"I note with regret the resignation of CEO Carlo Fuortes, while respecting the reasons for his decision. I express my personal regret for the sometimes unpleasant way in which the story has been treated by the media and I would like to thank him for the commitment and passion with which he has worked in these 21 months at Rai", says in a note the president of Rai, Marinella Soldi, speaking of the resignation of Carlo Fuortes as CEO.

And he continues: "Strategic emergencies are looming for the company: the Service Contract, the Business Plan, the Sustainability Plan. Fundamental elements, regardless of political color". "A lot of work has already been started in Rai", underlines Soldi, "We now need a climate of collaboration and a responsible attitude on the part of all stakeholders, different from the harmful uncertainty that has characterized recent times. In my role as president at the service of citizens I will do everything possible for a digital, inclusive and sustainable public service, able to keep up with the times and central to the lives of all Italians. To Carlo Fuortes go my warmest wishes for new professional goals".
