| 概要 | paper is a sequel of Yamamoto (2024), title of which is “The Second Grass-roots Movement against an Expansion Plan of Factories into a Site in the Green Belt of Vorarlberg, Austria”. This is written i...n Japanese language with an English summary in Vol.91, No.2-3-4 of Keizaigaku Kenkyu or Journal of Political Economy. I described the activities of the movement organization, ILLW: Initiative Ludesch ― für einen lebenswerten Walgau, between its foundation in Spring 2018 and the beginning of 2019 on the basis of its homepage and newsletters as well as of news by local mass media. I checked the descriptions and insistence of ILLW and compared them with the spatial plan (räumliches Entwicklungskonzept) of Ludesch as well as with the one of Blumenegg. Blumenegg is a regional organization of three rural municipalities in Walgau, namely Ludesch, Thüringen and Bludesch. As a result, I confirmed that the opinions of ILLW were well-grounded. The purpose of this paper is to describe development of the grass-roots movement in 2019. In order to stop the expansion plan of factories into the farmland at Neugut in Ludesch, a site of the Green Belt declared in 1977 by the Land government. ILLW had thought from the beginning that it would be necessary to decide the issue by referendum, because the mayor and the municipality council of Ludesch had already promoted the expansion plan by a large beverage company, Rauch Fruchtsäfte GmbH Co. OG. This is the monopolistic OEM (original equipment manufacturing) company of the energy drink Red Bull. In February 2019, the opposition group of the municipal council of Ludesch made a motion of referendum to be initiated by the council regarding the conservation of the farmland at Neugut within the Green Belt. After the rejection of this motion, ILLW submitted an application of gathering signatures for conducting referendum to be initiated by people to the Election Management Committee of Ludesch in March. On the other hand, the government of Vorarlberg opened the environmental report at the beginning of March and the explanation report at the beginning of April about the plan of exclusion of farmland at Neugut from the Green Belt in order to promote the expansion plan of Rauch Fruchtsäfte. Although the environmental report pointed out the ecological problems of the plan, the explanation report regarded the plan good for public welfare because it will create employment opportunities of 100 persons and increase tax revenue of the municipality. ILLW and another NPO strongly criticized the two reports by the Land government. Meanwhile the election management committee of Ludesch admitted in May 2019 that ILLW would gather signatures for the conduct of referendum between 28th May and 22nd July. According to the Law of Municipalities in Vorarlberg, referendum is to be conducted by the municipal authority, if more than 476 electorates support and sign the written request for referendum. ILLW could gather 950 signatures. Therefore, referendum was to be conducted on 10th November, 2019. The result of the referendum was that the farmland should be conserved within the Green Belt with yes votes of 982 against no votes of 763. Voter turnout amounted to 65.1 per cent of the total electorates of 2688. However, the private land owners of the farmland at Neugut initiated legal action over the result of the referendum at the beginning of 2020 and the Constitutional Court of Austria gave judgement of the case against the Austrian constitution in October in this year, because the referendum in Ludesch and the Vorarlberg’s law of referendum denies the principle of indirect democracy in Austria. In May 2021, the new mayor of Ludesch, who was elected in September 2020, commissioned an expert of regional plan to reexamine the process and result of the referendum. The expert intensively researched from the viewpoint of neutrality and presented a report not only to the mayor and the municipal council, but also to the public in November 2021. The expert reported that the people in Ludesch had voted on the basis of their own recognition of the facts in November 2019 and that majority of them were against the expansion plan of factories into Neugut in the Green Belt still in the year 2021. He gave advice the authorities of Ludesch to maintain the farmland at Neugut for some time and to ponder over the future of Neugut with the people in Ludesch. The Land government of Vorarlberg seems not to deny the result of the referendum on 10th November, 2019, and maintains its direct democratic system at its municipalities as well as the federal Land as a whole, so far as we read the website of the Land government (https://vorarlberg.at/-/landes-volksabstimmungen accessed on 31.12.2024) and the amendment of §22 of the Law of Municipalities in Vorarlberg (Volksabstimmung enacted by Gemeindegesetz, Fassung vom 11.02.2023). I confirmed that Neugut was still farmland as before, as I conducted research field work in September 2023.続きを見る |
