Plzeň - According to the city hall, the proposal for a referendum on the construction of a giant building in Plzeň is missing 2,141 signatures, or 16 percent. Citizen associations need at least 13,339 signatures, which is ten percent of Plzeň's voters, to announce a local vote. According to Martin Marek, the representative of the activists who oppose the construction of a large complex of shops, offices, apartments, and recreational activities on the site of the demolished cultural house near the center, this is the biggest of three defects that they received a list of from the city hall today. "Some of the unrecognized signatures will be disputed by the activists," he told ČTK.
The proposal, according to the city hall, has three more formal defects. According to Marek, the addresses of two members of the preparatory committee are swapped. One of the eight members (it is enough for three members to submit a proposal for a public vote) has an address outside Plzeň. The city hall also wants to estimate the costs that a successful plebiscite would require. This information was also confirmed to ČTK by Roman Matoušek from the city hall. The activists will try to eliminate all the defects by Monday, when they want to submit the proposal for the referendum again.
