  • What I mean is the population that’s living in wherever region of the world this is, get to decide whatever they want to do with this, we shouldn’t keep or preserve an old building "as is"just because it has history, history is for books, buildings are for the material needs of the people in the present

    Edit: I think I wrote this comment poorly so here’s a better explanation to how I feel - I dont care about a building history, if this one burns and is replaced by a playground, it’s a much better use than maintaining this old house just because its a testament of the past, especially considering its context. People hung up on the past can take a picture of it, or make a small sized replica to have in a museum.








  • For those wondering what happens next

    https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works_en

    The people who created the initiative have 3 months to submit the results, then some kind of authority has three months to check them and confirm the validity of the initiative, then the people whi created the initiative have AGAIN three months to officially submit it.

    ONLY THEN they will be able to :

    Within 1 month

    meet with representatives of the Commission so they can explain the issues raised in the initiative in detail.

    Within 3 months

    opportunity to present the initiative at a public hearing at the European Parliament. Parliament may also hold a debate in a full (plenary) session, which could lead to it adopting a resolution related to the issue.

    Within 6 months

    The Commission will spell out what action (if any) it will propose in response to the initiative, and its reasons for taking (or not taking) action. This response will be in the form of a communication formally adopted by the College of Commissioners and published in all official EU languages. The crearors of the initiative will meet with the representatives of the Commission who will explain in more detail its decision.
