“The political judgment is that faced with a Europe that asks us to remove political control, the Meloni government increasingly occupies the spaces of public and also private information.” The guest of Giuseppe Conte on In Onda, on La7, predictably (and expectedly) turns into an attack on the center-right and a staunch defense of Sigfrido Ranucci. After all, the former prime minister, interviewed by the accommodating Marianna Aprile and Luca Telese, is still the leader of the Five Star Movement, the party closest to the now former host of Report overwhelmed by the scandal of the attack against him, whose mastermind would be his own friend Valter Lavitola.

“The result is that today 90% of public and private information is controlled by this government directly and indirectly, or in any case by this majority, and especially the public radio and television service the matter is now really very very delicate because with the schedules they have announced they have prearranged any space in order to build a setup for election campaigns,” is Conte’s bold thesis.
According to the former prime minister, however, “there was still obviously the investigative space available, Report, which has always annoyed all politicians. The result instead is that now they have managed to destroy Rai’s flagship product thanks to the Meloni edict. It is a shame because it is a completely arbitrary decision. At this moment. According to the investigations, we have a confirmed victim who would be Sigfrido Ranucci, and we have Rai’s top management who made a decision to destroy a program.”
“I just want to say that Rai’s top management, who so far have shown maximum incompetence, have been able to destroy the highest-rated product, and moreover we are also talking about a particular product, namely investigative television journalism, which has very rare spaces, requires a lot of effort and energy, months and months of work, professionalism and competence that today is destroyed. And so it is also a serious financial damage as well as a damage to the quality of our information, therefore to our democracy,” Conte emphasizes, continuing: the counselors “who are there appointed, indicated by the opposition, obviously within a Rai board of directors, who also have direct control functions over the resolutions, over the determinations that are made, were obviously already in the minority, will evaluate what to do.”
So the head of the Five Stars assures: “Ranucci in politics? This news leaked to try to weaken his professional figure. As far as I am concerned, neither I nor anyone in the Movement has ever talked to him about this.”
