Overview
- Agcom has formally recalled Rai and other national broadcasters to ensure comprehensive and unbiased coverage of the five upcoming referendum topics.
- The recall, issued on May 13, 2025, is based on monitoring data showing insufficient coverage and aims to uphold impartiality and complete information for voters.
- Broadcasters, including Rai, are legally required to comply with Agcom’s Resolution 102/25/Cons and the Parliamentary Commission’s April 2 directive on referendum coverage.
- Opposition parties and referendum promoters have accused Rai of neglecting the referendums, while Rai claims it has provided adequate coverage.
- The referendums, addressing significant constitutional and civic matters, are scheduled for June 8 and 9, heightening the need for balanced media treatment.
