No climate law committee is laughed at: ‘People, never take an SVP architect’

“Is an unnecessary road being built there?”

Doubt arose on the internet as to whether these were really wind turbines. “Dude. These are pillars,” writes one user. And indeed, as wind turbines get narrower upwards, the pillars in the photo get thicker upwards. Another asked, “Is an unnecessary road being built, dear SVP? Then I think it’s great that you are campaigning against more road construction.”

Another warned: “People, never use an SVP architect! They want to sell you bridge piers in a valley for wind energy. No wonder wind power doesn’t work for them!” And another user called for “a week of hard labor on a construction site for your social media guy”.

It all seems like the image was created by artificial intelligence. Just not of particularly good quality.

Already abused Holocaust memorial

It is not the first time the SVP – who make up the majority of the countercommittee – has shown an unfortunate skill in illustrating its messages. Three years ago, the SVP Zurich promoted the restriction initiative on Twitter – with a picture of the monument to the murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin.

Secretariat later apologized to Blick for this tweet. The image is from the photo from Adobe Stock and is listed under the “Concrete” category. “None of us knew the monument. That shouldn’t have happened.”
