Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireMILAN - Journalists at Italian state broadcaster RAI will strike next month in protest against the"suffocating control" over their work by Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government, the reporters' trade union Usigrai said on Thursday.
Undue political influence over RAI is a long-standing issue in Italy, which re-erupted most recently last weekend over the last-minute cancellation of a talkshow appearance by writer Antonio Scurati. RAI officials and Meloni denied censoring Scurati's monologue, with the company saying it had been pulled for unspecific"editorial reasons".
RAI is at the heart of Italy's spoils system, and successive governments hand out top jobs there to reward loyal proteges. Its board members, appointed by parliament and the government, are picked according to their party affiliation.
