Premier Matteo Renzi has said he had nothing to do with controversial appointments of the new heads of the TG2 and TG3 news services on State broadcaster RAI's RAI2 and RAI3 channels.
Ida Colucci took over TG2 in the place of Marcello Masi and Luca Mazza' replaced Bianca Berlinguer at TG3.
Opposition parties argue that Premier Matteo Renzi's
government is trying to muffle dissent ahead of this autumn's
referendum on its package to overhaul Italy's political
machinery.
"I didn't have a say in the appointments," Renzi said
late on Tuesday.
