberto Morrione, has based its work on the values ​​of the anti-fascist and anti-racist constitution, has guaranteed plurality of information, direct reports on the main national and international events, the great investigations that still continue today with Spotlight. The editorial staff and all the workers of our newspaper will be vigilant to ensure that we continue on this path “.

And finally theUsigrai which attacks the RAI summit on the fact of “not having an industrial project or having lost it”. While it is good that there are three female directors, says the union, on the other hand there is the seventh director on the radio in seven years. “The division of seats on the RAI – concludes Usigrai – makes our request for a law that distances the fate of the public service away from that of the governments and political parties not postponed. At stake – says Usigrai – is not only the company perimeter but the same possibility of confirming the central role that the public service has in the restart of the country “.
