A post that gives rise to a case. Serena Bortonepresenter of What will besays on Instagram: «As you will have read in the press release, in this evening’s episode of What will be a monologue was expected Antonio Scurati on the 25 April. I learned last night, with dismay, and by pure chance, that Scurati’s contract had been cancelled. I couldn’t get any plausible explanations. But first of all I owe it to Scurati, with whom I obviously just spoke on the phone, and to you viewers, the explanation of why they won’t see the writer on air on my program on Raitre tonight. The problem is that I couldn’t get this explanation either.”
«We learned this morning that from tonight’s episode of What will be, the program hosted in prime time by Serena Bortone on Rai3, the scheduled monologue by Antonio Scurati on April 25th has been cancelled. All this for a direct intervention by the Rai management a few hours after the broadcast, without any communication to the author and presenter of the program. This is a very serious case of censorship against Scurati. It is a very serious case of violation of the editorial autonomy of a program, as well as a disturbing de facto intimidation towards the author and presenter Serena Bortone, the authors of the program, and by extension all the Rai authors. The Rai President should intervene with the CEO and Director to clarify this matter. We are in the presence of a very serious act of censorship and abuse, which cannot be accepted.” Thus in a note the Democratic Party Senator Francesco Verducci, member of the Rai Supervisory Commission.
