In any publishing company in the world, the shareholder defines the mission, sets objectives, outlines constraints, sets out a code of conduct, and then, and I emphasize "then", calls the professionals he deems most suitable to govern the project. a party game that is now inexplicable at the point where we are, for Rai this rule does not seem to apply. And to think that its very nature as a public company supported by a specific tax demands particular attention.
The week that ended saw a violent controversy by authoritative exponents of the Renziano Democratic Party against the general manager. Campo Dall'Orto, tenaciously wanted by Renzi at the helm of Rai. And to facilitate its action, Renzi himself has imposed a law that reduces the role of the board of directors to simple representation and another to ensure certain resources by inserting the fee in the electricity bill.
Since 1994 with the start of the Second Republic, no one has ever had the autonomy and certainty of resources that Campo Dall'Orto has. If, despite all this, the most authoritative exponent of the Democratic Party in the parliamentary supervisory commission has felt the duty to harshly criticize the management of Rai going so far as to threaten a tender on the convention, it means that we are in the presence of a very dangerous short circuit. It is true that in the meantime the top management has had to accept criticism from Cantone for the way some recruitments have been handled, just as the labor judge has rejected the procedure chosen to bring a well-known Sky journalist to Rai, all seasoned with the resounding rejection by the television audience of the main innovations introduced by the team of the Dg.
But these are situations that can easily be attributed to a clear lack of corporate culture. Rai is a complex reality and if you try to govern it without first having understood its rules and potential, the foolishness is in the natural order of things. With a little more attention and a pinch of humility, which has not yet arrived, it will not be difficult for the new top management to reverse the trend. It remains to understand, in all this, the role of the president. Monica Maggioni is a long-time corporate journalist, she was also the director of a magazine and therefore she knows very well the rules that govern the hiring of journalists.
Why didn't you feel the need to save the General Manager and Rai from making a fool of yourself? A sign of non-sharing of the choices or simple distraction perhaps due to the profuse commitment to assume an increasingly important role within the Trirateral? Record and archive all these issues under the heading "mismanagement", not difficult to overturn for those with experience and television culture such as Campo Dall'Orto, the enormous gravity of Anzaldi's denunciation remains: the figure of the public service is missing and so we might as well put all the actors in competition for the renewal of the agreement.
But if the idea of public service is missing, and I agree and I stressed it even before the appointment of the current top management, the responsibility does not lie with Campo Dall'Orto, but with the Hon. Anzaldi and his colleagues. It is politics that must fulfill this task, availing itself of all the consultants it deems useful, but without burying its head in the sand. It is the parliamentary policy and supervisory commission that continues to "supervise" perhaps to obtain some small favour, but is careful not to dictate guidelines, to define the meaning and objectives of a public service that needs to be adapted to a society undergoing profound change.
Without this step we will continue to remain in permanent liquidity in which long-term fish dart with great pleasure, such as Carlo Freccero, a great juggler of words but above all a great builder of palimpsests, who has resumed
send messages of love to Berlusconi in the hope of being recalled to court. There is a lot of confusion in the TV sky.
