«I have never seen what happened to Che Sara in my entire working life. They should have done a public reconstruction and taken action for two weeks. I would like this story to end with firm words.” Serena Bortone stated this when speaking about the Scurati case at the Foreign Press press conference. «The contract – the presenter explained to the assembled journalists – was closed on the Monday before the broadcast for 1500 euros gross, then Scurati gave us the text of his speech and I forwarded it to my superior, as normally happens. At 4.30pm on Friday the writing office told us that the contract had been cancelled. It had never happened that a contract was canceled from above. Fake reasons are given, such as an alleged promotion on Netflix. I get on the phone, write emails, send messages until late at night to multiple managers, asking what I should say to a Strega Award like Scurati. Nobody answered me. The next morning I was forced to call Scurati, who told me, apparently indignant, that I could read his text.”
Ranucci: «The situation in the company has worsened in the last year»
«Since the approval of the Renzi law onwards, the situation in Rai has worsened. It has gotten worse especially in the last year: I don’t remember a prime minister who has defined a public service investigation as a lynching, such as the one on the immigration agreement with Albania. The paradox is that while the prime minister defined it as a lynching, two polls in Albania believed that the investigation was truthful”, declared the presenter of Report, Sigfrido Ranucci. Today Rai journalists called a 24-hour strike.
