“Melons? Never voted. And if the center-right can’t defend me for a damn sentence…”- Corriere.it

«On Rai? I put a cross on it, they were unkind. I have no political sponsorship. Giorgia Meloni? I’ve never voted for it. I supported her ten years ago when she had the history of the primaries with the People of Freedom, I supported her and a certain Cattaneo ». But above all: «If the center-right fails to defend me for a sentence of the c…. imagine others”. Filippo Facci’s umpteenth outburst is bitter, after his Rai program was canceled by the company due to the sentences addressed to the girl who reported having been subjected to sexual assault by Leonardo La Russa,
son of the president of the Senate.

Interviewed a The mosquito, on Radio 24, responding to Giuseppe Cruciani and David Parenzo, the journalist then tries to minimize: «Money? I survive without them, but they made me comfortable. That sentence there was true even if it doesn’t like it aesthetically. I do not regret”. Yet, in recent days, Facci had explained: «Without the contract in Rai I am financially ruined.
But I’d do it all over again, I don’t regret anything.”

The journalist, always a The mosquitohe then specified: “I didn’t get any political sponsorship to have that program on Rai”, underlining that he “perceived a real interest, which I don’t want to dirty with the fact that politics could be behind it”.
