Federcaccia Toscana takes stock for the year 2011 that has just ended and declares its future good intentions for a turning point in 2012.
The Regional Council of Federcaccia Toscana takes stock, not only economic, of a difficult year: significant results have been achieved even if important objectives remain on the agenda, strongly re-launched to the attention of institutions and social forces in the platform for the new year.
A year lived intensely, without surrendering to the difficulties: those of the country and those, not always “necessary”, which rained down on the head of the Tuscan hunters. This was recalled by the president of the Tuscan Federcaccia, Moreno Periccioli, in the extensive report with which he introduced the work of the regional council at the end of the year, the one traditionally in charge of budgets.
The economic one, unanimously approved, shows the accounts in order of an Association accustomed to carefully manage the resources given to them by the members, able to cope without backtracking, even in a situation, such as the current one, generally characterized by the negative sign .
For the formulation of the political and associative one, the President recalled some salient passages: the two to zero in the appeals made necessary against the stubborn persecution in the case of the seizure of the warnings; that together with the Tuscany Region, against the prevarications of Ispra regarding the withdrawal of the finch in derogation (remember? "... I do not have the data and therefore the opinion is negative"), the successes obtained with the maintenance of the hunting calendar in a situation perturbed that has seen the mutilation of times and species in many regions, the construction of a qualified network of alliances around the hunting world, the work undertaken to scientifically substantiate the positions of hunters.
Then illustrating the platform developed by the management team, Periccioli underlined the significance of relaunching the political and associative initiative at all levels, a real keystone for facing the future. An agenda that articulates the objectives on a regional level but also on a national level, where the reform of the hunting law remains central.
A subject on which political forces have too often exercised demagogy; the real risk that this could happen again is now reinforced by the prospect of a year under the banner of a long electoral campaign.
Preventing this from happening requires a strong initiative by the Association at all levels, starting from the national one: it is essential to call the Political Forces to confront and make a pronouncement on the Federcaccia platform.
At the regional level, the strengthening of biodiversity management and protection policies must be properly integrated with the strenuous defense of the rights of hunters: duties, but also rights.
To give legs to the proposals in the field, the Council of Federcaccia Toscana has launched the project for a stronger Association, capable of improving the quality of services to members and representation in institutions and society.
A concrete complex of organizational measures and interventions on the "distribution network" of products and services, the result of a work that has heavily engaged the management team and which has received the keen appreciation and approval of all directors.
