In Italy, Clemente Mastella threatens to vote no-confidence in Rai’s board after Michele Santoro’s Annozero gave too much space over to judges defending one of their number, leaving only “poor Scotti” (Luigi Scotti, Mastella’s deputy – and his choice of phrase). Judging that open season on Rai has begun, Storace’s Destra – a partitino if ever there was one – has decided to bring Rai to court for ignoring them.
