Background information in English
Roughly 75% of the people of Liechtenstein voted no on an initiative which sought to cut the powers of their head of state, Prince Hans-Adam II. The initiative "Damit deine Stimme zählt", which would have made it impossible for the Prince to veto popular initiatives, was soundly defeated. Thus, Prince Hans-Adam II retains his power to veto both parliamentary and popular decisions.
Ironically, even if the voters had approved of this initiative, it would not necessarily have translated into more democratic rights for the people - Prince Hans-Adam II could simply have vetoed the decision.
Does the Prince actually veto anything?
Apparently he threatened to veto any move to legalize abortion. I also think I read somewhere that he threatened to abdicate if this initiative was passed.
