A monologue against violence against women will demand everyone's attention from Sanremo's magnificent scene tonight. Rula Jebreal will be on stage at Ariston as Amadeus' special guest on the first evening of the 70th anniversary of Sanremo.

The first thing thought by the Rai administrator, Fabrizio Salini, has to do with the journalistic profile. Who better than a journalist to make a monologue about violence against women without lying? While Rai 1 director Teresa De Santis has ensured that the presence of reporters will be on the other evenings, with two TG1 journalists, Emma D'Aquino and Laura Chimenti, bringing other delicate issues from the field of journalism.

But before the crucial meeting, where the presence of the well-known journalist was made official, the controversy over Jebreal's presence was not lacking. For the director of Rai 1, accusing him of boycotting Jebreal's presence at the festival, was unacceptable. De Santis emphasized that Jebreal's participation should have provided for a "compensation", both at the journalism level and at the public level.

Political debate

It starts with the fact that, in many of her statements without gloves, the Palestinian journalist has insulted the Italians by accusing them of being racist. For that, as soon as her name has been made public, the Italian public has exploded in attacks and accusations. But Salin has not returned the proposal for Jebreal's presence as a special guest.

Although the comments on the network have not stopped. A large part of the public thinks that Rula's ascension to the stage is an important indicator for Rai, who "has not changed at all".

State television appears to be still with the old one, other comments made public.

But the debate has not lacked political commentary, such as that of Forza Italia MP Lucio Malan, who posted on Twitter a photo of Jebrael with producer Harvey Weinstein, dating back to 2010: monologue against women violence, the best choice is, of course, Rula Jebreal, who has appeared in this photo with Harvey Weinstein, several times accused of assault and rape.
