VIDEO | Sangiuliano: “In Rai they pasteurize thought, I was always censored”

Then the minister does not respond on the Signorelli case: "I haven't heard a word about the gulags or the Khmer Rouge"

ROME – “I have always been a critical spirit. When I was in Rai I was censored daily for my critical spirit, because Rai is an expression of the pasteurization of thought, of banality made into thought and every critical thought was censored.” The Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, says this at the conference ‘Towards the G7: AI, risks and opportunities’, promoted by Italian journalists. Then to those who ask him for a comment to the Signorelli case, he escapes like this: “I haven’t heard a word about the gulags or the Khmer Rouge. In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge began a real genocide of two million individuals, just because they came from an industrial civilization. I want to dictate the news agenda, today’s news is the massacre of these people we must dedicate our memory.”

The minister, then interviewed by Radio 24, also denied any tensions in the majority after the European elections: “Unfortunately many work in fictional literature rather than in journalism. There is no It is a rosier picture. The tensions are not there, we have listened carefully to Salvini’s words, in which he has obviously repeatedly declared that for him the government is untouchable. We are moving forward in this direction to implement the program we enjoy seeing the reports of some newspapers and seeing how disconnected they are from reality. Very often our colleagues confuse their desires with reality. And instead, good journalism should be the representation of reality, not the invention of an abstract reality does not exist and belongs to fictional literature”.
