(ANSA) - Rome, July 18 - Alberto Barachini, the candidate of
ex-premier and media magnate Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right
opposition Forza Italia party, was on Wednesday elected chair of
the parliamentary oversight commission into State broadcaster
RAI.
Gianluigi Paragone, leader of the ruling anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S) on the panel, said he hoped that Barachini
would not serve the interests of Berlusconi's Mediaset media
group, which is RAI's main rival.
Barachini said "I hope my activities will be judged on merit.
