Territorial Operational Groups
For the second time in the space of a few days there Regional Council, and in particular the Agriculture, Hunting and Fishing Department, did not respect fundamental principles of democracy and meritocracy. In fact, after having placed the ATCs of the Lazio Region under commissionership (with resolution no. 65 of 8 February 2024), the Region established the Territorial Operational Groups (GOT) - foreseen by the ordinance of 24 August 2023, without convening the Hunting Associations recognized as affected by the resolutions.
The candidates
Furthermore, although the candidates called to fill roles within the GOT must be chosen taking into account their professionalism and experience profiles, the Region as regards the representatives in the AA.VV. recognized, did not consider convening the latter to consult the candidates, having the necessary profiles relevant to the role but decided to appoint people who in most cases have little to do with the topics covered in the GOT.
Program management
This way of operating on the part of the Lazio Region appears harmful with regards to the correct management of the program envisaged by the ordinance for the eradication of the ASF, and also ignores the merits of the hunting world which has always managed, completely voluntarily, the territory with passion and competence. The legitimate requests of the AA.VV. signatories, if the Region does not deem it necessary to go back on the decisions taken, they will be presented in the competent offices and brought to the attention of the Extraordinary Commissioner for the PSA.
