A long-awaited meeting that could represent a first step towards a difficult reconciliation. The August 4th next was an appointment that would have involved the Minister of the Environment, Gianluca Galletti and the Lombard hunters' associations. As pointed out byLombard Hunters Association, the meeting had been prepared in every detail by the Honorable Lara Comi, but it jumped due to "work commitments" of the same minister.
It would not have been a day like many others, given that the meeting is essential to prepare the various steps that are necessary to go to Brussels to the Commissioner for the Environment Carmen Vella. The Lombard hunters expressed great regret for this sudden change of plans, as they were ready to ask Galletti for explanations on the behavior considered at least ambiguous on the hunting policy.
The association does not want to think badly, that is, that work commitments are nothing more than the pressure exerted by environmentalists. The minister was called upon to explain the penalties for infringement of the so-called "Birds Directive", a procedure threatened by the EU only against Italy. The date of the meeting was however postponed to September, even if few believe in a postponement. Meanwhile, the constitution of NO committees in the constitutional referendum becomes more and more reality.
