The Federal Council and Parliament intend to keep the possibility of reactivating the Covid certificate until the end of 2024. This calls to action a few forgotten friends of the constitution: if their referendum goes through, we will vote for the Covid law for the third time in the summer.
Only the SVP opposed the extension in Parliament. However, the party now leaves the task of collecting signatures to supporters of the constitution. The fear of the anti-booster is too great: the failure of the vote shortly before the election.
The leader of the SVP parliamentary group, Thomas Eski, put his signature on the sheet. At the same time, the National Council of Zug called this week for stricter measures for travelers from China. Mandatory testing is necessary to protect the Swiss population. Previously, the Federal Council rejected such a proposal.
On Friday, Eskey, who is in favor of the measures, was denied his request by the National Council’s health committee. As an opponent of the measures, Esky hopes to win a possible third vote on the Covid law.
Sometimes in politics it doesn’t matter if you’re for or against. Election campaigning is when you simultaneously demand what you are fighting for.
