Two referendums
Bolek: “That would be Austria’s exit from the EU”
Two opposing referendums are currently running in Austria, each of which can be answered with yes or no. You can either sign the one that asks whether you are in favor of Austria leaving the EU. Or the one where you are asked whether you are against it.
These two referendums have been open for signatures for several weeks. Referendum co-initiator Werner Bolek comments: "Several tens of thousands of people have signed so far. 64 percent of them voted YES to leaving the EU and 36 percent voted YES to remaining in the EU. If these were not two opposing referendums, but an official referendum, then the result would be Austria's exit from the EU."
However, nobody in Austrian politics dares to ask this question. Bolek: "The initiators of such a referendum probably know what the outcome would be. That's why there are always only surveys with small samples on the EU, but never a real referendum. That's why we now have two opposing referendums, which to a certain extent represent such a referendum."
These two referendums will now run for many months, and the figure announced today is the current interim status of both petitions.
