A high-profile Italian author has accused Rai of censorship after his antifascist monologue was abruptly stopped from being aired, in what he called the “definitive demonstration” of alleged attempts by Giorgia Meloni’s government to wield its power over the state broadcaster.

Antonio Scurati was due to read the monologue marking the 25 April national holiday, which celebrates Italy’s liberation from fascism, on the Rai 3 talkshow Chesarà on Saturday night.

But as he prepared to travel to Rome, he received a note from Rai telling him his appearance had been cancelled “for editorial reasons”.

Scurati is well known in Italy for his books about the dictator Benito Mussolini and the fascist period. The cancellation of his monologue provoked fierce reaction from Rai journalists, fellow authors and opposition leaders.

His speech referenced Giacomo Matteotti, a political opponent of Mussolini who was murdered by fascist hitmen in 1924, and other massacres of the regime. It also contained a paragraph criticising Italy’s “post-fascist” leaders for not “repudiating their neofascist past”.

“Undoubtedly, this is what infuriated them,” Scurati told the Guardian. “And also because of what I represent and maintain in my books … [that] there is a continuity between the fascism of Mussolini and the populist nationalists in Europe.”

The Rai director Paolo Corsini denied that the monologue had been censored, telling the Italian media that an investigation “of an economic and contractual nature” was under way, while implying that the speech was cancelled because of the “higher than expected” fee sought by Scurati.

Scurati said his fee had been agreed and the contract signed before the monologue was due to be broadcast. “The fee was perfectly in line with those paid to authors … It was the same as in the past, when there were no issues.”

In solidarity, Serena Bortone, who presents Chesarà, read out the monologue on the show. It has also been published in full by several Italian newspapers and websites.

Meloni, whose Brothers of Italy party has neofascist origins, came to power in October 2022 with a coalition including the far-right League and the late Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia.

During the election campaign, Meloni said the rightwing parties had “handed fascism over to history for decades now”. However, Scurati claimed in his monologue that when forced to address fascism at historical anniversaries, Meloni has “obstinately stuck to the ideological line of her neofascist culture of origin”, for example by blaming the Mussolini regime’s persecution of the Jews and other massacres on Nazi Germany alone.

Meloni responded by publishing the speech on her Facebook page, while attacking Scurati and accusing the left of “shouting at the regime”.

“Rai responded by simply refusing to pay €1,800 (the monthly salary of many employees) for a minute of monologue,” she said. “I don’t know what the truth is, but I will happily publish the text of the monologue (which I hope I don’t have to pay for) for two reasons: 1) Those who have always been ostracised and censored by the public service will never ask for anyone to be censored. Not even those who think their propaganda against the government should be paid for with citizens’ money. 2) Because Italians can freely judge its content.”

Since coming to power, the Meloni government has been accused of increasingly exerting its power over Rai while edging out managers or TV hosts with leftwing views. The European Commission was last week urged to investigate the government’s alleged attempts to turn the broadcaster into a “megaphone” for the ruling parties before the European elections.

Meloni’s administration has also been accused of trying to influence other areas of the press and targeting journalists with legal action who criticise the government. A Brothers of Italy politician recently proposed toughening penalties for defamation, including jail terms of two to three years.

Elly Schlein, the leader of the centre-left Democratic party, said: “The Scurati case is serious; Rai is the megaphone for the government.” Carlo Calenda, the leader of the centrist Azione party, said: “Silencing a writer for saying unpleasant things about the government is simply unacceptable.”

Scurati said he has received solidarity from many authors and journalists who were otherwise afraid to speak out against the government.

“This episode is the definitive demonstration, as it has finally aroused the revolt of other writers, intellectuals and journalists who until now kept quiet,” he said. “This government launches violent personal attacks against you for speaking out, in my case [that] I asked for too much money.”

Il 25 Aprile non è di Sangiuliano

Non si può festeggiare il 25 Aprile senza essere antifascisti cocchino.

È come festeggiare l'8 marzo senza essere contro gli stupri.

E intanto, a Pordenone, il comune decide di iniziare a uccidere i fastidiosi e sanissimi 47 tigli che intralciavano un progetto del PNRR. Solo 7 giorni prima dell'udienza per il ricorso contro l'abbattimento fatto al Consiglio di Stato, fregandosene dell'eventuale sentenza sfavorevole. Una amministrazione che, con un ricorso pendente (e costosissimo), decide di prendere in giro i cittadini, secondo me dovrebbe essere dichiarato decaduto. Non importa se poi dovesse essere in qualche modo punito per aver abusato del proprio potere. Si tratta di un organo amministrativo che si sta sostituendo ad un organo giurisdizionale. Non un bell'esempio di rispetto della Costituzione da parte del sindaco di Pordenone Alessandro Ciriani, fratello del ministro Luca Ciriani, di Fratelli d'Italia. E non un bell'esempio di come vengano usati i soldi del PNRR.

È un mio testo del 2017, ma non mi pare che ci siano aggiornamenti di rilievo da fare. Solo che quello che prima era un fascismo strisciante, ora marcia alla luce del sole col petto in fuori, un braccio teso e un altro a protezione dei co*l*oni.

Poi, se non la conoscete questa canzone di Fausto Amodei, è il momento di ascoltarla.

Ha più di 50 anni, ma li porta fin troppo bene.

Complimenti al governo di destra (sempre più affiliato alla mafia oltre che portare avanti le idee nazifasciste) che ha tagliato nettamente fondi a sanità e istruzione pubblica, al contrasto alla violenza sulle donne e persino a quello a bulimia e anoressia, ma sempre pronti a difendere criminali nei vertici dello Stato e di aziende e banche. Questo governo liberal nazifascista merita di essere rovesciato. Più che lotta pacifica e parlamentare, serve - come dice Mao Tse-tung - il FUCILE.

I'm sorry for my inactivity, but there's been a tragedy. My country is in danger. Although I'm not currently living in Italy, it's still my home and I cannot express how much danger my country is in. Yesterday, Italians has to choose a new ruling party - an election basically.

The chances of Fratelli D'Italia (brothers/sisters of Italy) were extremely high. FDI is an extreme, far right political group. They are a neo-fascist government and is the most far-right political party since Mussolini in the second world war.

Unfortunately, they have won the election because the left side groups are not powerful enough and there is not one specific group good enough to be an opposition. The left wing groups have forgotten what they are meant to be, and unfortunately have been supporting causes such as racism, anti-immigration and dehumanising rights.

The success of this extreme far-right group means my country is in terrible danger. The rights to abortion will be questioned, the LGBTQ+ community will be further dehumanised and immigrants will not be able to enter my country.

The problem is not Giorgia Meloni herself, it's what she symbolises. A neo-fascist government which will be remarkably similar to Germany during the second world war, similar to what Hitler did. And if that doesn't scare you I don't know what will. Her and FDI's victory will legitimise homophobic, racist and discriminatory behaviour in my country and it will be legal. LEGAL.

Nobody knows what will happen now. But one thing is certain - although life will continue, it will not be normal. We are going to be under strict rule and huge groups of people are going to be in extreme danger.

We need the Italian left to step up, else we could see the rise of another neo-fascist government, FDI, much like the Nazi's.

I'm terrified for what the future holds for my beautiful country. I'm terrified for what will happen to my friends and family. I'm terrified of the government.

However, you can help. You can help by spreading the word an raising awareness of the danger my country is in. So please, I beg you, share this post and any you may come across. This is important and I won't let my country suffer in silence under what will quickly become a fascist country. Not a democracy anymore.

I hope you understand that I may be absent from social media in the next few weeks. I'm devastated.

Alla pagina 17 del programma elettorale di Fratelli d'Italia, si trovava la proposta di "istituire una indennità di disoccupazione per gli autonomi che segua le stesse regole dell’indennità prevista per il lavoro dipendente". L'idea – come spiegava Meloni– era quella di fissare un sussidio di disoccupazione, in caso della chiusura di una partita Iva, basato sulle stesse regole della Naspi. Un primo passo verso l'obiettivo finale, cioè un sistema universale di ammortizzatori sociali. Nel programma dei Fratelli d'Italia, il progetto andava sotto il capitolo dal titolo: "Per un vero Stato sociale che non dimentichi nessuno". Dodici mesi dopo, i primi a dimenticarsene sembrano essere stati loro.

Le sei promesse dimenticate nel primo anno di governo Meloni, che anche voi avevate scordato
