Maybe an ECI (european citizens' initiative) that would burry the thing for good? :)

That's not how laws work. New laws always override old laws so an ECI (or any law) won't ever replace active participation in the res publica

That's true, but that would be a huge signal of a rejection. What's more - changing such law would be slightly more complex than just introducing the backdor IMHO.

Not really, both things need to be done by a law. So it's the same signal and complexity as just rejecting the law when it's proposed

And the second option at least does away with the pretension of permanence people like to use as an excuse to wash their hands of interest in politics
