• Free democracy promoting racist and xenophobic campains aginst foreigners

    posted by Deleted user in Switzerland forum 

    The liberty of expression should stop when it tends to denigrate the existence of others!!! Look, in a country in which more than half of the citizens are known to be racist an xenophobic, letting some party’s like SVP/UDC, MCG (in Geneva) to promote their racism and xenophobic ideology, make's the entire democratic system responsible of the resulting consequences.

    Acknowledging the existence of racism, xenophobia and discrimination is in my eyes not enough, strong action should be taken to fight it! Justifying the phenomenon by economic reasons, by the misbehaviour of some immigrants and using the direct democracy as undercover, will even cause more racism and intolerance!

    The most hypocritical matter is that Switzerland is known for its human rights engagement all over the world, yet it's very timid in fighting racism and xenophobia within it's boundaries.

    One thing is sure, the image of Switzerland is suffering internationally and will continue to be, considering the growing racism and xenophobia which is promoted by the so called and sacred “direct democracy”.

    As for the question asked in this forum I will say: Yes it's indeed difficult to make friends in Switzerland, beside that and generally speaking foreigners are not really welcome in Switzerland!
