The flood in Italy and the debate on the European law “Restoration Nature Act” or “Nature Law”
The cynical and cheating Fate wanted the approval of the " Nature Law ", the one which would like the rivers not to be touched, to correspond with violent floods in Northern Italy which were avoided precisely thanks to the regulation of their course which the law would like to forbid. An activity that man has carried out since the times of the Sumerians and the ancient Egyptians would be prohibited because it would prevent the "restoration of the natural course of the rivers".
Let us remember that this law would require 20% of the Union territory to return to the wild, but this also means prohibiting, for a large part of a scarce territory, maintenance and hydrogeological protection activities. In a country crossed by mountains, let landslides, even large ones, upset the orography, or let torrential waterways flow freely even when harmful. The Law of Nature, to be clear, would have prevented the birth of Venice, a miracle of man wrested from the sea and the swamp.
The PD voted in favor of the law. Yet if there have been disasters in Emilia Romagna and there have not been in Veneto, it is precisely because the former, governed by the PD, carried out the safety works and the creation of the lamination tanks very roughly, while the latter instead he completed them on time.
The law seems to have been written in Brussels on the basis of the great rivers of Central Europe, not the drinkable and tumultuous Italian waterways, where letting the river make its own way means sacrificing arable land if it goes well; if it goes bad, it cancels human vitae. Among other things, we talk, often inappropriately, about climate change and about preventive or damage-reducing measures for the same: dams are not water reserves necessary both in periods of drought and to regulate rivers when there are the floods.
We now have an ideology in command that protects any species, except European man, who instead seems mistreated and destined for extinction. Don't thousand-year-old cities, like those of the Po Valley, and the works that created them, have the same dignity as a beaver building its own dam? Or is man, especially European, always bad, even when he acts in his own territory? Thousands of years spent to make now fertile plains healthy and malaria-free will have to be thrown to the wind because a Brussels bureaucrat wants it that way. I hope you are all ready for this.
A stupid European law will force Italian citizens to live in uncertainty and unhealthiness, all with the support of the left and, I'm sorry, of a patrol of centrists who allowed the approval of the law, despite, in theory, they said they were against it. Yet in Europe half of agriculture is in revolt against the stupid rules of the European Union which want to sacrifice our primary sector to make us import everything from abroad.
The balance between man and nature is not achieved by driving out the former, but by achieving a fair coexistence between agricultural activities and nature. However, it seems that the maximalism of those who have never seen a canal or a stable is destined to win.
