Tuscan hunters locked in the fort, the last days of a dying regime

The Confederation of Tuscan Hunters closed in the fort, the last days of a dying regime. There is a real revolution in the system of hunting in Tuscany. Only those who have decided not to see what is in front of them can continue to pretend nothing has happened.

The CCT continues to retreat into its own shelter, as recently happened in Florence, where the former provincial administration appears to have decided to include only the CCT in the next management committee. This is, in our opinion, a very serious act that will have both legal and political consequences for hunting. We intend to speak clearly to the provinces that must choose the names for the next management committees; no one should think of creating ATCs. With the CCT's "single-party" structure, there must be plurality among the associations. We do not play the game of invoking the CCT when it's convenient, and when there is a different interest, Federcaccia and Arcicaccia are two different things. (We are not mentioning ANUU because, in our opinion, it is perhaps an unwitting "victim.") It seems curious that those who, in some cases, through their representatives, have mismanaged the organization for nearly twenty years, accuse us of being interested in getting seats, when Enal, Libera, and Ital, despite remaining outside the halls of power, are seeing their membership numbers grow at the Confederation's expense, dissatisfied with their own actions. Perhaps it would be better to stay out of the picture to "fill up" membership numbers. But we are associations aware of the work that must be done for the benefit of hunting and hunters, and for this reason we want to accept the challenge of management to make a contribution, alongside other hunting organizations, precisely for the benefit of hunting and hunters, the only ones who pay a lot of money for management.

That is why we are calling for these management committees to be increased to twenty. Not only that, we ask that the possibility be given to those associations that will remain out of being able to attend the meetings of the committee as "listeners" Who does not want to do this, perhaps, wants to continue to administer without any counterpart. We believe that pluralism is the best guarantee of future management. The Region has no reason not to accept our requests to expand the management committees to twenty units, on the contrary if someone came to mind to "cancel" the control systems, dictated by art. 11 5 and 6, that is, those who speak of ATC tenders, or of control by the Region itself, according to our thinking, there could also be serious consequences for the future. However things go, we will be very vigilant in the control that the law allows us with access to the documents in the new management of the hunting activity.

Let it be clear to everyone that the places we claim in our ATC and all the other members are voluntary, that is, without attendance fees for meetings and commissions. (which is strongly opposed by others). The Free Hunting Associations, Enal, Ital, are not interested in playing the fray, but no one can think of leaving out the representatives of about 20.000 hunters, since they are asking us to intervene.

Having said the above, let's try to make a new appeal, open to all hunting associations, lay down the "edged and firearms", let's meet for serious and constructive negotiations on the new way of managing all types of hunting, for the good of hunters, including the possibility of hunting throughout the provincial territory, in areas included with the payment of Euro 100,00.
