Dispute continues: compromise on container villages fails in the Council of States

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

Living containers on the Viererfeld in the city of Bern are already being used as housing for refugees.

With 25 votes in favor and 18 against and no abstentions, the small chamber again rejected the loan on Tuesday.

Now it is the turn of the National Council. This, although he had made concessions to the Council of States: at the beginning of the summer session, the Grand Chamber had initially approved the 132.9 million francs requested by the Federal Council and only last week reduced the additional credit by half in the sense of a compromise proposal.

The federal government wants to place housing containers on army grounds in order to be prepared for an increase in the number of asylum applications in the autumn. Opponents argue that existing spaces in civil defense facilities should be used first. It is controversial whether the federal government should be able to fall back on these places. The cantons claim they need them as reserves. (SDA)
