Splinter party wants referendum for total ban on smoking

Paranoid hypochondriac to the total tobacco ban

The splinter party ÖDP (Ecological Democratic Party), which is for election in Bavaria never more than two percent of the votes will come in Bavaria initiate a referendum to introduce the total ban on smoking.

Bernhard Suttner, head of Mini Party formulated the goals of radical environmentalists as follows: "We want to maintain the strict Non smoking Protection Act and close the loophole for smoking clubs". Suttner seems to have noticed that the only reason Bavarian smoking ban before the Constitutional Court had stock, because it offered the possibility of smoking clubs.

Even the Süddeutsche Zeitung, which is often entered as a mouthpiece for the anti-smoking lobby in appearance, are of no great ÖDP opportunities to stop the referendum successfully. She called the head of the faction as "a little naive and old fashioned." He continued: "In any case, your ÖDP who feels obligated Christian, and green values, not about those off-road policy, which is considered essential if you want to have in the modern operating policy success."

Also on board the radical environmentalists, the boss does not even own a cell phone, which is Non smoking Initiative Munich, the popular action against the Bavarian Constitutional Court has failed. The anti-smoking little group had requested in its complaint to delete the clause of the smoking ban on smoking in clubs. With pithy words spoken by the boss of the anti-smoking, Ernst-Günther Krause why he followed the requirements of the faction, "" CSU and FDP make the poison spread health law. We do not accept. "

Politically, the ÖDP stands with her petition, however, quite alone. An SPD spokesman described the referendum as the ÖDP "an act of eco-democratic pomposity" and even the Greens are of the opinion that one should achieve a tightening of the smoking ban at parliamentary level.

Of the CSU, there is as yet no opinion. Even George "Schüttelschorsch" Schmidt, the father of the toughest smoking ban, the Republic and the main responsible for the failure of the CSU in the last election, behaves remarkably quiet.

Miriam greeting, General Secretary of the FDP, said that the population of Bavaria have already voted on the Bavarian smoking ban and that the punishment of the CSU in the last election: "As a result, they have spoken out against a too strict law and, therefore, FDP voted" then the FDP politician.

To successfully complete a petition in Bavaria, one needs 25,000 signatures in the first step, the second within two weeks then ten percent of the electorate of Bavaria.
