It was once said that politics was transversal to hunting practice, but today we know that this is not the case. Hunting depends directly or vertically on politics, be it regional, governmental or European, so doors open in ACL to candidates in the next European elections, those of 26 May, but only to those who clearly share our passion and our traditions. After Lara Comi, former vice-president of the EPP, it was the turn of Pietro fiocchi, independent candidate with Brothers of Italy in the North West constituency (Lombardy-Piedmont-Liguria and Val d'Aosta.
The first, Lara Comi, we have known for some time having been able to collaborate with her and ascertain her political seriousness. The second comes from the arms sector and from a family of hunters and certainly has the skills and knowledge to represent hunting in Europe. Now they are asking us for meetings with other candidates, from the League and other groups that ACL will be happy to hear. "This is the famous period of the" dear hunter friend "where flattery and promises are wasted and that is why as ACL we have not yet made a decision and we have not sided with anyone.
Voting is a serious matter and having a few more weeks ahead, before giving directions to our associates or leaving individuals free choice of expression, we want to ponder this thing well ”. So he declares Charles Bravo, regional president of the Lombard Hunters Association, an association of hunters that between Brescia and Bergamo and other areas of Lombardy can count on a basin of well over 4 thousand votes, excluding wives, children, girlfriends and relatives all close to hunting traditions. A nice hoard of votes that would be convenient for many and that could make a difference. "We do not discuss the seriousness and skills of individual candidates - Carlo Bravo reiterates - but in addition to promises, although we are aware of the difficulties, we need guarantees ”.
