"The Democratic Party talked about the subdivision of Rai, after what Renzi did. It's really ridiculous. Quiet. Let's say that their behavior convinced us to vote Marcello Foa president of Rai, "said the head of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni ." I did not share – he added – Foa's method of choice, it has little to do with change. But being a sovereignist in Italy is not a crime. "

"We will not be able to vote for the President Rai's candidate indicated by the government. We would have liked to follow a different method ", repeats Antonio Tajani vice-president of Forza Italia, meeting the press in Mestre (Venice)." The law – it specifies – foresees that it is not the government that decides who is the president of the RAI, but it is parliament through the supervisory committee where a qualified majority is required. "The vice president of Fi reiterates that he was "disappointed with the method." There can be no impositions, choices must always be shared, the center must be a family where choices are shared, we are sorry – he observes – but we are forced to vote no, the rules must be respected both within the center and in the institutions. "

The Democratic Party renews the call to the opposition:" I hope that all oppositions reject the provocation that the majority set up on Rai with the mini board Friday, this is not a guarantee of the presidency but a provocation, "says the Secretary of State Maurizio Martina . "You can have different opinions – said Martina – on the profiles, but do not provoke it.I hope that in the monitoring committee all oppositions express their not strong and clear."

On the front M5S is the president of the House Roberto Fico who, without taking sides against Foa, criticizes the law that allowed to name it: "The law of the former prime minister, voted in Parliament, is a law that I do not like. It's a law that subjects Rai to the government anyway. If the CEO and the President choose it, the government, beyond any government, is a way of legislating that I do not like. I fought and in fact I had proposed another type of law. Beyond the merit of choice – he added – it is precisely the way to indicate the law that I do not like. "
