Sigfrido Ranucci entered the stage in Parma to a long applause, with much of the audience standing to welcome the journalist removed from presenting Report.
I have not yet rejected the proposals Rai has made to me. I have 30 days.
Ranucci appeared at the Cubo venue on Via Spezia for a conversation with journalist Luca Sommi as part of the โInvito allโascoltoโ festival. The packed audience heard him discuss his future at Rai, the latest news surrounding Report and the Lavitola case.
There is also the possibility of reinstatement, so we could have a four-person, five-person or six-person presentation team.

It is not on the agenda now. If they throw me out of Rai, I will have to continue my civic commitment to press freedom, which is on no politician's agenda. Without press freedom, it is impossible to understand the monstrous thing governing us.
