Le elections they are a very important appointment for the Italian hunting world but obviously also in Lombardy. We know that many candidates are looking for every useful vote possible, especially in periods of massive absenteeism from the polls such as in recent years. Few political forces, perhaps none, include our passion in their programs, but at the same time they are willing to sign documents prepared by our association. In the last election about 200 candidates signed a manifesto prepared by Federcaccia Nazionale on the precise mandate of President Massimo Buconi, obviously in a transversal way to the political forces, with the exclusion of the 5Stelle movement which turned out to be the most voted political force.
Also this year our Association will behave in the same way, trying to bring attention to serious and practicable proposals the commitment of many candidates. Not only that, the manifesto will be sent to all the provincial sections which, in their own territory, will have the task of having the candidates of their colleges sign it. Once again then, from Federcaccia clear facts and not words. However, it is out of place to read these days on some social media how the name of Federcaccia is alongside that of PD, guilty of having formed an electoral alliance with the Greens, who would have the abolition of hunting in their program, thus accusing our association of going hand in hand with our main enemies.
Irrefutable proof would be a photograph of our national president Buconi with Enrico Letta, precisely secretary of the PD. In essence, and of this we have more than one suspicion, this operation of forced enlistment of Federcaccia in the PD was unfortunately born within our world, by a hunting association that would aim in this way to increase its membership at the expense of Federcaccia's. In short, the usual ignoble trifles that many hunters have taken the bait, forcing, so to speak, our association to publish the photographs of our President with representatives of all parties of the constitutional arc, Movimento5 Stelle always excluded together with the Greens. From Salvini to Fiocchi di Brothers of Italy, senators, honorable to regional presidents to aldermen of every political color. But does it seem normal to you to go so low?
Federcacciatori friends, dedicate yourself to your dogs, they need to get them back into shape, the huts must be cleaned, documents and weapons must be checked, forget about certain nonsense! Does it seem correct for a manager of a hunting association to use these meannesses for a handful of cards? In recent years, the top management of Federcaccia Nazionale have obviously worked closely with all political forces, in a transversal way, also with Environment Ministers who with all force have tried to put us in a corner. We would also like to point out to those who hatched this staging that in the Regions administered by the PD, we do not know if with the support of the greens, hunting does not go so badly, starting from Emilia Romagna and Tuscany which, if you remember, in times of lockdown for example, it was much more elastic than ours, allowing ample range of movement to hunters.
Federcaccia will make public the name of those candidates who have signed our manifesto, then the hunters citizens will vote according to their conscience, given that the present times are plagued by many other problems, some of which we have perhaps not even framed well, than hunting. We would like our subject to be framed objectively, with foresight, with intellectual honesty, skills now reduced to a flicker in many bureaucratic apparatuses that would therefore need a firm stance on the part of politics (source: FIDC Brescia-Cacciapensieri).
