Criminal charges for election campaign advertising
Silvia Steiner, candidate for the Zurich CVP government council, has filed a criminal complaint about an election campaign advertisement. Steiner told the Zurich private radio station Radio 1.
She is deeply shocked by the untruths that a brochure spreads about her. The brochure was distributed to many households in Zurich today. The non-party committee "Self-determination at the end of life" writes in the multi-page brochure that CVP government council candidate Steiner is a danger to democracy. She should therefore "under no circumstances" become a councillor. "This is a smear campaign, false in content and defamatory", says Steiner in the Radio 1 interview. "I was the first to file a criminal complaint and will inform the police to bring the truth to light", Steiner continued. She expects the anti-advertising to cause her massive damage in the election campaign.
