A petition against the Volta system, created by citizens with no affiliation to any political party, already has more than 37 thousand signatures. The number of signatures obtained largely surpasses the minimum required for a request to be discussed in plenary. For a request to be debated in plenary, only 7,500 signatures are required, a quantity that the petition has already exceeded by almost five times. The petition continues to gather support and mobilize the population around the contestation of the Volta system.
