Detto Done suspended by Rai after the case of the embarrassing tutorial for shopping. Salini: “Very serious episode”. The case ends up in the Supervision

No sooner said than done was suspended by Rai. The decision – according to what theAnsa – was taken by the managing director Fabrizio Salini, waiting for a program to be studied that reflects an editorial line adequate to the message of the public service. Salini had unapologetically commented on the case of the so-called tutorial for “shopping in a sexy way“, Announcing an investigation “To ascertain responsibility”. It is “a very serious episode, which has nothing to do with the spirit of the Public Service and with the editorial line of this Rai” he said in the afternoon. Today’s episode of the program conducted by Rai2 from Bianca Guaccero it did not air because – they explain from Viale Mazzini – it was registered and it would not have been possible to send any message of apology about the incident.

Previously he was the director of Rai2 Ludovico Di Meo to apologize. “No sooner said than done it is a program that has the only aspiration, if possible, to entertain – he said – The program yesterday ran into a very serious error, certainly not wanted, for which I first apologize to the viewers and viewers ”. These are the words of Di Meo, who continues: “Although it was not the intention to validate negative female stereotypes – that everyone agrees to blame and condemn – the ironic charge was overestimated in spite of a key that was clearly offensive. It will be a serious commitment of the network to investigate the incident and the responsibilities, e ensure that this does not happen again in the future: it would be contrary to the spirit of the program and to the civil values ​​of the presenter, the authors, and Rai2 ″.

And the case as predictable ends at Rai Parliamentary Supervisory Committee which – writes theAdnKronos – has already written to the president Marcello Foa and to the ad Fabrizio Salini. Today the bureau of the commission, accepting a proposal from the president Alberto Barachini, He has decided unanimously to send a letter to the top management of Rai in which the provisions of the Rai-Mise Service Agreement were highlighted and condemned the stereotypes used in the Rai2 broadcast on women. On this occasion, the hypothesis was also put forward to call the director of the Di Meo network to hear.

On the issue in the afternoon, the Undersecretary to the Prime Minister with responsibility for publishing Andrea Martella, contacted on the phone byAnsa: “The Rai2 program tutorial on how to take a trolley to the supermarket? Perhaps a tutorial would be needed not on how to shop but on how to do public service without trampling on the value and history of Rai ”. Among those who ask for explanations for what went on air there is also the Rai councilor Rita Borioni: “Yesterday No sooner said than done, inter alia on the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, a winking skit, useless and vulgar who proposed an unspeakable model of woman. That’s enough! The immediate intervention of the Rai president is needed and of the CEO, to whom I then ask if this is the chosen editorial line, which, in fact, is the opposite of what the Rai-Mise Contract asks of the Public Service ”.

The point is that this latest incident becomes material to rekindle the pressing del Pd for the change of management of the company in Viale Mazzini. Translated: to replace the chief executive officer Salini. “In recent days – says the Democratic deputy leader Michele Bordo – the public service has repeatedly shown a lack of editorial guidance, if not worse, sloppiness, with very serious implications on the obligations of the service contract. Unfortunately, this is not a single episode but an approach by the top management light years away from what the public service, which the largest cultural company in the country, should have while respecting the dignity of women and viewers in general. We ask ourselves what still needs to happen to put an end to the experience of the current management of Rai, which is now at an end, which is bankrupt from the point of view of governance, account management, audience ratings and editorial content “.
