Hunting and the art of cooking with game are part of our centuries-old cultural tradition that we cannot accept being canceled by a PD-NCD government hostage of parliamentarians with a clear anti-hunt animal matrix.
Shooting in the heap by generalizing and blaming all the parliamentarians indiscriminately for the approval of these deleterious amendments to law 157/92 for wanting to hide or not wanting to find the culprits is too easy, not selective but also not very correct method that offends those who still politically, he seriously tries to defend hunting and its related industries.
For the sake of reporting and transparency, but also to remind those who pretend to forget the truth about what happened this summer during the process of approving the modification of the Law 157 / 92 with the famous DL 91 which later became law no. 116 I take the liberty of doing some history by attaching some press releases that were published at the end of July in the press and social media immediately after approval. Furthermore, I would like to legitimately recall what the behavior of the parliamentarians of the Northern League was regarding the famous decree law 91 which today has become law 116.
As the Northern League we have worked and tried to warn politicians and hunting associations, with humility and without presumption but simply by showing all our concerns with technical reasons, exposing the risks that were being envisaged by going to amend articles (art.13 and art. 21) of 157/92 that no legislation and not even the European Commission was asking us to modify. However, we did not stop at press releases and formal warnings but pragmatically we consciously voted against the DL 91 both in the appointed committees and in the two halls of the parliament and we also presented concrete and constructive proposals to try with precise and punctual technical reasons, to make people understand that what was being done would lead to certain damage to the hunting activity and to the economy of the country.
Unfortunately, our amendments and odds presented first in committee and later in the classroom, accompanied by decisive and clear interventions by the Hon. Borghesi and Grimoldi in the chamber and by Senators Arrigoni, Candiani and Council in the Senate (all public and documentable acts) were of no use. We then add that our municipal councilors have become promoters in many municipalities in Brescia to have all the parliamentarians approved and then delivered an odg asking them to review the text of Legislative Decree 91, warning them of the danger and responsibility of approving a text that would have created considerable damage to the Italian economy and seriously undermined the centuries-old tradition of roccoli and therefore consequently hunting from the hut with decoy birds.
Today, after a few months, it is with disappointment and regret but not with astonishment that we see that our forecasts, on the underhanded and not too veiled intentions but artfully studied by the Minister for the Environment and by some animal rights and anti-hunt parliamentarians, are proving to be well founded. and certain. As a result of this change, as we have denounced, the regions are effectively emptied of decision-making autonomy and competences by centralizing power in the hands of the government and Ispra, on the one hand the desire to eliminate the capture of decoy birds with roccoli is reconfirmed. (I remember the recent warnings of the government to Lombardy and Emilia Romagna) and on the other hand, with the modification of article 21 of 157/92 (despite no sentence or even legislation had ever requested it) consumption in public places of small game causing enormous damage to the business economy of Italian restaurateurs.
Unfortunately, beyond the sad story that led to the crazy reality in which we find ourselves today, we believe we must look to the future and therefore once again through the Hon. Borghesi Stefano the Northern League has already filed a parliamentary question with Minister Galletti to ask him how it intends to make up for and correct the serious regulatory errors.
