反潮流！奥地利人提议把“现金支付权”写入宪法

"In that case the efficiency of state institutions becomes dangerous," Kirchler told AFP.

基尔希勒告诉法新社说：“国家机构的高效在这种情况下变成了危险。”

It is a theory that finds a resounding echo in the slogan printed in bold on the menu of one Vienna restaurant and bar, Caffe Latte: "Cash is lived freedom!"

维也纳的一家小餐馆Caffe Latte的菜单上用粗体字印着一条标语“现金是生活的自由”，印证了这一理论。

"When we have no more cash, we become totally exposed. A totalitarian state would then have unfettered power over us," the menu reads.

菜单上写道：“当我们不再拥有现金，我们就完全暴露了。极权国家将对我们拥有不受约束的权力。”

Admittedly the cafe accepts cards as its owner Philipp Klos says he has to think about business too.

诚然，这家小餐馆也接受银行卡支付方式，因为老板菲利普·克罗斯说，他也得为生意着想。

"In five years, there will be no more cash. I'm 100 percent sure," he told AFP, saying the ÖVP proposal to amend the constitution is "empty talk".

他告诉法新社说：“五年后，现金将会消失。我百分百确定。”他表示奥地利人民党修改宪法的提议是“空谈”。

Other parties and experts have also pointed out that Austria would not have the unilateral right to protect cash through constitutional changes because it uses the euro, which is under the purview of the European Central Bank.
