"Rappresentare la Basilicata in una cerimonia così solenne è stato motivo di grande orgoglio.Dopo vent'anni, la nostra Regione è tornata a offrire l'olio destinato ad alimentare, per un intero anno, la lampada votiva di San Giovanni Gualberto, Patrono dei Carabinieri Forestali: un gesto che va oltre il suo valore simbolico e che testimonia il profondo legame della Basilicata con la tutela dell'ambiente, la spiritualità e il senso del servizio". Così, in una dichiarazione, la vicepresidente del Consiglio regionale della Basilicata Maddalena Fazzari (FdI), intervenendo a margine della celebrazione svoltasi presso l'Abbazia di Vallombrosa, in Toscana."La Basilicata è una terra ricca di boschi, aree protette e straordinarie risorse naturali. Per questo il ritorno della nostra Regione a Vallombrosa assume un significato ancora più profondo: significa riaffermare una cultura della responsabilità, della custodia del territorio e del rispetto del patrimonio ambientale che abbiamo il dovere di trasmettere alle nuove generazioni. Un ringraziamento particolare va all'Ufficio Foreste del Dipartimento Politiche Agricole della Regione Basilicata per l'attenzione posta al nostro patrimonio boschivo e paesaggistico".La vicepresidente dell'Assemblea lucana ha quindi rivolto un pensiero ai Carabinieri Forestali, a cui "va la gratitudine delle istituzioni e dei cittadini per il lavoro silenzioso e prezioso che svolgono ogni giorno nella difesa dei nostri boschi, nella prevenzione degli incendi, nella tutela della biodiversità e nella salvaguardia del patrimonio ambientale. Il loro impegno rappresenta un presidio fondamentale di legalità e sicurezza per l'intero Paese. Un sentito ringraziamento va al Comandante della Regione Carabinieri Forestale 'Basilicata', colonnello Maria Gabriella Martino e a tutto il reparto forestali che operano in regione con grande spirito di abnegazione. A Vallombrosa abbiamo portato anche le nostre eccellenze gastronomiche, valorizzate dalla bravura e competenza dell'Associazione regionale cuochi della Basilicata. Essere presenti oggi - ha concluso Fazzari - significa dare continuità a una tradizione che unisce fede, istituzioni e senso civico, ma anche ribadire che la Basilicata vuole essere protagonista nella difesa dell'ambiente e nella valorizzazione delle proprie eccellenze naturalistiche: è un patrimonio che appartiene a tutti e che abbiamo il dovere di custodire con responsabilità e visione".
