Rai sent a letter of disciplinary complaint to Serena Bortone for the post that the journalist had written on Facebook, on 20 April, regarding the cancellation of the intervention of the writer Antonio Scurati on 25 April in the broadcast she hosted on Rai 3, What will be. “As per practice in the dispute, the journalist is asked for any justifications and clarifications”, says a statement regarding the letter that Rai sent to theHandle. Daniele Macheda, secretary of Usigrai, the main union of Rai journalists, defined the initiative as “unacceptable” and harshly criticized the CEO Roberto Sergio.
On Monday, a significant part of Rai’s journalists – including Bortone – went on strike to protest, among other things, the censorship aimed at Scurati’s monologue and the many more or less evident attempts at conditioning put into practice by managers and directors in towards journalists, with the aim, according to Usigrai, of pleasing Giorgia Meloni’s government.
