Caserta buffalo farmers block the Domiziana: disruption to traffic

- breeders bufalini del Casertano, che da oltre un anno protestano contro il piano della Regione Campania di eradicazione della brucellosis e della Tbc, hanno occupato con i trattori la statale Domiziana tra i comuni di Castel Volturno and Mondragone. Many problems for traffic, almost blocked. The Carabinieri and the State Police are on site.

The breeders, represented by the Joint Coordination whose spokesperson is Gianni Fabbris, complain that the regional plan has led in recent years to the slaughter of over 140 thousand buffalo, of which only a little more than 1% were found to be truly sick by post-mortem analyses, and to the closure of 400 buffalo farms with 5000 jobs lost.

Without the new plan they will not remove the blockade

Farmers announce they will not lift the blockade until the order is implemented voted unanimously by Parliament, which proposes to "requalify" the Campania regional plan on brucellosis and tuberculosis on the basis of the community legislation and the European petition presented a few weeks ago.

The measure would thus guarantee the overcoming and resolution of some critical issues such as self-control, the opening of a shared discussion table, the vaccination, milk traceability, land development works.
