Closed 231 signatures

What the petition asks

I request a referendum regarding the proposed ban on the sale of new Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars by 2030. I think this referendum is crucial to ensure public opinion is considered in this significant transition, balancing environmental goals with economic and social impacts.
I think key points to be considered include the economic impact, environmental benefits, infrastructure readiness, consumer choice, and technological advancements. I think a referendum with an open debate will help make an informed decision that balances environmental goals with economic and social considerations.
