They’ve did it!
Yeah, 1,097,145 signatures. Well done.
Impressive how much signatures were collected in the last few days, but why didn’t they start sooner to call for signings for this?
They seem to be a french intiative and struggled to get attention in other parts of the EU. It took until last week for some bigger non-french online voices to come onboard and push the petition
It really is a challenge to get into the different public (media) spaces of the various EU member communities
I guess the closing deadline also gives it a sense of urgency and in nonfederated communities it could be that it becomes trending because so many people talk about it at the same time.
i apparently signed it last year, so it’s been on socials before.
Let’s goooo! This has gotten ~400.000 signatures just during lst 4 or 5 days.
Less than 70k to go now. We can get this over the finish line!
Site won’t load.
The EU official site hopefully does: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/
Heavy traffic due to it being massively shared online the right now, please leave a tab open and try again later the next 24h!
Seems to be gaining traction on Mastodon as well, this is under a post to remind people of the deadline:
If there really are 10-20k signatures added per hour we will reach it today :))
