However, even the cities that have refrained from banning the poster are not fully behind it. Zurich, Winterthur and Lucerne condemned it, as did the Federal Commission against Racism (FCR) on Wednesday.
However, according to SDA, Winterthur does not see a sufficient legal basis for a ban on poster displays. The freedom of expression enshrined in the Federal Constitution and the political rights guaranteed by the Constitution would stand in the way of a ban. Zurich also has legal concerns and refers to the FCR. The expert opinion states that the poster does not violate the Anti-Racism Act. Zurich therefore allows the poster to be displayed "within the framework of freedom of political expression". Lucerne points out the conflict between freedom of expression and the violation of religious feelings. For Lucerne, the balance of interests is in favor of freedom of expression. The public expression of opinion in the run-up to a referendum has priority.
Not conducive to social cohesion
Fribourg is of a different opinion: for the cantonal capital, protection against discrimination prevails. In this context, it refers to the ECR's report. According to this, the posters feed prejudices and are not conducive to social cohesion.
