Barbara Mazzali, regional councilor of Lombardy (Brothers of Italy) has published a note relating to what has happened in the last few hours in the Region: “Today the commissioner came to the Environment Commission Cattaneo that the Pdl 96 has exposed us, which is nothing more than a revision of the discipline of voluntary ecological surveillance service (Gev). It is interesting to have learned that the Lombardy Region has always earmarked 700 thousand euros for the purchase of capital goods, understood as cars, uniforms and more, functional to the service.
My first observation was that if we talk about volunteering, we talk about Civil Protection, Red Cross and none of these perceive prerogatives. The second observation is that I would be sorry for the Lombardy Region to create children and stepchildren, because the voluntary body of hunting guards, who perform the same tasks with an added value of the port of a weapon, is not recognized. a single penny. Third observation is that we have a Provincial Police dependent on the Lombardy Region which is severely lacking in resources and has not received funds neither for new cars nor for new uniforms.
I am sorry to note also on this occasion that figures who carry out the same work of protection of the territory, as well as the voluntary hunting guards, are not even taken into consideration. And despite this they continue to do their jobs using their own means, while acting on the basis of a prefectural decree. In short, the appropriations for the Gev, but then the other figures who carry out an important job for our territory must also arrive at the same time ”.
