Since 2012, citizens can propose EU laws through the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), with 121 proposals submitted. While many focus on serious issues like health and animal welfare, some are unusual, such as banning animal farming or establishing a holiday for Mario Draghi. Initiatives require at least seven citizens from different member states and a million signatures to be considered. Current initiatives include 'Stop Destroying Videogames' and 'Stop Cruelty Stop Slaughter.' Some proposals have been rejected due to lack of legal basis, while others failed to gather enough support.
