Rai, majority deserts the vote on the presidency. The anger of the opposition: “Supervision paralyzed”

Another black smoke in the Supervisory Commission convened this morning for the vote on Simona Agnes as president of Rai. The centre-right in fact deserted the session. Only opposition parliamentarians present. Among these: Bevilacqua, Furlan, Graziano, Bakkali, Musolino and Boschi. They attack: “It is very serious that Rai Supervision has been blocked for almost two months. The presidents of the House and Senate should intervene.”

Pd, IV and Avs raised the issue of RAI supervision in the Chamber. “For the third time in a row, the majority does not show up to vote on the opinion on the presidency of Rai, it is the first time something like this has happened – he said Stefano Grazianoof the Democratic Party – There is not an Aventine but a Colle Oppio of the majority that blocks the Supervision to force someone from the minority to vote for the president designated by the majority. We need to concern the presidents of the Chambers about a very serious fact.”

Graziano also underlined the “political fact: the Aventine majority blocks the parliamentary institution, they don’t even let us hold hearings. A truly serious situation. After having occupied Rai and made Telemeloni they want to make it fail”. Along the same lines, Maria Elena Boschi, from Iv: “For almost two months we have been in a phase of total inoperability of the Surveillance due to the exclusive responsibility of the majority out of revenge or spite against whom we don’t know, because it is the majority that is incapable of electing the president. The majority prevents the opposition from carrying out their supervisory role, it is very serious, unacceptable.”

Also Filiberto Zarattiof Avs, spoke of “an unacceptable situation. Such an important body cannot be kept blocked just because the majority has not decided its opinion on the president of Rai”. The next meeting has been set for Wednesday 27 November at 08.30.
