“The ricciai of Oristano have been in total uncertainty since last January”. This was reported by the regional councilor of the M5S Alessandro Solinas .
“From this year - explains the pentastellato exponent -, and until 2025 they will no longer be able to fish (the extension to the block expired in April), but still cannot access the indemnities. And the alternative activities to sea urchin fishing, decided at the same time as the stop, have not yet been defined. The step is necessary, after the approval of the directives for the publication of the notice of interest by Agris, so that the ricciai can receive the required compensation ".
"There is a month left until November 15 - he continues -, the date on which hedgehog fishing in Sardinia should have started. The Region cannot continue to fail to guarantee certainties regarding alternative projects".
The councilor presented a question to the councilor of Agriculture and asked that the compensation provided for the fishing stoppage be disbursed in a short time : "The resources are there and have already been committed - Solinas specifies - now it is the task of the Region to accelerate so that the Sardinian ricciai who until 2025 will have to give up their business to favor the repopulation of our seas should be aware of which alternative activities they will carry out in this period of time, and above all so that these workers can quickly receive the due compensation ".
