Hunting in Lombardy: the TAR suspends the capture of decoy birds at record speed; Marracci, “the President of the Lombardy Tar, a true record holder”.
Until now, no one knew the very fast President of the IV section of the Lombardy TAR who suspended the Deliberation of the Lombardy Regional Council which regulated the capture of live decoys for the current hunting season not even 24 hours after the filing of the appeal against this provision. A true record holder, a record that would be so beautiful if it was equaled by Justice in general also in other sectors in our opinion much, much more important for the community than the specious exceptions raised by anti-hunt associations that preach in bad faith in the total awareness of to do it.
Not only that: the President limited himself to resorting to the usual phrase "unheard of altera parte", that is, making use of the possibility provided for by the regulations in force on administrative justice to decide for himself without even hearing the parties involved (eight provinces and the trade associations ritually cited) and without even meeting the Council Chamber.
Evidently, the judge will have recognized a "serious and irreparable damage", as the formulas of Manzoni's memory recite, forgetting that the captures have been in progress since the third decade of September and that therefore, even if the serious damage had never been real, it would have long worn out.
But it does not end here: the council chamber for the discussion on the merits, listen, listen, has been set for November 20, that is when the migration of the Turdids will start its final phase.
Which is to say: dear Region, a good month or so useful for the purposes of catching pebbles and cesene has in any case been sunk. A shining example of brilliant speed in contrast to the regional provision, on the other hand well balanced with the competent Ministry, with ISPRA, with the European offices and with those of the Provinces: not even 24 hours to suspend a provision of such careful preparation.
A monochromatic decree that delegitimizes the attention paid by people who have worked in compliance with the law, concerned only with its respect. Res melius perpensa. In short, a clearly pre-packaged monochromatic decree.
Who still has the guts to call it justice?
