The petititon now has around 14 million signatures and with that has secured the requirement of a tenth of the nation vastly. The requiered number of signatures was achieved in late July when aroundd 6 million people signed the petition after a debate on it on the national news. The next step on the road to a plebiscite is an approval of legitimacy by the Ministry of Interior, which is widely regarded as an procedural act.
