Swiss Parliament advances legislation to prohibit Nazi and other extremist symbols.
Parliament wants to ban extremist symbols. After the Council of States, the National Council also approved a corresponding motion on Wednesday. The ban is aimed at Nazi symbols.
The National Council’s Legal Affairs Committee (RK-N) and former Zurich SP National Councillor Angelo Barrile call for a special legal ban on the public use of National Socialist symbols.
Commission spokesperson Patricia von Falkenstein (FDP/BS) said that the Commission was in favor of a swift implementation of a ban on National Socialist symbols. Against the backdrop of increasing anti-Semitism, the demand is urgent.
At the end of October, the Council of States spoke out in favor of a more comprehensive ban on extremist symbols and adopted a motion from its Legal Affairs Committee (RK-S) to this end. This motion has now been referred to the Federal Council.
