Rome, 24 Aug. (LaPresse) – “There is a passage in Giuseppe Giulietti’s article, reposted by Sigfrido Ranucci on his social media accounts, which, given its seriousness, cannot be ignored. In the text by the former Usigrai secretary, former Fnsi president and former left-wing MP, the brunt of the criticism is directed at Rai and its top management, going so far as to insinuate that the organisation should have intervened and asked itself whether it should still ‘let Lavitola carry on’. This is a surprising portrayal: Rai, its senior management and, inevitably, all the organisation’s staff find themselves in the firing line. But what about Lavitola? The question is unavoidable, especially given that Valter Lavitola is identified by investigators as the alleged instigator of the attack and has admitted to having commissioned it.” This is stated in a press release from Unirai Figec, which emphasises that “it does not accept that Rai should be transformed, through insinuations and allusions, from a company that is the victim of events and must establish the facts into a pariah. When Rai is placed under scrutiny, the reputation of the thousands of workers who ensure the public service every day is also damaged. For this reason, Unirai Figec distances itself from the extremely serious allegations put forward by Ranucci and calls on Rai to resolutely defend its own reputation and that of its employees. We also call on the relevant corporate bodies to verify whether such conduct is compatible with the Rai Code of Ethics, with the obligations associated with the role held, and with the principles of the public service. Rai is not the enemy. Rai is the people who work there.”
