"Legislation is not an exact science, it is not certain that repealing the hunting law will skip the referendum". Councilor Claudio Sacchetto thus responds to those who ask for an account of the amendment that should sanction the abrogation of hunting in Piedmont, presented in the Agriculture Committee.
It is true that it has not been approved, but not even withdrawn, so it is just a matter of waiting. The deadline is January 25 when the Region will have to appoint an "ad acta" commissioner for referendum operations, a vote that environmentalists have been waiting for for 25 years, and for which 60 signatures were collected in the XNUMXs.
"I don't understand all this fuss," says the regional councilor (Lega Nord) for hunting. It seems that the PDL was clearer by saying that the will is precisely to avoid the referendum, for which the expected expenditure would be a blow to the regional coffers.
"It is not true - replies Sacchetto - I presented it so that the Regional Council also works, takes its responsibilities, they are paid to do it, do something". The "something" would be a new hunting law that would bypass the referendum, but the commissioner insists that the consultation will take place.
"In the commission he said" quiet it will "but it is not true". Monica Cerutti, Sel's councilor, claims that: “Bag has blown us away, if his amendment was passed not only the bills presented would have been canceled, as in turn amendments to the regional law, but also the referendum ”.
However, among the various obstacles there is that of costs: “Democracy costs - replies Cerutti - it's not that we can not vote because it is“ a cost ”. Let's combine the referendum with the administrative ones that will take place in many cities in Piedmont, and the costs are reduced ”.
"Abolished the law, abolished the referendum. But how does Piedmont manage to stay without legislation? " the representatives of the Organizing Committee Roberto Piana (of Lac) and Piero Belletti (Pronatura) ask for it.
"Sacchetti doesn't care - says Roberto Piana - because the national framework law would always remain in force. . The national law is much more permissive and therefore Sacchetto's initiative goes in the opposite direction to that of the referendum".
"In a democratic state such a proposal would have been returned to the sender and the author would have been invited to pack his bags and look for work elsewhere ”added Piero Belletti.
Aldo Reschigna and Mino Taricco, Pd, speak of "real blitz"We have prevented a vote that would have thrown the sector into uncertainty. We asked for a legal opinion on the consequences ”.
The Democratic Party is not opposed to hunting “defended by a constitutional norm - the councilors write - but we wanted to arrive at a law that takes into account the real conditions in which the Piedmontese fauna is found and defines rules capable on the one hand of protecting their existence, and on the other of limiting their surplus where it occurs " .
And so too the subject of hunting inflames the relations between the majority and the opposition at Palazzo Lascaris.
