Ganley gets a lot of money from the US military, Ganley finances Libertas. Not totally, but somewhat.
Quote:
Speculation by MEPs appears to rest on the fact that Ganley’s company Rivada Networks has telecoms contracts with the US military worth more than €200m (£159m).
He disclosed last week that he loaned €200,000 of his own money to fund the Libertas campaign against the treaty. It is not clear on what terms the loan was given or if it breached rules on political donations.

It's a Constitutional requirement here that a referendum be held. Nothing noble or courageous.
Bad idea to hold a referendum here, except on simple yes/no issues.
