The Fribourg municipality of Rue, in the Gl\u00e2ne district, has a budget deficit of 1.5 million francs in 2026, compared with 800,000 francs in 2025, according to Frapp. In June 2026, voters had already rejected in a referendum an increase in income and wealth tax to 95%. On 7 October 2026, the General Council adopted three new, smaller increases.<\/p>\n
On Friday 13 November 2026, a citizens\u2019 committee submitted the signatures for three referendums<\/strong> against these tax increases, according to La Libert\u00e9. The deadline for collecting signatures was 16 November.<\/p>\n The contested increases concern three municipal taxes. The income and wealth tax multiplier would rise from 77% to 89%. The business contribution would rise from 48% to 54%. The property tax would increase from 1.5 to 2 per thousand.<\/p>\n The Municipal Council expects around one million francs<\/strong> in additional revenue. It cites rising tied expenditure, which accounts for three quarters of spending, and its investment projects.<\/p>\nKey figures<\/h3>\n
