Walter Veltroni has come out against nominating a new Rai board with the current law. Whilst one might disagree with the method found in the current law to appoint board members (seven of nine members by parliamentary committee, president plus one ordinary member by ministerial nomination subject to two-thirds majority in the same committee), it seems unlikely that waiting for a new law to be approved first would do anything other than increase the uncertainty surrounding the duration in office of the current board.
