While awaiting the decision on the reinstatement of Sigfrido Ranucci at Report, the editorial team is experiencing days of uncertainty

While awaiting the decision on the request for reinstatement to the management of Report submitted by Sigfrido Ranucci by the labor judge of Rome, the editorial team is experiencing days of uncertainty about its future. In the editorial staff there are those who say they are ready to leave in the event of his return, but there has been no common decision, as the Rai Insights cdr makes known. Having overcome the obstacle of the new organizational structure, with the two new hosts, now the Court's ruling could shuffle the cards again, as the debut of the new season approaches, set for November 8th.

It was Il Corriere della Sera that reported the voices of the historical correspondents and authors of the program who would not be willing to stay, if Ranucci were to win the appeal, for "a question of opportunity and incompatibility". The cdr replies that the title of the article 'If he comes back we'll leave. The editorial team against Ranucci' "does not correspond to reality", denying "that there was any assembly or other representative meeting of the editorial staff entitled to attribute their opinion". "The fear today among colleagues is that a part has been chosen for the whole", concludes the cdr.

Ranucci himself then intervened to brand the reconstruction as false and underline that the version reported "concerns the position of 2-3 journalists, out of the total of 43 people employed in the broadcast. Besides the 3 people, the rest of the editorial team was unaware of the interview given anonymously". The former host then recalls that the assembly of the broadcast's journalists on August 31st had taken sides against the company's decision to replace him, even threatening a strike. In short, the editorial team would be with him, even if not everyone. On Friday on Un giorno da pecora, for example, the new co-host Daniele Piervincenzi said he expected to be kicked out by Ranucci in the event of a return.

The decision of judge Donatella Casari is expected in the first part of October, who last Friday reserved the right to decide on the urgent appeal presented by Ranucci's lawyers, giving the parties the deadline of September 30th to file the notes. Then there will be the sentence. Furthermore, the deadline for the journalist to choose one of the possible alternative destinations offered by the company, an assignment at Rainews, at Tg3 or the Cairo correspondence office, was extended by 15 days.
