La petizione contro la LGBT è stata approvata e firmata in una settimana?
Perché la contro-petizione è stata approvata e aperta alla firma nel giro di pochi giorni, mentre di solito ci vogliono diversi mesi prima che una petizione venga approvata e aperta alla firma?
So we are already starting the tinfoil hat theories?
Reasonable explanation for this: Petitions need to go through commissions that decide whether a proposed petition meets the criteria to be opened for signature (if you look on the petitions websites you can actually see a ton of petition that get rejected for various reason: A petition to open a KFC in Luxembourg (yes, that’s a real thing) got rejected for obvious reasons (it’s not up to parliament to decide whether KFC comes or not to Lux.
Depending on the type of work, a commissions tend to meet in regular intervals (e.g. once per quarter, once per month, once per week) or as needed (there may be periods with no business and periods where commissions would need to meet daily or even hourly).
Considering that petitions tend to get published in bulk once per month or so, I’d be willing to guess that the commission meets once per month.
Obviously, if you introduce a petition around the time the commission’s meeting is scheduled, their staff will not have reviewed the proposed petition and a decision on its admissibility will be taken at the next meeting. If they happen to meet only once per month, you end up with wait times of several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are lucky and submit the petition e.g. a week before the next meeting and it gets included in that meeting, you are looking at only one week.
