Pending publication of the device of the "Cassation" on Referendum and that the meeting of the national hunting associations can be held, all with the participation of the CNCN for a collegial evaluation to define a medium and long-term perspective, we entrust a first reflection to the discussion among the hunters. L'ARCI Hunting it had been active for some time together with the other hunting associations and the CNCN in monitoring the extravagant novelty of the two referendum committees 2021 against hunting "presented duelists" and then definitively clashed in the courtrooms. First mediocre "figure" the various questions were lost "along the way" leaving only one in the field: that of the committee "Let's abolish hunting" to repeal law 157/92 in the parts that allow hunting. The originality of the promoters of the 2021 referendum questions was the total argued absence - to support them - of the most important and significant environmental and animal welfare associations, which criticized the collection of signatures before, during and after.
If not for the protection of wildlife and al scheduled hunting sampling what was the last lonely referendum on hunting for? The propaganda was characterized by the obvious albeit veiled dependence on political-party interests and by the presence of some characters belonging to militants of local lists or who aspired to overcome "limits" to their representation in search of notoriety. Also this time the "Referendum", an important guarantor of democracy, as desired by the men and women of the Constituent Assembly, is manipulated by "politicians" for their interests. Parliament pays them to make laws, modify them, improve them, while they are unable to try to exploit the citizens.
Italians are wise and wary of tactical cunning and, when they detect them, they give a strong and significant democratic value to "abstention". The hunting world has always been close to and comforted by the majority of sensitive Italians on referendum occasions that involved it, who have had the opportunity to criticize the politicians so as not to consciously present themselves at the polls. Despite the communication spaces made available to them on social media, to the sponsors of well-known theater and politicians, to the support of some newspapers, citizens have assessed the non-credibility of the problem on which their request was made. precious signature. The declared numbers speak for themselves even after the facilitation of digital signatures, which took place once the collection has begun and the extensions subsequently granted.
Already in the Municipalities there was mistrust of the correctness of the collection of signatures and there were complaints about irregularities, rightly detected by the citizens. The hunting world with deep respect for those who "signed" believes that their requests must also be addressed in the common effort to conserve and enrich biodiversity for today and for future generations. The Italian hunting world is undoubtedly an active part, and increasingly will be, in achieving the objective of contributing to save the planet, for their part. We will be there. We also hope that for the near future thehunting associations he will not be found unprepared for any "new provocations".
We will support wildlife management activities, we will equip ourselves with more adequate and timely legal protection actions and we will follow up on the pre-referendum common decision to structure ourselves promptly and uniquely without indulging in equivocal inventions in a federation, union or confederation, if you prefer, also structured in the regions and territories, to have more capacity to do and communicate, to scientific knowledge and competence, to be at the active service of the economy of the countryside of our beautiful country to which we renew our affection.
