Referendum: majority votes against dragnet law
The ink of the new law was barely dry when a group of students forced the government’s hand to hold a consultative referendum on this new law through a citizen’s initiative. The referendum was held on 21 March 2018 and more than six million people voted, of which a majority voted againstInformation on the outcome of the referendum the new dragnet law. This was a major victory. The message was crystal clear: voters wanted a better law.
Bits of Freedom doesn’t want to get rid of the entire law, but certain critical elements must definitely be improved. Towards the referendum we organised a campaign and explained extensively what the five major points of improvement were and why you had to vote against the dragnet law.
