No, hunting is the government&#8217;s priority"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, a bit of clarity. Some people, upon reading the figures documented by the United Nations and climatologists, had become alarmed by the fact that the periodic and increasingly frequent waves of extreme heat are now costing Europeans thousands of lives and causing severe economic damage. But then came the clarifying words of the nation\u2019s second-highest-ranking official, Senate President Ignazio La Russa, who urged us not to worry because if a Caribbean-like climate arrives, \u201cit means we\u2019ll get used to it.\u201d So let\u2019s not worry if the government fails to produce an effective and actionable climate plan, if it implements funding measures that favor the use of fossil fuels, or if it slows down the ecological transition: \u201cwe just need to adapt.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the false alarms had been cleared up, the Meloni government then revealed one of its top priorities: a reform to be carried out by imposing an emergency timeline on Parliament. <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimabozza.it\/il-governo-meloni-a-caccia-di-guai\/\">Hunting<\/a>. Not the hunt for inefficiencies, waste, or energy mismanagement that have sent utility bills skyrocketing. No, <strong>the hunt for the animals that make us Europe\u2019s leader in biodiversity<\/strong>. And how to support it? <strong>With a law that allows hunting in the snow, in areas that have been protected until now, during extended hunting seasons<\/strong>, with the scientific community\u2019s opinions reduced to mere window dressing, <strong>and permitting the use of live animals as bait and night-vision goggles to give the hunted no respite<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senato.it\/leggi-e-documenti\/disegni-di-legge\/scheda-ddl?did=59294\">Bill 1552<\/a>, which the opposition calls the<strong>\u201cFree-for-All<\/strong>,\u201d is a threat to a balance that is already very fragile. So much so that the European Union, having previously condemned Italy for violating the directives governing hunting, has now issued an unusual alert to remind everyone that it is monitoring a situation fraught with potential conflicts with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mase.gov.it\/portale\/direttiva-habitat-\">Habitats Directive<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mase.gov.it\/portale\/direttiva-uccelli-\">Birds Directive<\/a>: Under the new bill, regions could authorize hunting activities during migration and breeding seasons. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what\u2019s truly surprising isn\u2019t the aggressive push to force through legislative changes, because that\u2019s essentially in the Meloni government\u2019s DNA. What is surprising is the anti-popular nature of this measure. For decades, there hasn\u2019t been a single poll supporting \u201cDoppietta Selvaggia.\u201d All surveys gauging Italians\u2019 attitudes on the matter point to <strong>growing disaffection with the practice of using lead to initiate a relationship with animals<\/strong>. These customs, which developed in an era when hunting helped many families make ends meet, now seem to most Italians like tribal rituals whose relevance is on par with that of cannibalism.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the broad opposition coalition finds a unifying cause in the fight against hunting deregulation, the right is divided. <strong>Michela Vittoria Brambilla<\/strong>, a member of the Chamber of Deputies from the Noi Moderati party, <strong>opposed the measure, noting that such a law would bring the referendum to ban hunting back into the spotlight<\/strong>. Also opposed were Senator Michaela Biancofiore, chair of the Noi Moderati caucus, and Rita Dalla Chiesa, a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Forza Italia. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only group that unanimously supports the deregulation of hunting is the gun lobby, which would undoubtedly benefit from an increase in firepower in Italy. Will that be enough to balance the government\u2019s budget ahead of the elections? <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neglecting climate action and lavishing incentives on the fossil fuel industry, the Meloni government is focusing its efforts on passing a reform that gives hunters more leeway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20144,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowscnaCw:productID":"","_app_feed_target":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1616,1617,1622,1618,1620],"tags":[1767,2272,2536],"class_list":["post-20132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals","category-biodiversity","category-italy","category-law","category-politics","tag-climate","tag-hunting","tag-hunting-bill"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The climate?
