The Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, has chosen in the late afternoon of today, Wednesday 24 February 2021, i undersecretaries of their own government. With an acceleration invoked by the premier and his right-hand man Roberto Garofoli, the representatives of the political forces that support the government sent the list of names today. The main choice is that of Franco Gabrielli, Chief of Police, called to lead the authority delegated to the Secret Services. Among the 39 “political” undersecretaries there are 11 M5s exponents, 9 from the Lega, 6 from Forza Italia, 6 from the Democratic Party, 2 from Italia viva, 1 Democratic Center, 1 + Europe, 1 Leu, 1 Noi with Italy.
In the case of Ministry of Agriculture which has to do directly with hunting, the appointments of the undersecretaries were two. The first is that of Gian Marco Centinaio (Lega), former holder of this department during the Conte I government. It was his request to bring the hunting activity back under the aegis of the Ministry and not that of the Environment.
His words of 2019 are encouraging for hunters"Today, hunting must not be seen as the enemy of the environment, I think that hunters are the first friends of the environment, of the protection of the landscape and of agricultural areas, and the message that should be passed on to those who are Rome decides with me, it is precisely to outline a certain balance on all sides when dealing with specific issues such as hunting". The other appointment is that of Francesco Battistoni (Forza Italia): in 2010 he was councilor for agricultural policies for the Lazio Region, making headlines last November for the request to authorize hunting in the red areas.
