@4censord@unfug.social oooh very important aspect! According to openpetition there does seem to be a mechanism regarding that, which encompasses more online petitions than those on the bunds platform. I'm not well versed in german legalese (ich spreche und schreiben scheiss deutch auch), could you give it a read? https://www.openpetition.de/blog/blog/2017/04/07/das-quorum-auf-openpetition

@papiris@hachyderm.io @4censord@unfug.social it just says there's a number for how many signatures you need for openpetition to request a statement from a responsible authority. In this case, from members of parliament The idea is that that number is high enough for it to be significant to their constituency, i.e., ignoring the openpetition request **might** have measurable influence on their outcome. Nothing relevant to the parliamentary process in Germany.

@papiris@hachyderm.io This might be more important: OpenPetition promises to bring the petition to the official committee at the German Bundestag if they get enough signatures (link in German) https://www.openpetition.de/blog/blog/2018/08/03/einreichen-garantiert @4censord@unfug.social
