The election to the Chamber of Deputies of Michele Vittoria Brambilla, champion of animal rights e fair opponent of hunting, had made people argue. The former minister had obtained the place in Parliament after having founded the Animalist Movement and having sided with the ranks of Forza Italia, thus also obtaining some "unconscious" vote of the hunters. An unenviable fact has now been discovered on the Brambilla regarding the first months of the legislature.
Absenteeism is not a recent problem and the animal rights deputy has the greatest number of absences ever. In fact, Brambilla took part in only one of the 220 electronic votes, the one in which it was necessary to choose whether or not to trust the Conte government. His absenteeism rate therefore reached 100% (he "stopped" at Present in several = 99,55%) and for the moment there seem to have been no valid explanations to justify the non-attendance.
The absence record is negative and cannot go unnoticed. The leader of the Animal Movement is the first signatory of a series of legislative designs which have to do above all with the protection of animals. One of the most curious concerns the rabbits which, according to Brambilla, should be recognized as companion animals and whose meat should not be sold and consumed.
