The opposition centre-left
Democratic Party (PD) said Friday that it has requested a
meeting with Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico and Senate Speaker
Elisabetta Casellati over the situation at State broadcaster
RAI.
The network is in state of stalemate after RAI's
parliamentary oversight commission this week failed to approve
the government's pick to be its new president - Marcello Foa.
Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini has said
he is standing by Foa's nomination.
"We ask you to grant is an encounter before the next RAI
board meeting, so we can illustrate our well founded reasons for
serious concern," read the request by whips Graziano Delrio and
Andrea Marcucci.
