Premier Matteo Renzi told RAI
public broadcaster Wednesday that unlike ex-premier Silvio
Berlusconi he's not in the business of issuing so-called
Bulgarian edicts.
"There is no Bulgarian edict," he told TG3 evening news.
"Berlusconi was the one who issued a Bulgarian edict. My job is
to govern, not to make lists of prescriptions".
The expression refers to a situation similar to that of 13
years ago, known as the Bulgarian edict, when three popular TV
figures - veteran journalist Enzo Biagi, satirist Daniele
Luttazzi and TV presenter and journalist Michele Santoro -
disappeared from RAI's airwaves in 2002 after being criticised
by then premier Berlusconi on a visit to Bulgaria.
