"The difference between being on this side and that side": Enrico Ruggeri's political attack on Rai 1 | Video

He took the stage of Ora o mai più , the Saturday night musical show on Rai 1 hosted by Marco Liorni . And as always Enrico Ruggeri received a lot of applause, in the studio and at home, on social media.

The Milanese singer-songwriter wanted to send a message to his colleagues in the competition, who are virtually playing for the chance to return to the great music scene after a period of oblivion, for various reasons. But in light of his past, with rumors of "political" ostracism because he was one of the few artists not so much "aligned with the right" as "not in support of the left", the Rouge 's reflection takes on a whole new dimension.

The celebrity contestants answer to the names of Pierdavide Carone, Antonella Bucci, Matteo Amantia , Anonimo italiano, Carlotta , Valerio Scanu, Loredana Errore, Pago . All people who have known success, going from talent shows to the Sanremo Festival, and with excellent results in the rankings. Then something, in their careers, seems to have stopped their rise.

"I watch this show a lot, I suffer for some friends to whom I send messages. I have to say something that no one has ever said: between being on this side and being on the other - explains Ruggeri, distinguishing between the contestants and the judges - beyond talent which is subjective, there are many factors. A bad manager, an unfortunate choice, someone who swore it to you , you argued with the wrong person, you didn't know how to take advantage, sometimes the strategy in this job, which doesn't mean not having poetry but knowing how to make the right choices in these moments, sometimes makes someone be on the other side and not on this side. Make sure that no one makes you feel inferior without your consent. And good luck".
