The standoff continues over the bill to reform the hunting law, Law 157 of 1992, a measure currently under review by the Agriculture Committee of the Chamber and already approved by the Senate. On one side, the opposition has submitted over one million amendments to Bill 1552. On the other, the agricultural sector, particularly affected by wildlife, has confirmed its support for the reform project during hearings before parliamentary committees.

One million amendments from the opposition
“We have submitted 1 million amendments to the hunting bill. One million reasons to oppose the government’s reckless project, which does not intend to regulate hunting but to devastate animals and nature. Because when a law endangers our country’s natural heritage, saying ‘NO’ is not enough. We must do everything possible to stop it.” This was stated in a video published on the M5S social channels by Movement parliamentarians Sergio Costa, Alessandro Caramiello, Carmen Di Lauro, Ilaria Fontana, Gisella Naturale, and Susanna Cherchi, together with representatives of associations Alessandro Polinori (LIPU), Dante Caserta (WWF Italy), Annamaria Procacci (ENPA), and Massimo Vitturi (LAV).
For the PD, the measure is wrong in method and substance
On the same wavelength, the Democratic Party has submitted only suppressive amendments to the reform of the hunting law approved by the Senate, explaining that “for us the measure is unamendable, wrong both in method and substance.” “Law 157/1992 – explained the PD members of the Agriculture Committee of the Chamber Antonella Forattini, Stefania Marino, Nadia Romeo, Andrea Rossi, Stefano Vaccari – was the result of a long dialogue among all stakeholders, a political compromise capable of reconciling biodiversity protection, agricultural production, and regulating hunting activity. This reform, on the contrary, is a unilateral initiative of the majority, coming from Palazzo Chigi without any consultation.”

Reform essential instead for farmers
On the opposite front, agricultural organizations were heard in the Agriculture Committee on the bill. “This must be the legislature that reforms Law 157/92, farmers can no longer wait.” This was stated bluntly by Cia-Italian Farmers during the hearing at the Chamber.
Cia Italian Farmers: wildlife is a national emergency
“Wildlife – added Cia – is no longer a marginal issue but a national emergency that threatens agricultural production, business income, citizen safety, and territorial control. After more than thirty years, the current legislation can no longer respond to the profound changes that have occurred in agriculture, environment, and wildlife. The reform therefore represents an unavoidable step to build a truly effective wildlife management system, recognizing equal dignity to environmental needs and productive interests, listening to those who live and protect the territory every day. It is necessary to stop the uncontrolled proliferation of ungulates, starting with the over 2 million wild boars present in Italy, responsible for about 80% of agricultural damage and hundreds of road accidents every year.”
