Rai, storm over De Martino’s author. Silence from the left over insults to Meloni and daughter –

There is a furore over the social commentary of Rai author Riccardo Cassini. Writer of many programs including those with Stefano De Martino, and therefore Affari Tuoi. In a story published on Instagram and then removed, as revealed by , Cassini commented on the visit to Beijing of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: “The mother of fascists is always in China”. The phrase, which also involves his daughter Ginevra, has provoked indignant reactions from the exponents of Fratelli d’Italia.

“Rai is so shielded by the right that the long-time author Riccardo Cassini, paid by all citizens, has the right to insult Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her daughter from his Facebook wall with the caption: ‘The mother of fascists is always in China’. Now, while everyone is free to think as they wish, if you are an author of state television and know the rules of public service, you should avoid certain expressions. Otherwise the mandatory guarantee of neutrality is lacking”, declares the vice president of the Chamber of Deputies Fabio Rampelli of FdI. “Perhaps an authorial modernization would be more useful than ever, indeed indispensable, given that governments, majorities and governance of Rai are changing, but the music always remains the same. Terrible style animated by pedestrian ideological prejudice!”.

Andrea Delmastro delle Vedove, MP and Undersecretary of Justice, states that “Cassini vomits bile” against the Prime Minister: “Apart from the authoritative indirect confirmation of the original and timeless adage that says that the mother of idiots is always pregnant, will anyone still dare to talk about Telemeloni, when ‘professionals’ of the public service indulge in such dishonorable disclaimers born of hatred and rancor?”. For Senator Ester Mieli, member of the Rai Supervisory Commission, Cassini’s post “is unheard of such verbal violence even towards a child who does not deserve all this. We hope that the left will distance itself from these words”. As expected, the left that gets indignant every now and then but only when it is convenient, is silent on the insults to Meloni and her daughter. From the PD and the other parties, dead silence.
