Rome, June 28 (LaPresse) – “Mentana leaving La7? He made a first post, then a second and a third — he answered himself. I’m calm, I’ve had a relationship with him for 12 years, I see no issues.”
This is how Urbano Cairo, president of La7, commented to LaPresse on the future of TgLa7 director Enrico Mentana, after a series of cryptic social media posts that seemed to hint at a possible departure from the network.
Following his first post a few days ago, today Mentana added on Facebook: “Given the immediate reactions from friends and professionals alike: I never said or wrote that I was going anywhere. Many thanks to everyone who wrote to me here to share their thoughts, one way or another. I won’t disappear! (And a special greeting to all the haters, both professional and amateur, and to the bitter slanderers — it is an honor and a privilege to know how pointlessly spiteful you are).”
