VIDEO | Storm over the summit Rai insights: “Corrado Formigli infamous”

Paolo Corsini on the sidelines of the party of the newspaper Il Tempo offends the TV host who replies: "Manager of the public service and militant FdI"

ROME – “Piazza Pulita? No comment. Tell our friend Corrado Formigli to look into his conscience…infamous“. These are the words of the Rai Insights Director Paolo Corsini, outside the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, where the Il Tempo newspaper party was taking place. The Rai summit was intercepted by the Piazza Pulita reporter, forced to remain outside because she did not have press accreditation. To Corsini’s insult, the journalist replied: “But you can’t tell me that with the microphone on”. The Rai top management then tried to downplay it: “I was referring to the step”.

In the studio, Corrado Formigli responds decisively: “I ask the Rai company whether these terms are worthy of a very high executive of public television, paid by all the citizens including myself. I don’t have the pleasure of knowing this Corsini but he insults me, without us ever having met. I understand that the Rai in-depth director is very nervous about the impressive series of flops he has strung together and for which he is co-responsible. However, I have a very clear conscience, also because I have always stayed away from parties and party electoral stages. The same cannot be said of you, as demonstrated by the last Atreju kermesse where you defined yourself as a militant of Fratelli d’Italia”.
