“For some time now we have been denouncing attempts to bend our colleagues to practices that are far from being in line with ethics and respect for the national contract,” says the journalists' note. Which then directly attacks Maurizio Molinari: “The management has a duty to make all possible corrections and safeguards to strengthen the structures for protecting the journalistic packaging of all Repubblica's content, a subject on which a vote of censure has already taken place in recent months. was voted for the current director.”
Then they question John Elkann: “But we also appeal to the editor in chief – not the owner – of Repubblica so that he has a deep respect for our dignity as professionals and the value of our newspaper.” Finally, the appeal to readers: “Finally, we appeal to our readers: this editorial office has never sold its soul. And it will never be willing to do so.”
