APG Bern wants more money for political posters

Outdoor advertising The Allgemeine Plakatgesellschaft (APG) has massively increased the prices for political posters in Bern, affecting only posters that are displayed on temporary stands. Instead of CHF 40, in future CHF 375 will have to be paid and the number of locations will be reduced from 30
reduced to 22. Branch manager Ernst Erismann justified the measures with increasing costs due to acts of vandalism. Before the federal elections in the fall, the posters were torn down and smeared or the stands tipped over. The Green Alliance protests against the
price increase and has called in the price watchdog.
