"Maskarada, that is what the Council of Gipuzkoa and the Hunting Federation are representing"
- The Federation of Hunters of Gipuzkoa has called hunters to strike to "push" the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa. The environmental group Naturkon has denounced that hunters' arguments are fraud and has provided data: In ten years, the Deputy has helped the Federation with EUR 1,768,567.
“Does anyone still believe that hunting has been persecuted and attacked?” says Naturkone. The ecologist group has pointed out that the Provincial Council grants the Federation a nominal grant of EUR 120,000 annually “without the need for a sea bream or any explanation” and “from the nature conservation budget”. In addition to this amount, the EUR 80,000 aid is granted annually to the Federation for the payment of partridges and pheasants who die in hunting competitions. “These birds are released before the game tournaments to refine the goal.”
In particular, Naturkone has explained the public money that the Deputy has given to the Gipuzkoa Hunting Federation between 2010 and 2019, and has denounced that the Federation lies when they say that they put the money out of their pocket and do not let them catch any wild boar.
