summary set out in the action. The applicant claims that the willingness of the citizens to sign, in ‘analogue’ form as well as online, can be expressed in different ways in addition to the same associations that present themselves as promoters of widespread interests showing the express willingness of the citizens to sign. Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission’s official portal for the collection of signatures had experienced technical problems that prevented citizens from being able to sign, especially at the weekends when it is always been more likely to obtain citizens’ signatures. Therefore, the right to have a full year to sign online has been infringed, it being impossible to consider sufficient the extension by one day only of the deadline for the collection of signatures, as granted by the Commission. ____________
