Opposition starts collecting signatures against the Chinese university
Change language:
The National Election Office (NVI) on Wednesday said it has handed over the signature collection sheets to Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony for the planned referendums on the Hungarian campus of China’s Fudan University and on extending the eligibility period for jobless benefits.
The Kúria, Hungary’s supreme court, last week granted its approval to referendum questions aimed at preventing property from being transferred to Fudan University and at extending the job seekers’ benefit to a maximum 270 days.
Karácsony, the petitioner, requested 26,677 signature collection sheets for each question. One sheet has room for a maximum of 15 signatures, the NVI’s press department said.

The petitioner now has
120 days to gather 200,000 supporting signatures, which the NVI will then have 60 days to review.
I support the referendum against the Chinese university.
Excellent opportunity for the citizens to display opposition to the “barn”storming approach of Fidesz, who think they can do what they like and how they like, without Citizen consoltation.
Citizens through voting – NO – to this idiotic idea of a Chinese financed, controled and managed, Chinese “propaganda” breeding campus – by citizens – voting – NO – it will continue to place pressure on the Fidesz Party, that displays the massive concern in Hungary, the “growing” relationship Hungary has with China.
Opposing the chinese university is not the same as supporting the anti-Hungarian opposition.
