HUNT / DISPUTE. After the stop to the UDC and PDL measure, the "lumbards" presented a bill.
In the Region a real political war has broken out on the question of hunting in derogation (the possibility of killing in small quantities, protected species such as starling, finch, brambling, pipit, prispolone and frosone). Every year the Region prepares an ad hoc law (despite the sword of Damocles of the EU sanctions) and this year the law on derogations had been prepared by the regional councilors Bettoni and Quadrini of the UDC and Saffioti (Pdl): but on July 14 in the Agriculture Committee she had not gone through the abandonment of the classroom of the Northern League.
And just the day before yesterday, the League presented its own bill (also signed by Carlo Saffioti) intended to undermine that of the UDC. It is discussed on the 7th in the agriculture committee and on the 14th of September in the regional council (with validity within a week, after publication in the Burl). The attitude of the League has sent Gianmarco Quadrini from Brescia into a rage, speaking of "low politics", of "squalid tricks to put one's stamp on the law, for obvious electoral purposes". Harsh words also from Gianantonio Girelli (Pd), another opposition councilor from Brescia: «We supported the law on exceptions but due to internal quarrels in the majority the discussion was skipped. Lega and Pdl on hunting should stop being the first in the class because they proved to be donkeys, not facing emergencies, in contempt of thousands of hunters ».
The League: "Our proposal takes into account all the indications contained in the report of the commission of experts set up by the regional council - explain the leagues elected in the Bresciano Alessandro Marelli, Renzo Bossi and Pierluigi Toscani - we therefore tried not to repeat the errors that have made the previous measures attackable by the judgments of the European Union. The League has never abandoned the hunting world, but has avoided carrying out demagogic measures that would not have had the possibility of reaching the finish line and with which we would have had the certainty of immediate community sanctions or sentences of annulment. The bill that had previously reached the commission (that of the UDC, ed) could not find our support because it was instrumental to the purpose of perceiving an immediate consensus without the possibility of reaching a real solution to the problem ".
Furious Quadrini: «The League thinks that the electoral consent of the hunters is their exclusive. I think this proposal is a clumsy way of putting a patch on a hole made in July, when the PDL and the Lega had no intention of presenting a hunting provision in derogation. This is why the UDC has presented its own bill, thinking of hunters ”. Girelli (Pd), on the other hand, invites us to get out of this race against time that occurs every year at the beginning of the hunting season and accuses the Region and the Ministry: "Every year we find ourselves working in an emergency on the exceptions due to the lack of clarity. national level, through the fault of the Ministry but also of the Region which must have the courage to make a framework law by mediating with environmental associations. It is time to stop promising seas and mountains during the election campaign and then disregard the promises ». Precisely the lack of a law on exceptions and up-to-date and precise data on withdrawals "can lead to very high penalties from the European Union".
