The assembly of the rebirth, of the restart for Federcaccia Bergamo, which in Seriate has called together its presidents of the municipal sections. He was the first in confrontation with the representatives of the territory in attendance for the President Michael Bornaghi, elected in 2019, and forced to postpone the 2020 assembly due to the pandemic. hunters who disappeared during Covid-19, those who have contributed to the management of Federcaccia in recent decades. During March 2020 Federcaccia Bergamo with the provincial and municipal sections, donated almost 80 thousand euros to various entities, including the three ASSTs of the province and local organizations of the Red Cross, White Cross, Blue Cross. To the 30 thousand euros donated by the provincial section, there have been multiple donations from the municipal authorities.
“The first two years of the new provincial executive council, I would define an emergency two-year period for the pandemic - explained Bornaghi-. We had to refrain from our passion, in some cases, however, by virtue of interpretations of convenience that do not adhere to the law ”. Federcaccia contains the losses in the number of members, a physiological decline in the entire hunting world and stands at more than 5 thousand members and indeed the data for next season are increasing, given the large presence of young people at the new hunter course held by the regional President Lorenzo Bertacchi, present at the assembly, who then took stock of the situation on the problems relating to hunting. “Since February - continued Bornaghi -, we have had almost 100 members, against an average of about 30 new hunters a year in recent years.
Allow me to applaud our regional President, which has drawn up a dispensation for the examination of the comprehensive and timely synthetic basic license, which allows anyone to approach the exam with ease of understanding ". During the meeting, the birth of 5 new Federcaccia sections was confirmed; Fonteno with the President Roberto Pedretti, Valleve-Foppolo with Paolo Berera, Carona with Giovanni Bianchi, Castione della Presolana with Giuseppe Canova and the second and new section of the city of Treviglio called Castel Cerreto - Geromina with Stefano Gatti. “The appreciation of our area representatives, the service to hunters and the trade union activity were the reasons for affiliation with Federcaccia Bergamo!
Then think of the constant communication through the various channels, which promptly informs all hunters, the management of claims, as well as the assistance that the provincial office offers to the municipal sections, including the age-old generation of PagoPa bulletins ”. The problems are not lacking of course and always concern the out of tune notes for the hunting world, such as the closure of the roccoli. "Among the most felt issues certainly remain roccoli and exceptions. The propensity of the Lombardy Region to restore, however, clashes with appeals by animal welfare associations, the outcome of which, despite the active intervention of Federcaccia, is known to all. The containment by the wildlife operators has undergone a tortuous path after the events in Brescia. Today the picture seems to have changed, in the light of a recent Constitutional Court ruling and the consequent modification of art. 41 of LRL 26 of 93.
We therefore hope that the Lombardy Region will issue directives common to all provincial police forces, so that the control activity of all harmful species can be restarted. In the province of Bergamo we are currently at a standstill, as, after the retirement of Pietro Bergamelli, the office of Commander of the provincial police is still vacant and therefore there is in fact no interlocutor and a person who takes decisions on the matter " . The wild boar is of course a problem that the Federcaccia's advice is notably demanding compactness to those who belong to this type of hunting. ”In every management body, contrasts emerge cyclically. Fortunately for us, minimal problems in the CA Valle Seriana and absent in Val di Scalve, the happy island of our province. I remind everyone that the managers of CA and ATC are volunteers who dedicate a good part of their time in the management of entities that are in fact to be considered public, assuming all the responsibilities of the case.
Precisely in order to assist and coordinate our representatives in the management bodies and in the relationship with the institutions, the Provincial Governing Council resolved to set up a technical coordination table entrusted to Italo Fanton. Federcaccia is well disposed to welcome the other associations and to this end it makes every effort at every national, regional and provincial level, to at least encourage the hypothesis of setting up a confederation. C.n some associations the dialogue is constant, as well as the shared vision on the various themes, and more generally on the future of hunting and hunting associations. Federcaccia must keep its historical conduct unchanged: putting the good of hunting before the mere interest of associations ". (Source FEDERCACCIA BERGAMO)
