The Italian political landscape is abuzz with discussions about the future of Rai, the national public broadcasting company.

The European Union has mandated reforms to ensure Rai's independence from political influence, prompting calls for immediate action.

Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party, has criticized the current efforts to renew the board of directors, arguing that it is merely a political maneuver to distribute positions.

Meanwhile, after months of intense debates and opposition, the Rai board, which expired in May, is set to be renewed.

This new board will mark the beginning of a more nationalist era under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as the last remnants of the previous administration are removed.

The Italian Parliament is scheduled to meet soon to elect four new board members, unless unforeseen obstacles arise.
