In a significant political development, Italian opposition parties have united against further appointments to the Rai board of directors without prior reform.

This decision comes amidst a delay in the vote for new board members, originally scheduled for September 12, now postponed to September 26. The delay is attributed to a stalemate within the center-right coalition, which has inadvertently strengthened the opposition's stance.

Elly Schlein, during a book presentation in Rome, emphasized the need for a public broadcasting reform to ensure independence from political parties.

The opposition's unified front sends a clear message to the ruling coalition, demanding transparency and reform before any new appointments.
