Switzerland BANS burqa
After a referendum, Switzerland bans face covering in public starting 2025.
Hope you all have had a good Christmas and a good start to the New Year!
As usual with the new year, there are new laws that take place in countries all over the world.
In Switzerland, starting today on January 1st of 2025, they have BANNED face coverings in public places.
In 2021, people voted in a referendum for the ban which has been called a ”burqa ban” as they are included in the ban on face coverings.
People that do not follow the new law, risks being fined $1107
However, Switzerland is not the first country in Europe with such a law.
Austria for example have had a ban in place since October 2017 to ”enable interpersonal communication, which is necessary for peaceful coexistence in a democratic, constitutional state”.
Denmark is another country that also has a ban on full face veils since 2018. France, Belgium and the Netherlands also have a ban.
Vice Prime Minister Matteo Salvini in Italy has expressed support for the ban in Switzerland, saying that he wants the same for Italy as well.
Another law that has now come into effect in Switzerland in the new year is more protection of children.
Marriages involving minors from abroad will no longer be recognized in the country. Anything that protects children is very good news.
What do you think about the burqa ban, do you support it?
A plea.
I have some big news to share with you. With the arrival of the new year, I now have 60.000 subscribers reading my newsletter.
I am very happy that so many of you find my articles informative – I aim to bring you the news that is being censored by the mainstream media and I hope to reach as many people as possible.
Most of you are free subscribers, and of course I appreciate that as the message reaches more people.
But if you feel that you have received good quality content from me over the years, please consider upgrading to a paid subscriber – As it is only because of my paid subscribers that I can afford to eat and continue to bring you news that you won’t get elsewhere.
As you might know, I have been under lawfare attack lately because I exposed how young girls were being groomed in a cult. They have tried to silence me, so I have had large lawyer costs to stand up for free speech. So I need your support now more than ever.
I wouldn’t be able to continue writing articles if it wasn’t for my paid subscribers so I’m very thankful for you!
The biggest takeaway here is the democracy in Switzerland where people can actually vote for new laws.
Would love to see this in the US
