Despite further access problems to the Bundestag server ever extended subscription period expired yesterday - nearly 53,000 have the basic income-petition previously signed online! As the archive logs basic income can continue to be by postcard or fax but not e-mail, co-signed. And for about three weeks, during the entire duration of the parliamentary review process. An exact end date is not determined. The archive basic income provides appropriate templates ready.
The number of Mitzeichner plays but - contrary to other reports, the talk of an automatic entry into the Bundestag or similar -.. Not really matter. It is true that the petition committee (made up of 25 members of parliament composed) imposed in its procedural principles, and, in any case, to hear public those petitions which should be reached within the first three weeks after publication 50,000 "electronic signatures". This was not achieved here. There is also a right of veto : A hearing then will not take place if say two-thirds of the members of the Committee against.
Nevertheless, there may be a hearing anyway, so the press secretary of the Committee service in a phone call, but never in the Bundestag as such, but in a side room before the Petitions Committee. Be invited to the petitioners who may present their case again publicly. The whole is then live on www.bundestag.de streamed to the World Wide Web. If and when it comes in the case of basic income-petition to a hearing, am not yet fixed, the spokesman further (who does not want his name to be called, because this - was only deputies reserved - According to a directive).
When asked whether this petition fall of the votes forth out of the frame, it was said that it is not comparable with earlier. For a couple of years ago only to have changed the modalities of participation and introduced the personal online registration. In this respect could not'll excluded that had previously coordinated a person more than once. With my words: So the result is far more important when so many have taken the registration hurdle! It shows that the basic income is a contemporary idea that is on resonance. Even with our politicians?
