SWITZERLAND TO HOLD REFERENDUM ON COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

17/01/2021

Aslıhan DOĞRU -TDO- A referendum will be held in Switzerland to rescind the law, which includes measures against the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The process, initiated by the "Friends of the Constitution" Association, gathered as many signatures as necessary for the referendum.

The association argues that the government doesn't need a special law for economic measures and that the said law "will force the public to apply under-tried vaccines".

The government denies this claim.

The referendum could be held in June 2021 at the latest.
