Originally it was to be held in Tanzania, but unfortunately the Arusha conference centre will not be ready in time.

"This vote is an insult to beekeepers, science, and the vast majority of citizens. We are witnessing a deliberate abandonment of our environment in favor of outdated agricultural model that destroys all living things."

Sto ricercando, tra le migliaia di messaggi arrivati, la persona che tempo indietro mi aveva scritto in privato per fornirmi tutte le info (professionali) sulla creazione di una associazione. Era una persona preparata e con esperienza nel settore.
Gli dissi: “ci sentiamo più avanti perché adesso sono molto impegnato per la nuova veste grafica su #Bologna5”.
L’argomento era nell’aria proprio perchè la Commissione Trasporti mi consigliava la creazione di una semplice associazione per avere diritto e speranza nell’essere ricevuto dai Deputati in sede di Commissione.
Io sono pregno di materiale, prove, dati, ricevute, fatti, “segreti” della lobby, fiscalità creativa e a sentimento, testimonianze dirette, ecc. e ho necessità di fornirle alle autorità competenti in materia.
[Nella giusta maniera come mi suggerisce l’avvocato].
Poi è arrivato dicembre, numerosi impegni [calcolate che sono da solo in tutto, non ho nessuno alle spalle come per esempio le cooperative e i potenti sindacati con le loro macchine da guerra organizzative]…
Sono solo, isolato e con meno capacità di “movimento” ma motivato senza timore.
Adesso che il taxi è sistemato, è tornato al momento di riprendere l’argomento.
Fatti vivo di nuovo, amico, ora ho bisogno del tuo aiuto tecnico per formare questa ipotetica “Associazione #Bologna5”.
Grazie 😊💪❤️🚕
