Unfortunately, this is not a new story: Italy and censorship, such a famous union!
Every now and then, there're people trying to put a gag on journalists' mouth there.
Yesterday night, the talk show Ballarò was planned in the tv program schedule of RaiTre, as every week. But, surprisingly, it didn't go on the air. The change was due to the Rai's board decision to declare the closure of all information shows of the public service from now until the regional elections occurring on the 28th-29th March. This measure comes from the law known as par condicio which was inspired by the American principle of the equal time, aiming at guaranteeing a pluralistic information.
For the rest of the "pardoned" broadcasts, neither politicians as guests, nor the treatment of political issues, are allowed until elections.
"Right to know, right to inform, we are indignant" states the UsigRai (Rai's Italian journalists Union).
Once again Italy moves away from those liberal and democratic countries which should be its natural partners in Europe and in the world, getting closer, on the contrary, to some forms of government still common in some countries at Europe's borders. For the umpteenth time Italy confirms to be a borderline, and such a situation brings urgently to the rise of interrogations on the real nature of this country and its democracy.
Yesterday evening, instead of Ballarò RaiTre diffused "Dictatorship", a documentary dealing with the advent of fascism.
A random choice or a subliminal message from the communist channel head?
