Parliamentary group SVP rejects nationwide restaurant closures and a restriction on store opening hours as additional “arbitrary” crown measures by the Federal Council, the party said before the press conference began. of the Federal Council.
The Federal Council must not interfere with the sovereignty of the cantons, especially since the situation is not the same in all cantons, according to a statement issued Tuesday night.
FDP: Playing with the credibility of institutions
The FDP is also attacking the Federal Council. This is playing on the credibility of all institutions, according to a party message on Tuesday night. The Federal Council acts “completely incoherent.”
For the FDP it is clear that the cantons must assume their responsibility and present regionally coordinated solutions. Western Switzerland, for example, has cracked down on tough measures early in recent weeks and is now being unjustifiably punished by the Federal Council.
“It is now important that cantons have time to evaluate the effectiveness of their measures,” writes the FDP. If that’s not the case, the Federal Council should be able to take stricter measures.
SP: “The Federal Council takes its responsibility very seriously”
However, the Federal Council receives the support of the SP, CVP and the Greens. The SP regrets that this step by the Federal Council was made necessary, it said Tuesday at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency in SP Switzerland. The Federal Council’s move is the logical consequence of the overly hesitant attitude of many cantons in recent weeks.
“The PS welcomes the fact that the Federal Council now assumes its responsibility,” notes the party. She hopes that the Federal Council will keep them with them until the end of the pandemic. The SP demanded it two weeks ago. Furthermore, in the opinion of the SP Switzerland, the federal government should increase and extend economic aid in parallel with the measures. It is no longer acceptable to leave affected industries and wage earners in uncertainty for the third or fourth time.
Greens: “No more doubts and procrastination”
“No more hesitation and procrastination,” the Greens parliamentary group demanded in a press release on Tuesday. In a 12-page position paper on Covid-19 adopted on Tuesday, he called for a clear containment strategy to protect the weakest.
In a tweet Tuesday night, Greens President Balthasar Glättli asked why the Federal Council is still hesitating so much and not moving faster.
The vacillating reactions of the Confederation and the cantons were criticized. “The Federal Council must finally present a binding strategy to contain the coronavirus and orient its measures towards previously defined target values (for example, with regard to the number of cases or the reproduction rate),” says the position paper, between other things.
CVP: “Solidarity and responsibility are needed again”
CVP announced in a tweet that it welcomed that the Federal Council would like to re-enact rules for all of Switzerland. Even if this means major restrictions for everyone. “Now solidarity and responsibility are needed again to reduce the number of infections and also help the affected sectors,” said CVP.
