The assembly of the Repubblica called for a two-day strike, from September 25 to 26. To protest, the site says, against the “serious interference in the journalistic activity of the publisher, of companies linked to it and of other private entities.” Which would have taken place “on the occasion of the Italian Tech Week event.” What happened? “All the work done so far, plus that which will have to be done during the three days in Turin, has been sold to the same technology companies that are participating,” according to the factThe strike comes during the “three days of masterclasses, interviews, meetings and insights” that will be held in Turin from September 25 to 27.

“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.”
