Enrico Manca
Enrico Manca was an Italian politician.Biography
Graduated in law, in 1959 he joined RAI and from 1961 to 1972 he was editor of Giornale Radio Rai, central editor of the TV news and director of cultural television services.
Member of the Italian Socialist Party, he was elected Deputy for the first time in 1972 and served as Minister of Foreign Trade in the Cossiga II Cabinet and in the Forlani Cabinet. His name was found on the lists of members of the P2 Masonic lodge, although Manca himself repeatedly denied his actual adherence to the lodge.
On 4 December 1986 he resigned as an MP due to incompatibility, having opted for the position of President of the RAI. He was re-elected in 1987, but he ceased his mandate on 4 August, again due to incompatibility, preferring to continue to be President of the RAI, a position he held until 1992, when he was re-elected MP.
In 1994 he founded the Reformist Socialist Party with Fabrizio Cicchitto, where he remained until 1996, when he joined the Socialist Party; later it passed to the Italian Democratic Socialists and, in 2002, to The Daisy. In 2007 he finally joined the Democratic Party, in which it remained until his death in 2011.
