ROME (ITALPRESS) – “On Dec. 15, 45 years ago, Tg3 was born under the direction of Biagio Agnes, my father. It is an indelible memory for the history of Rai and for my family. Today, as then, to work for Rai is to be part of a great team, working together – with sometimes different visions, as is right – but with the sole purpose of supporting the role of public service. The challenge for all of us is to realize a Rai that is a protagonist of the changes that society, citizens, and our subscribers are asking of us and that technology, the market, impose on us. A fundamental transformation to ensure competitiveness and authority for the country’s leading cultural company.” Thus Rai board member Simona Agnes, who, on her candidacy for the presidency of Rai, says: “I am available to carry out this position with the utmost seriousness and professionalism in full respect of the mandate and pluralism and the guidelines of the Parliamentary Supervisory Commission. It would be an honor for me to play a role of guarantee, towards everyone with a deep and convinced spirit of service as my father, Biagio Agnes, who dedicated his life to Rai, did before me. “The guidelines,” he adds, “are the words of President of the Republic Mattarella in his message for the Rai States General, when he recalled that the Public Service has the extraordinary mission of being recognized as a reliable and authoritative source for citizens and must be ‘a framework of freedom and a space of inclusion where originality, professionalism, innovation, pluralism and non-partisanship can continue to unfold without abuse.’ These are the motivations that sustain the spirit of service that animates me and which, by professional, personal and family history, has animated and will animate my daily commitment to this company.” (ITALPRESS).
