Petition for Referendum Gains Momentum

On Monday (March 31), the registration week for three popular initiatives begins. "NO to ORF Household Levy" by popular initiative expert Robert Marschall, the "Car Popular Initiative: Lower Costs!" and the initiative "Stop the Enrichment of Popular Initiatives!" are seeking supporters. An alliance has now been formed between the latter two.

Meeting of Popular Initiative Initiators

As stated in a press release, the initiators of the two initiatives have met to exchange views on their concerns. "Since I have been advocating for our concerns with my team, I have seen for myself how this can be abused. The really important initiatives can, in the worst case, be displaced by such profiteers," explained Gerhard Lustig from the Car Popular Initiative. Citizens' right to have a say should not be exploited for profit, "therefore we support the initiative against profiteering."

Lustig and the Lower Austrian municipal employee Manuel Plöchl, who initiated the anti-enrichment initiative, are now focusing on cooperation. This is intended to motivate even more people to support the two concerns, it was stated.
