Today marked the thirteenth failure to reach an appointment in the Rai Vigilance Committee as the center-right majority boycotted the voting session for Simona Agnes' presidency of the board of directors. Their absence meant that the legal number of attendees for the session was not met, resulting in further delays in the appointment process. This trend of non-attendance by the majority has persisted, leading to a significant backlog in the committee's work.

Barbara Floridia, the chairwoman of the committee, announced that she would be calling CEO Giampaolo Rossi to address the ongoing issues. The repeated absences from the committee sessions are not just procedural inconveniences but have raised concerns among opposition group leaders, who have formally criticized the majority for using such tactics to prevent a vote. They accuse the center-right coalition of blocking progress for more than a year under the pretext of ensuring their preferred candidate is appointed, which has resulted in a complete standstill in the committee’s operations.

The ongoing situation has implications for governance and accountability within Rai, Italy's national public broadcasting corporation. As the deadlock continues, it hampers the organization’s ability to function effectively and raises questions about the political maneuvering at play. The continuing political strife and the inability to form a leadership team may eventually affect how public broadcasting content is managed and perceived, further complicating the relationship between politics and media in Italy.
