Serena Bortone yes or Serena Bortone no? A month and a half later, the controversy over the speech that the writer Antonio Scurati he should have pronounced it live on television during Serena Bortone’s program ‘What will be’ on Raitre in view of the anniversary of 25 April, but which was then not read. Thus triggering a series of controversies.
And this time the one making the push is none other than the CEO of Rai, Roberto Sergio. Who chooses not to be subtle and during a chat with Francesco Merlo at the Innovation Festival organized by Il Foglio in Venice he states: “Bortone should have been fired for what she did and instead she was not punished. In no company would she allowed to make a post against the company he works for. Now on June 11th he will have the opportunity to clarify and we will make a decision. There was no censorship. There has been a great reversal of reality on the matter.”
It should be remembered that in any case Serena Bortone has one dispute letter disciplinary from the heads of state television had arrived the day after the post on Instagram in which the presenter announced that Antonio Scurati’s intervention had been “cancelled by Rai”. “As you may have read in the press release, a monologue by Antonio Scurati on April 25th was scheduled for this evening’s episode of “What will be”. I learned last night, with dismay, and by pure chance, that Scurati’s contract had been canceled I haven’t been able to get any plausible explanations. 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 Raitre I couldn’t get this explanation either” Serena Bortone wrote on Instagram.
“As per the practice in the dispute, the journalist is asked for any justifications and clarifications” Rai wrote in the letter of dispute that it sent to the journalist and presenter.
Roberto Sergio then responded to those who accuse Rai of having become “TeleMeloni”: “TeleMeloni? More than anything they should call us TeleOpposizione. Never before in my management has there been space for the opposition, while the time for the Prime Minister has been reduced”.
