We want more and better democracy with town
meetings for public debate, the citizens' law-proposal
(initiative), the veto-referendum to keep government

we elected. To achieve reform like this will need a
successful country-wide campaign which brings strong
public pressure for change. MORE

A petition to hold a referendum against a recent change in the Asylum Law has formally succeeded. Over 65 thousand valid endorsements have been received by the Federal Chancery. This means that a binding referendum must be held to decide this matter. Adresse für Rückfragen: René Lenzin, Bundeskanzlei Herausgeber: Bundeskanzlei Internet: http://www.bk.admin.ch |
