Overview
- The mayor’s recommendation follows a NOERR legal opinion that the petition lacks a sufficient funding proposal.
- The city’s legal office had earlier advised a citizen‑friendly stance and deemed the petition admissible.
- Organisers collected about 40,000 signatures, of which roughly 23,000 count due to the petition’s cassatory classification.
- The valid signatures still meet the quorum of about 21,500 required for consideration.
- Officials estimate a financing shortfall of at least €11.4 million even under optimistic assumptions, while the Greens say they will vote for admissibility.
