SVP man wants to auction off license for federal broadcasts
SVP National Councillor Hans Kaufmann is also calling for television license fees to be reduced by at least 30 percent.
Television license fees should be reduced by at least 30 percent. This is the demand of SVP National Councillor Hans Kaufmann, according to the commuter newspaper 20 Minuten. He sees massive savings potential at the SRG, for example thanks to the new media center at the Federal Palace, which was built at state expense. Consumers would not benefit because the money would be used for early retirement and company promotion, Kaufmann continued. The SVP man also postulated that a license for the Federal Palace broadcasts would be put out to tender and that this would go to the highest bidder. "That also works for the World Cup," Kaufmann said according to 20 Minuten. He wants to emphasize these demands with motions in the National Council.
