- The Federal Council should refrain from overly strict regulations on public holidays. The big camera indicates this to you with an explanation.
- The National Council approved the corresponding declaration of its Economic Commission by 100 to 80 votes and 9 abstentions.
- The minority in the Economic Commission had resisted the National Council to interfere in the business by declaring.
The pressure on the Federal Council is increasing, also at the national level: a civic alliance presents a statement to the Federal Council in the National Council that wants to protect ski areas from the too strict Corona rules during the holidays.
The majority of the National Council supports the idea of the economic commission to present to the Federal Council the declaration prepared by the economic commission. The representative of the minority of the Commission, Prisca Birrer-Heimo (SP / LU), tried in vain to avoid it with arguments of constitutional law.

In the interest of Switzerland as a place of business and tourism and based on article 32 of its commercial regulations (GRN; SR 171.13), the National Council urges the Federal Council to modify the regulations (special regulations for holidays and ski areas ) in a proportional, effective manner and taking into account the protection concepts approved by the Enact winter sports associations.
In particular, the National Council urges the Federal Council to adopt new regulations (special regulations for holidays and ski areas)
- waiving capacity limits for ski areas
- for cable car operations, the enclosed vehicle capacities, where standing space is provided, at a maximum of 20 percent of their total capacity and
- By the way, stricter Covid regulations should not be issued for all service providers in the ski area than those that apply to the corresponding industries (hotel, catering, etc.) in general.
The National Council has made seven statements so far, and none of them had been adopted a day before a Federal Council meeting. “Do we want to make a statement before every Federal Council meeting?” He asked.
An explanation is simply not the appropriate instrument, says Birrer-Heimo. “With proper understanding of the concerns about the economy that we all have, a statement cannot provoke any action.”
Provoked vote
Christian Lüscher (FDP / GE), however, did not want to talk about it any more. He made a motion for a vote simply because opinions had been made for a long time.
The regulatory proposal was accepted, the vote was carried out.
SP is outraged by the “theater of defamation” of the civil alliance

The SP is harshly critical of the civil alliance, which on Wednesday warned the Federal Council of stricter rules for ski areas, in an open letter. You put yourself on stage “in a smear theater as the savior of the ski areas.” Switzerland needs fewer crown cases and no self-filing.
“Infection and death rates are currently at a record level in Switzerland,” the Social Democrats write. Switzerland has become a hot spot for the crown, precisely because profits have been placed above health. “With your demands you are not saving the ski season, you risk becoming the gravedigger of the ski areas.” This behavior is irresponsible in the crisis and makes citizens uneasy.
