People’s request against referendum fails at 100,000 hurdle-Diepresse.com
The « car request » also failed at the hurdle of 100,000 signatures. The initiative against the ORF budget tax counted enough supporters for treatment in the National Council.
Only one of three current referendum has skipped 100,000 signatures for treatment in the National Council. 119,368 supporters count against the ORF-Household levy. On the other hand, a rather unusual referendum that campaigned for an enrichment ban for referendum initiators and an « carpentry » have failed.
The registration period for the three initiatives started on March 31 and ended on Monday evening. The « Autovolks request: Down! », Which campaigned for a reduction in taxes, received signatures 58.201, as the Interior Ministry announced. The initiative against the enrichment with referendum came to 33,185 signatures.
Two referendums fail despite the alliance
The Lower Austrian community employee Manuel Plöchl, who had launched the anti-area request, had criticized that more and more private individuals would discover referendum as « business idea ». Finally, initiators receive successful referendums in the cost contributions made in five times. However, the failure of the two referendums could not prevent an alliance between Plöchl and Gerhard Lustig from the Autovolks request.
The referendum « ORF budget delivery no » was more successful. It was initiated by Robert Marschall, who was already responsible for numerous referendum. He was the most successful with initiatives against covid measures. (APA)
