Rome, 2 July (LaPresse) – “As members of the opposition within the Parliamentary Supervisory Committee for Rai, we have all tendered our resignations with immediate effect. This is a necessary political act, resulting from the deadlock that for months has prevented the Committee from fulfilling its oversight role, due to internal divisions within the ruling coalition and a management style that has effectively rendered its functions meaningless. This decision was reached following repeated, unheeded appeals to the Speakers of the Chambers, Ignazio La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana, and despite the call by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, for the full functioning of Parliament’s oversight bodies.” This is stated in a joint statement signed by the now former opposition group leaders on the Rai Supervisory Committee: Stefano Graziano (PD), Dario Carotenuto (M5S), Angelo Bonelli and Giuseppe De Cristofaro (AVS), and Maria Elena Boschi (IV).
