Sergio, CEO of Rai: “No more simulated sexual acts in the front row. Fiorello? He will come back. Lippi's sensational mistake"
ROME. During the last Sanremo «I criticized the simulated sexual act in the front row between two characters from the show, in a protected area, I did not criticize the kisses. But that was unacceptable. If something like this happens again, it obviously won't be allowed." Thus the CEO of Rai Roberto Sergio, guest of the "Foglio" festival underway in Venice. «Maybe there will be a directing gap», says the CEO who underlines: «In the next Sanremo none of us will be sitting in the front row, that's for sure. I will be in the third or fourth row, in front there will be young people and season ticket holders». And on the presence of Rosa Chemical at the next Sanremo, cut it short: «He was the son of Batman and Undertrans in Fiorello's game in his program», he articulates, «I don't see any problems». And speaking of Fiorello, Sergio explains: «Fiorello said that I will have to be the manager of the condominium in via Asiago, I will have to meet the inhabitants of via Asiago because objectively there has been some confusion, I understand it. I will meet him and hopefully find a solution that will allow me to return. That program lives on the street, and we need to find a way for the program to be compatible with those who live there».

On the subject of farewells to Rai, Sergio is clear: «I think I have expressed positive judgments, even in supervision, towards Lucia Annunziata. I had reconfirmed her program for next season without any type of censorship, I had reassured her, indeed I had asked her to confirm her episodes until the end of June. I don't think we can be considered Istituto Luce, we are a company that adds and doesn't take away and we will give a voice to all the voices of the country. I always thought we should change, add, but never purge. I confirmed Gramellini, Annunziata, Report all the programs considered ideological within Rai. Talk about the purge to me frankly ....».

Sergio is strict about what Claudio Lippi said: «It's not acceptable. No one can speak of Rai colleagues in those terms, including Claudio Lippi. That he is a good person, but he made a sensational mistake ».
