Switzerland Moves to Ban Extremist Symbols

La Suisse veut interdire les symboles extrémistes

mer, 17 Avr 2024

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.
