Hunting in Liguria towards the reopening after the stop of the 2013-2104 hunting calendar by the Council of State.
Bruzzone (Lega) slept in the Council "My protest continues to the bitter end" since they met outside the regional building to express their support for the League leader in this battle. "I thank all those who made me feel their closeness, writing me, phoning me, and the many who came to see me this morning - said Bruzzone - As already mentioned, I will continue to live in the Regional Council until the hunt resumes, until there will be a new hunting calendar. Environmentalists contest (see article below, ed) my figures on the cost of hunting for those who practice it and on the number of hunters in Liguria? I don't think these associations can teach me anything on the subject ».
The new hunting calendar of the Region could arrive tomorrow, after the suspension imposed last Tuesday by the Council of State, following the appeal presented by some animal and environmental associations on hunting.
The conditional is mandatory, also because the offices of the Department of the Environment that are trying to elaborate a new calendar proposal to be submitted to the Commission tomorrow - provided that this morning the junta dismisses it have few elements to correct any errors that they would have been charged to him by the Council of State. "We can not understand what is wrong - admits Councilor Renata Briano - also because the TAR had given us reason. Among other things, this appeal was made in a way in which the counterpart is not even heard, and therefore we have not received any notification and we do not even know the reasons that led the judge to take this decision. And then I do not understand why the environmentalists who have appealed have waited a month to address the Council of State after the rejection of the TAR. If they really had cared about the fate of the animals, they could have moved immediately afterwards ».
Having said that, in the meantime, the occupation of the Regional Council by the group leader of the Northern League, Francesco Bruzzone, has just ended, as a form of peaceful and symbolic protest against the stop to hunting. Bruzzone spent Wednesday night in the classroom, sleeping on the floor and so he should have done yesterday as well. The protest began around 10 on Wednesday morning, when the Lega Nord councilor "occupied" the council chamber in via Fieschi, and continued throughout the day. On Wednesday afternoon, the leader of the Carroccio group received visits from the President of the Regional Council Rosario Monteleone and the Regional Councilor of the Northern League Maurizio Torterolo. Yesterday morning, however, he received the visit of over a hundred hunters who, alone.
