Politics and Rai, an indestructible combination. With the center-right’s victory in the September 25 political elections, Giorgia Meloni and the Brothers of Italy have a plan for the upcoming public TV nominations, but fear claims from Lega and Forza Italia.
According to a history of “The messenger“, Giampaolo Rossi, former member of the Board of Directors, assumes that Fratelli d’Italia will be the king of the majority on the names to be sent or kept in Viale Mazzini and Saxa Rubra even if” the choices and appointments in The news will certainly be result of a confrontation and agreement between the center-right allies and also with the opposition”.
The puzzle will only be solved in early 2023, when the first changes will take place. We read in the Roman diary: “The new director of Tg1 will certainly be Gennaro Sangiuliano. The FdI has very high esteem for Monica Maggioni, current news director, so no one points to her defenestration. If and when the rotation process matures, the Melonian party will be interested in giving Maggioni a significant role in Rai, which it considers an added value and one of the company’s excellences. The names that FdI will not ignore for an important editorial direction are two: Nicola Rao, current deputy director of Tg1, and Paolo Petrecca, now director of RaiNews”.
For Tg2, it is assumed that Angela Mariella (director of Isoradio) or Roberto Packages (co-director of TgR) would be in the Lega quota, while Mario Orfeo (PD) would remain in Tg3 and the M5s could have Giuseppe Carboni in the radio newspaper if Antonio Preziosi (near Forza Italia) remained with RaiParlamento. The front row seats are different: Stefano Coletta (PD) would retain primetime direction, while Lega, as far as genres go, could have Fabrizio Zappi, as RaiFiction’s next number one, and Francesco Giorgino should become the director. However, no decision on CEO Carlo Fuortes who has a contract until 2024.
