“This rhetoric of civil society in opposition to the party (as if the Democratic Party was the uncivil society) to me is unbearable.” Matteo Renzi responds to readers in his weekly column on “Unity” and defends the choice of the newly elected councilors on the board of RAI. Now distant era of the chorus rottamatore “outside parties by Rai”, the Prime Minister says he has no doubt that his spin doctor Guelph Guelph , the former deputy culture Rita Borioni and the former secretary of the journalists union FNSI Franco Siddi, but also the general manager Antonio Campo Dall’Orto (already present Fixed Leopolda) is a good idea “and will work better than their predecessors.” Who cares if the Borioni, interviewed by the messenger said “digital? Satellite? I do not know, I deal with culture “, or if many of them know little or nothing about television. After much controversy from many quarters for the subdivision parties that have divided once again the armchairs, the Prime Minister will appeal to Democratic Party activists who write newspaper recently returned to newsstands. “It’s not that if one has never joined a party is civil society and instead who does the militant to the Unity party or has a card in his pocket is uncivilized.”

The comparison that Renzi is annoyed with his predecessor Pier Luigi Bersani . In 2013 in fact, when it was the turn to indicate the names of the Democratic Party for the RAI board of directors, the former leader had summoned associations and civil society because they gave their opinion. Those consultations were born nominations of Gherardo Colombo and Benedetta Tobagi . A method to Bersani that was not followed by Renzi and indeed the Secretary has repeatedly condemned. “For years,” says the president of the Council of Unity, “even our leaders have passed this message, even in the Board of RAI where choices are non-experts of communication that had the great merit to be supported by movements and associations of civil society. I open a parenthesis: are the secretary of the largest European political party: I’m not ashamed of my people, right? Either we continue with the mechanism of the past so that those who come from the movements and the girotondi is by definition better than those who are in circles or take the card? But we really want to continue laying the cross on those whose only crime is to enroll in a political party ? “.

The accusation came from many quarters is that the names elected by the Democratic Party in recent days have not experiences from the world of television and therefore can not live up to the assignment. “I believe that the three names,” said the secretary Pd, “are capable professionals in the world of communication, information, culture. What then are the three main priorities for the Council of Directors of Rai. They will do better than their predecessors. This on the opposite party but is especially true for the government. We have shown for the first time in the recent history of Rai top figures who are both from television: Monica Maggioni , journalist, and Antonio Campo Dall’Orto , managers of companies television also internationally. First of all is competence, then. And Rai must be in a position not only to be healed on the accounts, as has been done, but also to be relaunched on the content “.
