It has not been long - and still sometimes continues to happen - since our Federation was accused of having betrayed the hunters for having entered into an agreement together with other initials, which with hunting intended as a sampling had nothing to do with Legambiente. We are pleased to discover that this form of ideological prevention against this latest association which, this must be acknowledged, at least among the animal-environmentalist ones is the least radical seems to be no longer valid today. Why do we say this? To explain it it is necessary to do some history of ATC Ancona 1.
In the last three renewals of the management committee of the Sector we have witnessed the absolute transformation. The representative Arci Caccia elected as the representative of the hunters ten years ago, 5 years later he re-nominates for the renewal of the Committee, but is rejected by the assembly and is forced to leave ... but for a short time. In fact, the day after the vote, the Province of Ancona nominates him, by chance himself, as its representative! It sounds like the story of the cat you take out the door and come back in through the window.
More time passes, the hoax of the numbers of Arci Caccia emerges at a regional level and with the principle of representativeness their presence is reduced to a minimum within the assembly. But for the poor champions of the "just hunt" the misfortunes do not end there: the Del Rio decree is cruel and with the Provinces, it also destroys the stronghold of the "comrades". Now the matter becomes very serious. The last hope of being someone and aspiring to a chair that could all belong to anyone except them, ends. There seems to be only a pile of ash left. But be careful. The ash evokes in the minds of the champions of popular sovereignty a mythological figure: the Phoenix! So here is the brilliant idea: the change of the jacket! But not just any jacket. After all, when things are done they must be done well! And so ours does not wear that of the competition, but even that of the "enemy": the hunter becomes an environmentalist!
That's right. Legambiente nominates “the arch-hunter” as its only representative, and with this example of consistency on the part of both associations, our very fond of the armchair achieves its goal. But consistency is a rare commodity. And now we show it to you. We are still in the Atc Ancona 1. After the nomination of the committee, the first council meets for the nominations. The representative Federcaccia is elected president. The vice-presidency is rightly proposed to farmers, represented with two members of Coldiretti and one of the CIA.
What do the two associations do to demonstrate their commitment to defense and protection of the interests of their members? They decline the position and do much more: they propose to guarantee a correct management of the territory that takes into account the requests of their members who? But it is obvious: the figure who best interprets this thought cannot be other than the representative of… Legambiente!
Yes, you read that correctly. At this point we give up, thinking that in the face of such an attitude all that remains is to rely on the advice of the great sages. And between clear support and subdued votes, only the representative Federcaccia abstained, here our chameleon, on an agricultural proposal, was elected vice-president with the approval of the other hunting associations present (Liberacaccia and Italcaccia). We leave any free comment to the reader ...
Now we ask ourselves: but Coldiretti, who had the courage to self-suspend himself from the Marche Atc in the previous mandate, effectively leaving almost 70% of the farmers in the region without representation and today to strengthen his position he resigns from the vice-presidency, what interests category pursues? And the requests made insistently for authorization to kill any species of ungulate that occurs on their land, who will they ask to put them into practice, to the Legambiente members?
And the latter, do they know they are represented by a hunter? We would be glad that they finally found nothing strange in this, but we allow ourselves to have strong doubts. And you?
