A citizen of the Thurgau Reich defended himself in court against a seizure of the canton of Thurgau. The misleading justification: the attachment violates international law because he is a native of the supposed people of the “Germanites”.
He considers his residence in the canton of Thurgau to be a traditional indigenous tribal area. Therefore, according to his reasoning, Swiss law does not apply to him. As an indigenous person, he was not subject to the “civil justice system of the Swiss Confederation,” he had argued. The garnishment is illegal and in violation of international law.
“Toxic Enrichment and Threat”
As the “Tablatt” reports, the man was referring, among other things, to a non-legally binding declaration for indigenous peoples by the UN. De Thurgau saw the confiscation of the canton as “toxic enrichment, including the threat of violent demonstrations by the native population”. Since international law takes precedence over federal law, notice of seizure by the canton constitutes a criminal offense under international law.
Both the Thurgau Supreme Court and the Federal Court rejected the “natives” complaint. Switzerland’s sovereignty under international law gives rise to state jurisdiction for legislation, according to a Supreme Court statement on Wednesday. The law on foreclosure and bankruptcy is based on the territoriality principle. Since the so-called native «Germanit» undisputedly lives in Switzerland, it is also exploited here.
Essentially, the complainant only presents its ideas, “which can be attributed to the Reich citizens and similar movements that refuse to accept the state,” it said. The Germanic movement was founded about 15 years ago in Baden-Württemberg (D). Their reasoning is the same as that of the Reich citizens: Germany is not a legitimate state. Members therefore often come into conflict with state institutions – also in Switzerland. (no)
