And now Sigfrido Ranucci, what will he do? After the Lavitola case, his removal from Report, and the insults directed at his successors Giulia Presutti and Daniele Piervincenzi, will the journalist really dive into politics (as his friend Valter wanted)? This is discussed on 4 di Sera, on Rete 4.
“We have seen characters like Salis enter politics, not the one from Genoa, but the other one,” suggests Alessandro Sallusti, director of Libero, guest of Paolo Del Debbio in the studio. “We have seen Sumahoro enter politics, we have seen characters enter politics whom the left, that kind of left, we are talking about the left of Fratoianni and Bonelli to be clear, had elected as heroes, fantastic people. And I believe Ranucci is following the same path. So I wouldn’t rule it out.”

Matteo Pucciarelli of Repubblica agrees on one point: “I think Ranucci could also enter politics as many journalists, many female journalists, many people from many different professions have done.” Then the attack: “I also think that the fact that the right, right-wing politics, has somehow targeted him is favoring him in this plan, because we cannot pretend it is not so, that is, Ranucci has been made a target, I do not want to get into the dynamics of the mistakes he may have made, the out-of-context things he may have said, because here we can talk about that freely. On this we must be secular, but I also believe we cannot pretend not to understand that behind this Ranucci affair there was a political plan to hit not so much and not only Ranucci, but that kind of journalism that anyway annoys not only politics from my point of view, but also the economic powers of this country.”
The theme of the big conspiracy also returns in the words of Francesco Silvestri, deputy of the Five Star Movement: “If Ranucci could choose right now he would want to continue doing investigative journalism and the Ranucci issue does not particularly interest me for Ranucci but it interests me for the defense of Report which these days they are making pass as a show that has always harmed the right. I remember that Report has scrutinized everyone, it made a party like Italy of Values disappear which was not on the right, it conducted an investigation on Renzi on the highway which was not right-wing, so it has always disturbed everyone. What interests me a lot is the safeguarding of Report. I know that Ranucci has never had dialogues with the Five Star Movement in this sense so this I can say, I believe President Conte has already said it too, but I start again from his first statement: Ranucci and Vannacci at this moment in my opinion are not the most important things in this country.”
