Paragraph 37
 

The same Article provides for access to the public media free of charge. It has to be kept in mind that the right to initiate the collection of signatures is vested on everyone. There is no need for wider public support. Free access to public media in a manner and quantity provided for in the draft law would lead to a high level of initiatives without real chance to have 20,000 supporters only to get access to the media for free. As e.g. only two or three persons might present the initiative, the public media would be overburdened.
