The registration week for three referendum starts on Monday. “Orf household live”, “Autovol request: Down costs!” And the initiative “Stop the Volksgebren enrichment”.
“The referendum against the company with referendum wants to limit the abuse of this important democratic instrument,” says a broadcast. A control among the citizens should not be used to make money.
The referendum of the lower Austrian community staff Manuel Plöchl has been launched. “The number of referendums has increased enormously in recent decades. The same people always have the same people who are not about important worries, but about money. Important issues such as the request of the Autovol suffer from it and we taxpayers have to reward that,” Plöchl said in a broadcast.
More referendum, less success
In fact, considerably more referenda have been started in Austria because they can be digitally supported. At the same time, the success rate fell. If a referendum reaches at least 100,000 signatures and must therefore be treated in the National Council, the initiators can get 13,686 euros to cover the costs. The registration and entering the costs of around 3,400 euros in the previous year.
The registration week for two further referendum will also start on Monday 31 March. The “Autovolks Request – Down” is supported by the club and requires fewer costs for drivers. Behind “ORF Budget Tax No” is the referendum, Robert Marschall, who tried to run without success as a federal president in 2022 and then disputed the elections. Until now, he was initiative of an agreement to be mandatory and the referendum “abolishes the law of vaccination legislation”.
According to a government decision, the Burget tax of the ORF is 15.30 a month by the end of 2029.
