The last elections in Lombardy
The recent regional elections recorded the worst voter turnout in the history of this important electoral appointment, but Lombard politics does not seem to want to grasp the serious alarm bell. Last week in Cacciapensieri we underlined with immense satisfaction how the hunting world went together to the polls and elected almost all the candidates we had indicated at the beginning of the electoral campaign. Indeed, the names we suggested were almost all placed among the first for the number of preferences collected. With immense regret, however, we have ascertained, reading the political reports of the main newspapers, that the names of these councilors have not been taken into consideration among possible candidates for the office of councilor or for other prestigious institutional positions.
The case of Floriano Massardi
The most striking case is that of Floriano Massardi, the most preferred in the ranks of the League, whose name has never been combined with that of a possible assignment, despite being in his second term. Then one wonders why people don't go to vote! The electorate expresses a clear and glaring signal but the secretariats of the parties ignore it, bypass it to satisfy logics unknown to ordinary people. Same story for Barbara Mazzali, she too, as we read in the news reports, is less and less involved in the totality of the councilor with each passing day. Surely the role of elected councilors could also be decisive in the Regional Council but the fact that the hot names for important roles do not correspond to the names of those who have been the most preferred really clashes too much. Surely the one who will be in charge of covering the role of agriculture councilor who, as we know, also has the delegation for hunting, will be a capable person given the importance of the delegation that impacts on the work of thousands of people linked to the agricultural world. Despite this we are sorry to witness this show light years away from the reality of things. Another topic, always staying on topic, we want to clarify immediately.
A well-defined figure
There has been talk in the past of wanting to entrust the delegation on hunting to a councilor, thus not creating a real and frankly absurd department, but an institutionally not well defined figure. We believe that this hypothesis is simply absurd and not to be practiced. Removing the hunting delegation from the Agriculture councilorship would mean marginalizing our subject, stripping it of any kind of value, relegating it to the corner of unimportant topics. A councilor for agriculture, aware instead of the importance of the hunting delegation, would instead be a formidable interlocutor, strong in the Giunta, in the Council and on the territory. We hunters remain attentive observers of what is happening, we are many, branched out across the territory, connected to basic institutions and we are not willing to tolerate any kind of marginalization.
