Pupi Avati: ” Rai board will return to represent the country, whoever expects it is right ”

” The Rai Board of Directors must return to having a role, it must represent the country and therefore cannot be represented by one person, as it was with Salini and as it will be in a while. And whoever claims to be there is right. ” This is what Pupi Avati told Adnkronos about the ongoing political controversy after the vote in the House and Senate, which did not bring a representative of Fdi to the Board of Directors. ” The more ecumenical, the more the Board of Directors is representative of the country – emphasizes the director – Rai must return to representing the country – he reiterates – and the Board must return to take responsibility for the choices made by the Company and not delegate them totally to the ‘CEO as has happened in recent years. The company carries out a public service, we pay it and we decide! What is the use of a Board of Directors that does not decide? What’s he doing there? – continues – Once upon a time the Boards counted and I’m not talking about two centuries ago but 10 years ago. Then there was a reform and things changed. Now everything is decided by the CEO, the board of directors has been dismissed. So – concludes Avati – Pretending to have a representative on the Board of Directors is a small thing while expecting to give back to the Board of Directors the role it had is important. This is the battle that must be done. ” (by Alisa Toaff)
