In a press release, the “climate attack” sections of Vaud and Geneva called for a “military attack” on Monday, reports 20 Minuten. “We demand that the army be radically changed or abolished,” says the open letter to the Federal Council. The army is mobilizing to help combat the crown pandemic.
Climate activists believe that public relations is nothing more than public relations: the army is “searching for the meaning of its existence through a media offensive.” This despite the fact that the tasks that the military takes on during the crisis could also have been carried out by people other than soldiers. “If you are called up for military service, don’t go there,” the authors of the open letter demand.
The activist does not want to pay
Those who refuse to do military service, instead, can do civil service. However, many pay the compulsory military service tax, often several thousand francs. Just a few days ago, bills were sent for mandatory military service taxes.
This was also received by Loris Socchi, who signed the press release. He says he will refuse to pay despite “high legal risks”. Anyone who does not pay taxes must first pay the amounts owed, including interest. After that, your case will be forwarded to the prosecutor.
The army is not impressed. He recalled that “the duty to serve is anchored in the constitution and that the tasks of the army are defined by politics.”
