«Serena Bortone should have been fired for what she did». Rai CEO Roberto Sergio returns to the Scurati case, Bortone does not comment

There is no peace for Serena Bortone who, after continuing the season with his team amidst a thousand difficulties What will be, also finds himself having to listen to the latest statements from Rai CEO Roberto Sergio. «Serena Bortone should have been fired for what she did and she wasn’t fired. She was not punished »Sergio said at the Innovation Festival on Sheet in Venice, referring to the social post in which Serena Bortone expressed her disappointment at the writer’s failure to participate Antonio Scurati in his broadcast on Rai3 with a monologue on April 25th which, thanks to that attempted censorship, achieved an echo and resonance that it otherwise would not have had. The issue led to the initiation of proceedings against the journalist: «The 11th of this month will represent her theses and we will evaluate, but certainly no employee of any company would be allowed to say things against the company they work for. She did this, and she was not punished.”.

Returning once again to the case, Roberto Sergio added that he had sent “a WhatsApp to Bortone” inviting her “to broadcast the monologue”, only that Scurati would have chosen not to participate in the program only because “he wasn’t paid” – this version has already been denied by Scurati himself. Not only that, during the same speech the Rai CEO denied the existence of TeleMeloni speaking rather of «TeleOppositions».
In light of all this chaos that continues to disturb the waters after a month and a half, it seems that the future of Serena Bortone in Rai, who among other things had to give up hosting Today is another day on Rai1 given the excellent ratings achieved in that range, it is far from certain, even if we will only discover Rai’s next moves when the next schedules are presented. «The schedules for next season will be presented to the management on Friday next week. So it’s news that doesn’t exist at the moment,” Sergio continued regarding the rumors about the fate of the program What will bewhich will end its run on June 16 and which, according to some, is at risk of cancellation.

Vanity Fair contacted Serena Bortone to comment on Sergio’s statements, but the presenter prefers to abstain from comments, also because of the deposition he will propose on June 11th.
