Buy European

I'm not sure a European Citizens' initiative is really necessary here.

In the EU, the Commission has a monopoly on proposing legislation. So what often happens is simply that the Commission doesn't propose something, which means that the Council and Parliament won't get to vote on it. The European Citizens' initiative serves as an alternative starting point, where European citizens can nudge the Commission into proposing legislation. It will not automatically lead to a proposal, but the Commission will have to explore it.

In this case, the Commission is already pretty busy trying to build a European defence, as they announced on Mastodon along with the worst graphical design possible. So the road block here is not going to be getting the attention of the Commission, but possibly the Council or Parliament.

I'm still angry that the tax the rich initiative failed to gather enough signatures. Grumble grumble.
