After a nine-hour session, the National Council on Monday refused to prescribe opening steps to the Federal Council.
Once again, the SVP tried on Monday the fairy tale of the impending dictatorship to seize control of the pandemic from the Federal Council, and failed. The popularly elected democratic parliament rejected practically all the proposals of the popular party in the deliberations on the Covid 19 law.
SVP National Council warns of “fear and hysteria”
SVP National Councilor Thomas Burgherr fought in vain to get restaurants and sports facilities open as quickly as possible. It’s clear to him that executive politicians need courage to open up now, Burgherr said. But that is exactly what he asks of you. “Fear and hysteria are bad advisers.”
For the National Green Councilor Regula Rytz, on the other hand, it was clear that it would be irresponsible to stipulate the opening by law: the pandemic did not end suddenly at the end of March: “You can also tell the firefighters to access the fire hose and the ladder. from March 22.
“Play with fire”
Green-liberal national councilor Jürg Grossen also warned against premature opening. In doing so, he made his bourgeois colleagues aware. The representatives of the FDP and the centers had contributed to the idea of a rapid opening by law to a majority in the preparatory commissions.
He wanted to suggest to the bourgeois parties that it would be a fire game, “to go to bed with the shortsighted polemics of the SVP,” Grossen warned his bourgeois colleagues.
Three-quarters of the central group are against opening
Following the debate, the National Council clearly refused to tell the Federal Council when the next opening step should take place. Three-quarters of the average parliamentary group also voted against. This despite the fact that prominent members had spoken out in favor of the presentation beforehand.
Another controversial application of the SVP and the preparatory commission was doomed to failure: Parliament’s request to restrict the communication of the scientific working group on the Covid-19 law also sank.
