A group of Rai employees contested the words that CEO Roberto Sergio read in the statement read to Mara Venier.
A group of Rai employees he wanted to distance himself from declarations of solidarity towards Israel, chosen as a “response” to Ghali's appeal for peace and a stop to the genocide in Palestine. The words were read by the Rai CEO Roberto Sergio during the last episode of Sunday Inthrough the voice of the presenter, Mara Venier.
On Domenica In, on that occasion, the censorship case was unleashed, or rather, the case of “reverse” aggression. The words of peace of Ghali (and other singers in Sanremo) would have been accused of inciting hatred. A truly paradoxical accusation.
In a statement, men and women employed in the public service underline theone-sidedness of the message spread by the Rai CEO during that occasion. The response to Ghali's words on the Sanremo stage regarding the conflict in the Middle East they did not find a slice of the company in agreement with what was done and said.
Ghali, who placed fourth, had firmly called for “Stop the genocide” and had openly communicated his support for Palestine.
The communicated of public service workers begins directly and without hiding too much. “We are employees of Rai” and on with the criticism of the method and content of Roberto Sergio's words conveyed through Mara Venier to Sunday In.
Rai employees contest the use of company channels for spread personal opinions of the CEO and his political positions. These words, according to the statement, do not represent the values of the company or its employees.
In the “Rai press release” (for obvious reasons, unofficial) some workers firmly dissociate themselves from the positions expressed in the statement drawn up by CEO Sergio:
We believe that the company concessionaire of the Italian public radio and television service must have the strength and dignity to be independent from the moods of single individuals, and not ready to kneel to Israeli diplomacy for a few sentences pronounced by a group of two artists during the Festival of Sanremo. Phrases we claim.
Although we share the horror at the death of the Israeli civilian population, we reiterate our non-involvement in the positions of Dr. Roberto Sergio. We strongly contest the one-sidedness of the statement, which completely omitted the disproportion in the conflict, the suffering of the population of Gaza and the violence systematically suffered by Palestinians in the occupied territories in the West Bank. Stop the genocide. Cease fire now.
