Why Fedez no to Belve and Fabrizio Corona to Domenica In yes?

Whether it is censorship or a deliberate choice, it is now clear that Fedez has ended up on a sort of public service blacklist, as if he were a special suspect or a terrorist from whom we need to protect ourselves for fear of letting himself explode. Although Rai has distanced itself from the word «censorship” in response to the controversy he was talking about a stop in his participation in Beasts, the interview program hosted by Francesca Fagnani on Rai2, it is clear that the higher-ups consider Fedez someone to distance themselves from, even if we don’t really understand why. In justifying the choice not to approve her name, the public service explained that politics was not at all interested in what happened and who didn’t say a word about Fagnani’s decision to invite Federico on the show even if, in all honesty, we find it a little hard to believe this, given that Fedez’s previous career in Rai has almost always concerned the political world which, meanwhile, he came to power.

It’s since Fedez decided to exploit hosted at the 2021 May Day Concert to draw attention to the homophobia of some deputies of the League that its relationship with public television has deteriorated, to the point that someone even spoke of a veto against him lapsed only on the occasion of the 2023 Sanremo Festival, when he was asked to propose a strip of his podcast Wild Moss on Rai2 and where he once again decided to make people talk about himself by dedicating bars disliked by the government in office, not to mention of the kiss on the mouth with Rosa Chemical at the final of the Festival, a real provocation to a political class increasingly committed to making us understand that, for them, the only tolerable love is heterosexual love. The stop of Fedez a’s guest Beastsin short, seems to reinforce a sick and toxic idea that we should fight: thinking that suppressing uncomfortable opinions is the only way to limit them.

To think, in fact, that in 2023 Rai will ban the participation of certain people by applying provisions not so far from those of the regimes is something that burns and hurts, especially because there have always been dissonant voices towards the company or the government in power. Before the censorship ax falls and before specifying that all guests of Beasts – not just Fedez – they are paidi, however, one wonders: why does Rai seem to apply double standards? Why can’t Fedez appear on Rai2 to answer questions about his personal life while Fabrizio Corona can be a guest of Sunday In to define journalists as “corrupt” and to compare themselves to God? Ignoring the fact that we don’t think Fedez killed anyone, we really hope that someone realizes that limiting freedom of expression in 2023 is something very dangerous. Above all because, every year, citizens send financial support to a TV which, instead of giving everyone a voice, now seems devoted to intolerance.
