“Friends of the Constitution” and “1291.one” fight with signatures for a referendum against the Covid-19 law.
The so-called skeptics of the crown demonstrate in the street against the obligation to wear a mask or against the tracing of contacts. Federal measures against Covid-19 infections are also politically fought. The association “Friends of the Constitution” wants to hold a referendum against the Covid-19 law. The group “1291.one” in western Switzerland tried to collect signatures against the SwissCovid app, but failed.
“1291.one”
The promoter of the referendum against the SwissCovid application was François de Siebenthal. He believes the authorities were using him to monitor the population. The former Lausanne banker groups his movement with the website 1291.one and does not locate his group either on the right or on the left.
Formerly at CVP, De Siebenthal is now non-partisan and says: “Swiss democracy shows signs of dissolution. Several congregations have put stones in our path. Even the canton of Geneva is against the constitution. “
Everywhere suspicions of a conspiracy: Covid-19 was created by a global elite to control people. 5G providers and the vaccination industry are in cahoots with them, but so are Satanists and pedophile networks: “Everything is connected. A small minority wants to rule the world in this way. “
“Friends of the Constitution”
Other critics of the corona measures, such as the “Friends of the Constitution”, distance themselves from these attitudes. The association wants to strengthen basic rights.
The club’s president, Werner Boxer, only speaks in writing. He has reservations about De Siebenthal’s group because of their conspiracy theories. But you can imagine working together in another referendum against Covid 19 laws.
However, skeptics also get caught up in contradictions. They criticize that direct democracy is in danger due to the Covid-19 law. But in the attacked law, the obstacles to collecting signatures were reduced. Now you can also send non-certified signatures. The Federal Chancellery organizes it itself with the municipalities when 50,000 signatures have been collected. That is now also threatened by a referendum.
“I got dizzy”
Journalist Sami Zaïbi has approached De Siebenthal’s group. He did a lengthy undercover investigation for the Heidi.News website and Geneva local television Léman Bleu.
“I got dizzy,” says Zaïbi. “It is as if people live on the same planet, but in completely different worlds. Everyone only sees their truth. ”The reports sparked debate over the groups.
Very few signatures
On Thursday it became clear that the necessary 50,000 signatures were not gathered in the referendum against the SwissCovid app. De Siebenthal accuses the municipalities of not having returned the signature sheets on time. That is why he wants to file a complaint in the cantons.
Too many signatures at the end of today’s referendum period means that the SwissCovid app is still the legal basis, as confirmed by the Federal Chancellery.
On January 14, 2021, however, the next check will follow whether opponents of Corona’s measures have a strong referendum or not. Then the deadline for the second referendum against the Covid-19 law will be met., Link opens in a new window outside.
