Level playing field in private TV: AgCom approves the recent resolution but without the pro-government rule valid for Rai. The sabotage could be Gasparri’s

> AgCom has therefore confirmed the text sent in recent weeks to the bicameral Commission for its incorporation into its own provision – as required by the law that assigns control over public TV to Parliament – but without the incident that caused so much scandal . That is, what introduces, in journalistic in-depth programs, “the need to guarantee timely information on institutional and government activities”. > It was in fact the Forzista group leader Maurizio Gasparri who sabotaged the initial plan of Palazzo Chigi, who was against leaving the government free rein in the talks for a very simple reason: the Italian ministers are much less “heavy” and in demand than the Melonian and Northern League ministers, endorsing such a provision could have made the allies spread on TV even to their detriment, not just the opposition. So what did Berlusconi’s senator come up with? A reformulation of the “indicted” amendment – presented by Fdi, Lega and Noi moderates – which makes explicit reference to the 1993 law which imposes equal treatment between parties in the electoral campaign. A tweak, which coalition colleagues probably did not understand, and which in fact ends up tying the hands of those who wanted them free, since a parliamentary resolution certainly cannot derogate from a state law Article: https://www .repubblica.it/politica/2024/04/12/news/par_condicio_tv_private_lagcom_approva_la_delibera_senza_la_norma_pro-governo-422473600/
