MPs and activists of the "Aboliamo hunting" committee took to the streets a Montecitorio to protest against the failure of the municipalities to deliver the certificates relating to the signatures filed for the referendum against hunting. As the parliamentarians Emanuela Corda, Gianluca Perilli and Giovanni Vianello explained, among others, the signatures collected are in fact over 500 thousand, but many could be invalidated precisely "due to lack of certificates that the municipalities should have supplied, but they are in default ”.
The risk, explained the lawyer David Zanforlini, also in the square, is that of a lack of validation by the Supreme Court. "The municipalities delivered the certificates after the deadline of October 30", he explained, stressing that some "still arrive today". "And this unfortunately will not allow the referendum to be admissible“The hope is that of an intervention by the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese.
“We ask the competent minister to take charge of this problem, it is unacceptable that it is not possible to deposit signatures and to have them validated ”, explained the Honorable Corda in the square. "Let's try to put ourselves in the shoes of those who signed the referendum - said Gianluca Perilli - what should they think of this non-fulfillment and that due to a general inefficiency, can't the referendum be held? ”. The government, concluded Vianello, "cannot be deaf" in the face of this "one cannot be deaf".
