Containment and compensation
"Withdrawing a purely instrumental motion would have been an act of responsibility, an act that we asked the minority before the rejection of the document in the chamber. A purely pleonastic motion, which contained indications on what has already been done or planned. We have, in fact, detailed data, investments, number of containments, compensations, direct and indirect. No one denies the seriousness of the PSA, which is affecting 14 European countries, but it would be too easy to fight this virus with proclamations". Thus the regional councilor for Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests, Alessandro Beduschi, responding to the opposition's criticisms regarding swine fever.
The only vector of the disease
"The opposition - Beduschi adds - is doing its job. There are times when we should also be reasonable and unite in the critical issues. This is a national critical issue, it is an attack by the virus on the entire economy, especially that of Lombardy. Political speculation does not help". "The Lombardy Region is not late - Beduschi replies -, but it has done everything it had to do: from the beginning it has dictated important provisions for the containment and selection of the only vector of this disease, the wild boar, which has not been contained over the years".
The role of biosecurity
"The biosecurity of our farms - observes the Lombardy councilor - has increased. Politics must do its part, it can do better and will do more, but there is also man who must do his part. We have seen the probable human hand in the negligence of self-reporting a lack and a lack of attention in biosecurity that have caused infections in other farms". (Source LNews)
